Michael Jackson :
I don't think that Mr [Jarvis] Cocker truly understood what I was doing. It wasn't like I was saying 'I am Jesus', I was just drawing some parallels between Christ and me, like maybe I was sent here to spread the good news through dancing. I wouldn't say I have a messiah complex.
~From a statement released after Cocker nearly interrupted his performance of Earth Song during the 1996 Britt Awards.
