One of the things he always told me was don't be afraid to be different. In other words, when you have that desire, that drive to of people are going to try to pull you away from that, and pull you closer to the pack to be "normal." And he's saying: 'It's OK to be that driven, it's OK to be obsessed with what you want to do. That's perfectly fine. Don't be afraid to deviate from that.' One of the books that he gave me that helped him communicate with me was Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which was about that.
Beyond the genius of what he is, he's just a genuinely, genuinely nice person. He got me hooked on movies that I would normally never watch. Fred Astaire movies. All the old classics. I would never, never watch those. I remember my fiancé and I telling him we were getting married, and him just being really excited, and actually just offering up the ranch to have our wedding there, because privacy was going to be an issue. We wanted to get married in a church, so that's what we wound up doing. But he made the offer. He's just a genuinely nice person, who is exceptionally bright, exceptionally bright, and driven, and talented. You mix those things together, man, you have Michael Jackson. |
