“There's two Michaels: there's, like, my Michael. And the Michael that everyone else sees. Michael the entertainer.”
“Michael did it all. I am telling you that he is the most brilliant father. Almost before the baby needed something, he knew what it was.”
“I had a very 'colorful' language, and every time I went to say something, Michael would cut me off with words like 'shoot' and 'fudge.' He didn't like curses. He didn't think it was necessary when other words would do.”
