I was just cleaning up my house and stumbled upon my collection of MJ magazines from yeeeeeeeeaaaars ago, and amongst them i found this seperate page from a book called 'In his own words' . I had this book from the library when i was very young and i simply ripped the page out of it at that time, don't know why i did that though.
Anyway, that all ain't important..what IS important is a awesome quote by MJ. LOVING the part in bold.
Pets, kids and places
I'm crazy for kids and animals and puppies. And i love exotic things. I've had Llamas, peacocks, a rhea, a macaw, raccoons, chickens... now i'm gonna get a fawn. And a flamingo. I don't think i want a cougar but i want a chimpanzee- they're so sweet. Oooooh, i have such a good time with the animals.
I have two fawns, Mr Tibbs looks like a ram, he's got the horns. I've got a beautiful llama. His name is Louie. This is Muscles, and i have trained him to eat interviewers. Snakes are very misunderstood. Bad press.
When i got my llamas i would make this certain crazy vocabulary and they would understand and come running. The whole godly instinct is just so incredible. I can never get over it. I guess i want to bring (his manikins) to life. I like to imagine talking to them. You know what i think it is? I think i'm accompanying myself with friends i never had. I probably have two friends.
Being an entertainer, you just can't tell who is your friend. They see you so differently, a star instead of a next door neighbour. I surround myself with people i want to be my friends. And i can do that with manikins, i'll talk to them. There's a certain sense that animals and children have that gives me a certain creative juice, a certain force that later on in adulthood is kind of lost because of the conditioning that happens in the world.
They are the way i wish the world really was because they are not phoney and they don't know prejudice. Prejudice is taught. If the world were full of only children it would be a much better place"

And alot more...but i'm not gonna type all of that out now. The part in bold is just hilarious and i love it. The whole piece is very very good IMO.
