From Michael's mouth to your ears:

• "Hey Jimmy, there's a shark there!"
• "Rather than just being a fragile, fractured human being with enormous intellect and nowhere to go with it...they put the whip in my hand, or in Chuck's hand."
• "There were people who wanted that character dead."
• "I'm a lifelong insomniac."
• "I flunked out of college."
• "Great comedy makes me laugh. Great tragedy puts me away."
• "I'm a sucker for actresses. I married one -- only one."
• "I got a lot of offers to play the goofy neighbor next door in a lot of other things and -- no thank you."
• "I've never been either hot nor not...and it's kind of OK with me."
