| Michael Jackson News Vibe Magazine's March Issue Features Exclusive Interview with the King of Pop In the March issue of Vibe, on US newsstands February 5, The King of Pop speaks candidly with writer Regina Jones about hip hop, life, and being a single parent. Conducted exclusively for Vibe, Michael's interview with Jones took place in December at the Neverland Valley Ranch in Los Olivos, California. Here's a sampling from the Vibe cover story: MJ on being a single parent: "I've never had so much fun in all my life. That's the truth. Because I'm this big kid, and now I get to see the world through the eyes of the really young ones. I learn more from them then they learn from me. Children are always the best judges to monitor something. We want a wide demographic, and that's why I try not to say things in my lyrics that offend parents. We weren't raised to be like that. Mother and Joseph [Michael's father] wouldn't say stuff like that. " MJ on what's next: "I have deep love for film, and I want to pioneer and innovate in the medium of film to write and direct and produce movies, to bring incredible entertainment." MJ on September 11: "I was in New York [after performing at Madison Square Garden on September 7 and 10 ] , and I got a call from friends in Saudi Arabia that America was being attacked. I screamed down the hotel hallway to all our people, 'Everybody get out, let's leave now!' Marlon Brando was on one end, our security was on the other end. We were all up there, but Elizabeth Taylor was at another hotel. We jumped in the car, but there were these girls who had been at the show the night before, and they were banging on the windows, running down the street screaming. Fans are so loyal. We hid in New Jersey." MJ on what he does for recreation: "I like water-balloon fights. We have a water-balloon fort here [Neverland], and we have a red team and a blue team. If I'm going to do some kind of sport, I have to laugh. Basketball is very competitive, and so is tennis; they make you angry. I'm not into that. It should be therapeutic. I also like to go to amusement parks, hang with the animals, things like that." MJ on the inspiration for "Speechless": "You'll be surprised. I was with these kids in Germany, and we had a big water balloon fight -- I'm serious -- and I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote 'Speechless.' Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it's such a romantic song. But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in its entirety right there." MJ on how he channels his creativity: "I don't force it, I let nature take its course. I believe it's already up there before you are born, and then it drops right into your lap. Sometimes I feel guilty putting my name on songs -- 'written by Michael Jackson' -- because it's as if the heavens have done it already."
