The coolest man in music, Pharrell Williams, has spoken out about comparisons to Michael Jackson and claims the superstar was betweek 'genius and insanity'
In a new interview magazine he was quizzed on a number of topics such as working with Daft Punk and his family, something that he appears to be taken aback with though, are the comparisons between him and the late Michael Jackson.
"That's like, incredibly generous and kind and overreaching," he says in an interview in GQ Style autumn winter 2013.. "That's hard for me to process. I could never dance like him. He had everything. He was where I realised can do-ness because he never lived with boundaries. He kind of lived with no time... I've not met many people like that, who don't perceive parameters".
"Michael was teetering on that line of genius and insanity and you've never seen anyone walking that tightrope for so long and he did. That man was a special one".

Williams also discussed his work with Daft Punk on their new album, speaking of his awe at working with the robotic duo. "They just did 'Tron', which was amazing. The music on there was just like so next level to me. It was wow. So then I was like whatever ya'll are working on, I'll just come and play tambourine on it…
"They played [Get Lucky] and I just listened to it and said, wow, this sh*t feels like a loop of hope. It felt like an isolated moment that is just on repeat… The song is almost like a pheromone in a Petri dish."
