“I am a huge Michael Jackson fan.” — Lee Pace Quote

I am a huge Michael Jackson fan.

I left school my senior year to do a play at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas. Then while I was doing a play, I auditioned for Juilliard. I got in over the summer, and they told me, 'You have to graduate high school to come here. You don't need the SATs, but you do need to graduate high school.' I finished over the summer through correspondence.

' Daisies' is about a guy touching dead people and bringing them back to life. It's kind of morbid, you know. But there's a love to it. There's a kind-heartedness to it that I think makes it - I don't know; it's a good thing to put out there in the world, so I'm glad people responded.

It is a total treat to get to work with James Cromwell.

My dad documented my whole life on video and there are so many recordings of my sister and I dancing and singing along to Michael Jackson's music.

My song from 'Footloose,' 'Almost Paradise,' went number 1 dislodging Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' from that spot.

My 'Slide Some Oil' ain't gon' be Nipsey Russell's 'Slide Some Oil.' Elijah Kelley's 'You Can't Win' ain't gon' be Michael Jackson's 'You Can't Win.'

I don't want to go all Michael Jackson on you, but I never really had a childhood.

I want to be better than Bo Jackson, hopefully.
