Once the film came out everyone wanted me, including George Michael.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
I used to believe that George Michael was a total actor. It was self-defeating, because it made me also feel fraudulent.
I was just totally taken by Michael Jackson when I was a little kid, like everyone else.
Actors were the first people to accept me.
And I had known Peter O'Toole before in London. And I'd liked him very much. And the thought of being in a picture with him was very challenging to me. And he was playing the starring role.
I've auditioned for pretty much every one of my father's movies.
I had the chance to work with Michael Jackson who was as brilliant as they come.
The press seemed to take some delight that I previously had a 'straight audience,' and set about trying to destroy that. And I think some men were frustrated that their girlfriends wouldn't let go of the idea that George Michael just hadn't found the 'right girl.'
I wanted to be like Vivien Leigh in 'Gone With the Wind.' I wanted to have black hair, green eyes and break hearts.
You can talk about Michael Jackson all you want, but John Hughes was the soundtrack to my 1980s life.
