Oprah Winfrey: [...] He's worked with everybody from Billie Holiday to Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. I mean, when you span that whole--th--that's not an era of music. That's eras. OK. Quincy doesn't know this, but there's somebody on the phone who wanted to be here today but could not. Most of the world knows him as the King of Pop. Say hello to Michael Jackson. Michael. Michael. So hi, Michael.

Oprah: He said, `I'm scared.'
QJ: Smelly. OK.

QJ: That's very affectionate, because Michael does not use any profanity ever, right--right, Smelly?
Michael: No. P--no. That's right.
QJ: And--and so when it got good, we'd say, `That was funky.' He said, `Don't say that. It's smelly jelly,' you know. It's smelly jelly, so from now...

Oprah: What have you learned from Q that--that you take with you for the rest of your life, Michael?
Michael: I learned a lot. You once sinabi something to me, Qu--Quincy. I don't know if you want it repeated. But it was just beautiful. You said, `You don't write the music. You let the write--the music write itself. Let it create itself. It's like we're just the pinagmulan through which it comes.'
Oprah: Yeah. I--I've heard him say he always leaves room for God to walk in the room.
Michael: There you go.
Oprah: Yeah.
