"Michael Jackson was like a shaman who could penetrate into his dreams. A unique being in the world.
He died of a broken heart... I had a special affection for him.
I remember the first time he arrived on the set of Captain EO at five in the morning: he was already in make-up, beautiful, an androgynous. I was amazed.
I'd only seen it in the papers or on TV. But personally it was different. That made a positive impression, I mean.
The way he worked, his professionalism, the perfectionism with which he studied and performed every choreography or music were admirable.
After two hours of makeup, I began to get impatient; he took my hand and immediately calmed me down. [...]
He was very sweet and shy. He invited me to lunch in his trailer, where he enjoyed watching cartoons on TV. In some ways, he was indeed like a child, a true Peter Pan: introverted, but also eccentric, electrifying ...
After Captain EO, I've only met him a few times... But ironically, I saw him about a month before his death, by chance, in the office of our dermatologist, Arnie Klein.
We hugged and locked ourselves in one of the rooms to chat for a few hours. We talked about how humiliated he felt about the sexual harassment charge. And the sadness over the loss of Neverland, where he lived for so many years.
I remember his words:
"They destroyed my dream. I had this dream, perhaps childish and foolish, of a place designed to make up for the innocence of that childhood I never had ... And they took him away from me. I love kids, I could never hurt them. I've spent my whole life loving them and trying to do good things. It's an unbearable pain... They are unjust and terrible accusations."
When he said these things, he started crying. I hugged him.
He told me he was preparing the shows in London. I told him, "I advise you not to cancel one night, or they'll massacre you." He replied, "I know... That's why I prepare the best I can, because else I will have no hope of coming back and being loved." [...]
One thing I can say: he felt so much pain for the past and anxiety and uncertainty for the future.
Michael was heartbroken. That's why he died.
