Michael: I always wanted to be a musician and I have had a lot of musician friends in my life. I used to hang out with The Eagles and when I was making a film with Carrie Snodgrass I got to go backstage with Neil Young.
Michael: I got my first agent by picking two names off a lobby list at the William Morris Agency. I called one agent and told him the other agent said he must see me. It worked. The agent got me an audition for Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?.
