1991 Interview - promoting In Bed With Madonna (sbuk)
The urge to encourage others to confront what she identifies as their emotional inadequacies recently led Madonna into a curious psycho-musical joust with Michael Jackson. ``At his suggestion, we started to write a song together. I said at the beginning that we weren't gonna do some silly love duet. He could do that with anyone. It had to be organic. I said, `Let's think about what you stand for and what I stand for.' Because the thing about Michael is he never really presents a point of view in his music.
``Strangely enough, he chose the song title In the Closet. And I said to him, Michael that's great, but it has connotations, right? What do you think you mean by that? Because I wanted him to explore not just being emotionally in the closet but sexually, too, and I thought, what better people to do that than Michael and me? The juxtapositions] I had tons of ideas for the video.''
Jackson's contribution to the venture, though, was slow to materialise. ``Michael was always very vague. So I started throwing things at him, to provoke a response. I gave him the movie In the Realm of the Senses, and he always said he liked it but, you know, I have a beautiful art collection all over my house and photographic books of nudes and stuff, and I think he looked at them as if they were just pornography.''
This, coupled with Jackson's reluctance to alter his appearance ``Every day I would phone and say, `Did you cut your hair yet?''' eventually put Madonna off. ``I wasn't willing to spend all that time being like the policewoman. And I thought, `This guy doesn't need me. He knows what he wants.''' ACESTA E FILMUL CARE II PLACEA LUI MiKE:))
