ADD QUOTES
- Quincy: People kill me when they say, 'How do you sit down and plan to do an album like Thriller?' Give me a break. You have to let go and let God deal with things. As I get older, I realize, about music or whatever, how little we have to do with anything. You write the script and then God comes and rewrites it.
