I’ve told friends, who ask questions about people I’ve interviewed, that the only time I’ve ever gotten up from an interview, and stopped at the hotel suite or restaurant entryway and turned around, considering the question, “Wanna grab a beer?” to a subject was Michael J. Fox.

The impulse never came up before or after. Blame it on watching him grow up on TV or his disarming Canadian charm, but it felt like two friends having a chat about some piece of work he’d just done, how it related to some piece of work I was about to do (profile him).

A lot of people took a hit when we heard of his illness. Not him.
