"My purpose in life? To give in the best way I can - through songs, through dance and through music.  I am committed to my art.  I believe that all arts have an ultimate goal - the union between the material and the spiritual; the human and the divine.  I thought I was chosen as an intrument to give music and love and harmony to the world - to children of all ages, and adults and teenagers." 
-- Michael's own words during his interview by Oprah Winfrey in 1993
