Tudo que eu quero... É todo esse mistério...

Entro oficialmente no time das pessoas que não tem mais paciência de serem tratadas de otárias por pessoas sem foco. Que buscam explicações onde não há. Acho que não captaram a essência do mestre: a resposta está no mistério... É o que torna tudo mais atraente.
Rest In Peace, Michael. God Bless You, Michael.
FAIL!

SB: So in the Bible mystery is very important. I’ve never seen anyone who understands the power of mystery like you. I’ll give you some examples and I want you to comment on them. Number one, my kids are walking around Neverland. There’s candy every where. My kids love it because they’ve never seen this, there’s popcorn machines and there’s snow cone machines, and as long as stuff is kosher, they’re eating this and eating that. And although Prince and Paris are surrounded by all this stuff, you say to them, “No, only on your birthday you can have this”. Grace told us they aren’t allowed to use the swings and all that so that they don’t get bored or it. And whenever we go FAO Schwartz, Prince can buy toys but he has to wait to open them. And especially when it comes to your career, you’ve understood the power of being hidden. Like now, I look at all these new acts, even N’Sync and even Britney Spears (…), and I was waching them on Entertainment Tonight and they did an interview and I said, “My gosh are they short-sighted. You should do what Michael does. Never be ubiquitous”. But they can’t because they so badly need the attention, they can’t hold back.
So there are two things I want to ask you. Talk to me about mystery and what it means to you and how did you get the discipline to hold back when you know that every TV show wants you? I mean, gosh, we’re being pounded by every single show in America right now to get an interview with you. How do you, where does that discipline come from? Especially Michael, this is important to comment on, because people, your detractors will criticize you and say “Michael’s a child, he behaves like a child” when really the only definition of maturity involves a capacity for delayed gratification. When other people act impetuously, and you can be patient and wait for things in their proper time, that’s considered the essence of maturity and self-control.
MJ: Thank you.
SB: And your career is built on that and I’m not just saying that to flatter you. It’s true, I’m amazed at it. So talk to me about mystery. How do you knows this, where did it come you, the power of that which is concealed?
MJ: Wow, you’re so observant. It’s amazing how you notice details. Um, I studied… I love psychology, I love magic, I love… I love real beauty. I love real talent. I love when something’s miraculous, when something’s so beautiful you shouldn’t get it. What I love about Halley Comet, and I always say this to my lawyer, Halley’s Comet is no more of a miracle than the moon or the sun. But we make a big deal about it because you see it once in a lifetime and everybody’s out there to see it. You know astronomers and fans and people and it’s this thing that circles around the solar system but you see it once in a lifetime. If it happened every night nobody would care, but to me the moon is just as miraculous. I always talk about deer and dogs and cats. A lot of people go, “There’s a deer! There’s a…” ‘cause they’re shy, they’re always hidden. It’s a big deal to see a deer, I mean, and I appreciate that, how people should appreciate real ability and I always say I don’t care if you’re the most talented person in the world, if you come on the television everyday people will regurgitate you. You have to know how to play your audience. You have to know that and it’s true, Shmuley. And it’s not just a game. But it’s real for me, it’s real for me. It really is.
SB: How do you know that? For example, I had to be taugh this. (…)
MJ: [If you remain mysterious, people will be] more interested, yeah. SB: Look if a woman is always taking off her top, on one’s going to want to see her breasts.
MJ: That’s right.
SB: But if she does it once in a while, that’s what make it so exciting. That’s what makes it erotic.
MJ: That’s right.
SB: But, when it’s everyday…
MJ: That’s right.
SB: Like you go to African tribes and women walk topless, it’s nothing.
MJ: Nothing, nothing. Leave something to the imagination. I believe in that and people are all…
SB: Did someone teach you that?
MJ: No. No, it just, looking at… learning from nature and learning you know, just watching and studying, being a serious observer. And umm, you can say to somebody, you can go “There’s six doors, you can open any of those doors. But the fifth door, don’t open it. Don’t open the fifth door, no matter what”. Of course everyone is going, “What’s behind door number five?” because is the great mystery. And that’s everyone wants to expose door number five because you know… And I love that and it’s not like a game but I want people to appreciate talent and ability. I only do an album every five years. Other artists do an album every year and my albums outlast and outsell all the other artists. And people wait for it. There’s like, you know, a whole pulse going on about this album. [Michael was working on completing Invincible at the time]. It’s like a fever, they’re waiting, they’re waiting. It’s important to wait.
SB: So what is it about the hidden which makes it outlast the revealed? What is it about holding something back the people want it suddenly?
MJ: I just, I love, I do love the power of mystery, I really do. I think it’s very powerful.
