Michael Crawford Quotes:

Cornelius Hackl: I've lost everything: my job, my future, everything people *think* is important, but I don't care - because even if I have to dig ditches for the rest of my life, I shall be a ditch-digger who once had a wonderful day.

Cornelius Hackl: Look, I'm dancing!
[carelessly backs into a chair and falls]
Cornelius Hackl: Uh, I was.

Michael Crawford Facts
He has won many awards over the years. Two Laurence Olivier Theatre Awards for his roles in "Barnum" (1981) and "The Phantom of the Opera" (1987). He also has won the coveted Tony Award in 1988 for "The Phantom of the Opera", Drama Desk Awards, a BAFTA, and numerous others for his achievements in entertainment.
While Michael was singing the song "Please Wake Up" for the film "Once Upon a Forest," he tried really hard not to cry while he was singing because he thought the song, which revolved around his character Cornealius singing to his granddaughter Michelle who is dying, to be very sad.
In America, he is best known for the role of "Erik" the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera". But in the UK and Canada and Australia, he is best known for the role of Frank Spencer from "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" (1973). Although he loved creating the characters and they are still very close to him at heart, he has moved onto other projects and roles.
