Michael Jackson reveals love of water balloon fights

Michael Jackson says he loves water balloon fights.

He says he has his own water balloon fort at his home, Neverland.

Jackson says the fights have inspired him when writing songs.

"I was with these kids in Germany, and we had a big water balloon fight and I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote Speechless", he tells Vibe magazine.

"Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it's such a romantic song. But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in its entirety right there.

"If I'm going to do some kind of sport, I have to laugh. It should be therapeutic. I also like to go to amusement parks, hang with the animals, things like that."
