"Michael plays piano on it, and it's just beautiful."

Bruce Sweden about the song Don't Be Messin' Around.

"Once he went on his knees and started playing piano in the barn. He played a few notes then began singing. It was a love song and sounded really good and he had actually written it right there in front of me. It was amazing to watch, it took him about 6 minutes. When he got up I said did you just write that? He said 'yeah, but I have forgotten it already'. Then he started looking for something else to do. No matter what his problems are, the man is a complete genius."
