Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Michael: when I have a rough day I come home and pop a little Chris Cross into the stereo, and it makes me feel a lot better.
-
Michael: (comparing himself to Lex Luthor) Lex is a businessman, but he's not without feelings. He's someone who is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. If you cross him, though, you've made a big mistake. I tend to be the same way. I give people my heart and my full attention. I treat everyone as a friend, but if they betray me, that's it. They're out of my life in one way or another.
-
Michael: I was a mechanic at a go-cart place, a deejay at a roller rink, a telemarketer in New York, a grocery bagger. I worked at Pet Land Discounts in New York, cleaning up bird crap at seven in the morning.
-
Michael: (on the meaning of life) Disney World every New Years with my entire family. Thanks to Kristin Waidalowski for making my dreams true.
-
Michael: Lex refers to his past that he was this bald headed freak at an elite prep school. Well, I was, like the shortest kid in my high school - really nervous and kind of weird - so I can relate.
-
Michael: I'm into classic games like Donkey Kong, and also collect vintage tour t-shirts--everything from Olivia Newton-John to Duran Duran. I've got a Chicago one worth $100.
-
Michael: (about his high school days) I was pretty much a homebody; didn't really go to school dances, never went to a prom. I was a bit of a loner, a geek.
-
Michael: (on his friend and "Smallville" co-star Tom Welling and Tom's movie "The Fog") I went and saw The Fog. When Tom was in the shower scene, I called him... "You look so hot in the shower." It was hilarious.
-
Michael: (on finding out as a child that he was color blind) I said, 'Ooh, Dad, I want the yellow ones.' He said, 'Where?' I said, 'Right there, Dad. I want the yellow ones.' Everybody goes, 'Those are green'. That's how I knew I was colorblind. It wasn't such a bad thing, but people will pick on you...
-
Michael: (on having a Hollywood lifestyle) If you call flag football, Karaoke and ice hockey a Hollywood lifestyle... then, yes.
