I cant remember which interview thats from but I thought about this quote from Michael a lot, and I know it is silly, but a part of me thought he would figure out a way to live forever.
Yeah! He said it in "Living with MJ"
When he and Bashir went to a antique shop standing in frond of an Egypt coffin
[Clip cuts to Jackson, Bashir, and Jackson's children in an Egyptian museum-like place]
Jackson: See this? How beautiful this is? Have you been in here?
Bashir: No, I haven't.
Jackson: Look at this!
Bashir: It's extraordinary. Is this the store you were talking about?
Jackson: I think it's coming up, we should be there real soon.
Bashir: This is actually the tomb you were talking about? The tomb you bought?
Jackson: Yes, isn't it gorgeous?
[Jackson, Bashir, and Jackson's children reach the store Jackson was talking about previously]
Bashir: Ah, this must be it. Let's go in and have a look.
[Jackson, Bashir, and Jackson's children reach the tomb Jackson bought]
Bashir: Is this it?
Jackson: That's it.
Bashir: Wow!
Jackson: Isn't it gorgeous? Look at the face! Come on, it's beautiful.
Bashir: This is the actual coffin?
Jackson: Yeah.
Bashir: A replica...Anthroport [spelling? I have no clue what he means] coffin of Tutankhamen.
Jackson: Yeah, and look this one's gold.
Bashir: So you bought this? Why have you bought it?
Jackson: Yeah, it's phenomenal. It's a work of art.
Bashir: Would you like to be buried in something like this?
Jackson: [laughs] No, I don't ever want to be buried.
Bashir: Really?
Jackson: No.
Bashir: Then what would you like to happen to you?
Jackson: I would like to live forever.
