"Michael's talent out-scaled even his own dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. He was the greatest at blending science with big theatrical concepts, which is what gave credibility to dinosaurs again walking the Earth. Michael was a gentle soul who reserved his flamboyant side for his novels. There is no one in the wings that will ever take his place." --- Director and Film Producer Steven Spielberg

"Michael Crichton was an extraordinary man. Brilliant, funny, erudite, gracious, exceptionally inquisitive and always thoughtful. No lunch with Michael lasted less than three hours and no subject was too prosaic or obscure to attract his interest. Sexual politics, medical and scientific ethics, anthropology, archaeology, economics, astronomy, astrology, quantum physics and molecular biology were all regular topics of conversation." --- ER Executive Producer John Wells

"A modern-day Renaissance man. He was a physician, writer, director and producer -- few people have done so many things so well. As creator and producer of NBC's ER, he helped change the face of televised drama." --- NBC Universal President Jeff Zucker

"He was a nice man, and he died too young — too young." --- Ray Bradbury

"Michael Crichton was the original creator of E.R. He really based E.R. on his life as a young medical doctor. Michael was always really proud of the fact he had created something and passed it on. He was the starter of it all. He will be greatly missed." --- Star of ER Anthony Edwards
