Carl Rollyson Quote

Writing Michael’s biography had not occurred to me when I first contacted him. I was not prepared for this conversation and dropped it. Julie warned me that I did not have quite as free a hand with Michael as I thought. When I repeated his oft expressed vow that he would not tamper with my book, she said, Yea, but ... In my enthusiasm about how the book was shaping up, I cut her off. It was still heady days, when Michael would wake up in the morning, come down to breakfast and say, In the middle of the night I woke up with three things I have to tell you, and he just rattled them off.
