Pharrell Williams has spoken about the comparisons between himself and the lateMichael Jackson in a new interview for Daft Punk, Pharrell explained: "I was like uh-oh. 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."
 
 
Reflecting on his childhood, Pharrell exclaimed: "I'm a backpacker. In my head I'm left of centre. I come from the pool of weirdoes. The kids who embraced their differences to help them realise that they were special."

You can check out Pharrell's full shoot and interview in GQ Style issue 17 autumn/winter 2013, on sale Thursday, September 12.
