Michael and I were talking one day, and I think I was telling him a joke, or something that happened, really funny, and he is always laughing, in the most inappropriate of moments. In the middle of a scene he’d be laughing and people would progressively get more upset like “C’mon we have to get this done!” and he would just start laughing and couldn’t stop. So right before we started shooting a scene, I remember he started laughing and he was drinking orange juice and he laughed so hard the orange juice came out of his nose, and I had never seen that in my life. I’ve seen people laugh but I certainly had never seen THAT happen and I always think of that, uncontrollable, and the key word being “uncontrollable”, laughter when I think about Michael, and it always makes me very happy. Cause we sure had tough days, long days, but when you have moments like that, there’s a very wise person that said “You don’t work a day in your life when you’re having fun and when you’re doing what you love to do” and in many ways, there are many days that I thought “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to do this”.
