"I don't think I would advise you to try and capture Lorne. You wouldn't be happy with that, and then you'll capture a guy who's not happy."
"All of life is reinvention, so to be understood? Not gonna happen."
"For all I know, he works for the CIA."

The film features extensive interviews with Michaels himself alongside prominent SNL veterans including Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, Colin Jost, Chris Rock, and Kristen Wiig.

Michaels himself acknowledges the futility of being fully understood, stating that life is about reinvention. The documentary releases in theaters on April 17.
