Pop icon Michael Jackson, who has just turned 50, is young at heart and claims that he still can perform all his famous dances.
"I feel very wise and sage, but at the same time very young," Jackson, who celebrated his birthday Friday, said. He said he still can do all his famous dance moves and "more".
"I'll just have a little cake with my children and we'll probably watch some cartoons," the pop star said in a telephonic interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America".
Reflecting back, Jackson said the happiest time in his life was probably when he was recording his hit solo albums "Thriller," released in 1982, and "Off the Wall," in 1979.
Those albums -- which were accompanied by a string of hit singles and videos and corresponded with the 1983 debut of his signature dance, the "moonwalk" -- propelled him to the height of his stardom.
Asked to pick a single song as his greatest creation, Jackson went back to the same period.
"Oh boy, that's a hard one," he said, before singling out "We Are the World," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller".
But Jackson is not willing to take rest as he said, "I am still looking forward to doing a lot of great things." He hopes to release new music and tour, though no dates have been fixed.
"I love composing and the whole thing. But I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read," the twice-divorced father of three said.
