Michael Talks To Oprah(February 10,1993)-(14)

Oprah: Did tu start having plastic surgery because of those teen years because of not liking the way tu looked?
Michael: No, not really. It was only two things. Really, get my book, it's no big deal.
Oprah: tu don't want to tell me what it is? tu had your nose done, obviously.
Michael: Yeah, but so did a lot of people that I know.
Oprah: And so, when tu hear all these things about you, and there have been more...
Michael: I've never had my cheekbones done, never had my eyes done, never had my lips done and all this stuff. They go too far, but this is stuff that happens every día with other people.
Oprah: Are tu pleased now with the way tu look?
Michael: I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.
Oprah: And so when tu look in the mirror now and so the image that looks back at tu are there days when tu say I kinda like this o I like the way my hair ...
Michael: No. I'm never pleased with myself. No, I try not to look in the mirror.
Oprah: I have to ask tu this, so many mothers in my audience have dicho to please ask tu this question. Why do tu always grab your crotch?
Michael: [Giggle] Why do I grab my crotch?
Oprah: You've got a thing with your crotch going on there.
Michael: I think it happens subliminally. When you're dancing, tu know tu are just interpreting the música and the sounds and the accompaniment. If there's a driving base, if there's a cello, if there's a string, tu become the emotion of what that sound is, so if I'm doing a movement and I go bam and I grab myself it's... it's the música that compels me to do it. I'm not thinking, "ok I'm going to grab down there and it's not in a great place," tu don't think about it, it just happens, sometimes I'll look back at the footage and I go ... and I go did I do that, so I'm a slave to the rhythm.
