Michael Jackson is timeless to me. The fact that he wanted to break the rules, that he was always talking about a new world, a global world - "Black or White," "They Don't Care About Us," "Heal the world.

So actually what you're playing all the way through is both and it's just what comes out in the scene or the circumstance.
