GG: How much more do you feel you want to achieve in your life?
MJ: I’m never satisfied. There are so many different avenues and so many different things that I want to do. I’ve done a lot, but I don’t think it’s enough, which is why I don’t put up any awards or anything in my house. You won’t see any awards in my house, I put them all away in storage. Because if you get caught up in that, you start to feel like, ‘Oh, man, I did it.’ There’s so much more, so many more mountains to climb. - Interview with Gold Magazine (2002)

When the title track “Dangerous” was being recorded,Michael was injured in the studio and had to be rushed to the hospital! A temporary recording booth that we had built for him collapsed and knocked him on the head just as he started singing.
He ended up being just fine,and for a long time,we used to play an early mix of the song which started with a sample of him screaming in pain as the walls came tumbling down!
He was amazing in the studio.He has the equivalent of a photographic memory for music.He could sing something 40 different ways,and then two weeks later,remember that takes # 6 and 27 were the best ones.
We recorded so much music for Dangerous,that it was nearly impossible for MJ to pick out what was going to end up on the album.At one point,it was going to be a double album,as he had well over two hours of music chosen for the release.
When Sony decided they wanted it all to fit on a single CD,Michael kept coming back with lists of his his “final” selections,but they almost always added up to over 74 minutes—the maximum running time for the disc.I remember them going back and forth on this for weeks.story by Sam L Parity - My Brush with Badness

“When MTV executive Les Garland arrived for a scheduled visit, he waited in the living room of Jackson’s trailer, chatting with a couple of female assistants. Then “a pair of socks came bouncing out from the bedroom and landed by me,” says Garland. “One of the ladies said, ‘That means Michael is up and ready to see you now.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s unique.’” - Vanity Fair ‘The Thriller diaries’, Nancy Griffin
