Quoting Zmuda
"Andy's biggest fear was not that he would die, but that he would not be remembered. Given the perspective of time, I now know that did not happen, that Andy's name and work are remembered, and fondly. The things that he did will persist, on these pages and in the memories of those he touched.
To this day I still suffer the loss of my best friend. All the movies and books about Andy will never fill the void. His life was a testament to those kindred artists who push the limits higher and higher through their art. If you only get one thing out of this book, I hope it is this: don't take your friends for granted. For whatever reason, they have decided to share their lives with you, so cherish them. I'm proud Andy was my friend, my best friend.
Finally I've often been asked, "Had Andy lived, what would he be doing?"
The answer is obvious: I truly believe he would have faked his death." - Bob Zmuda from Andy Kaufman Revealed! Best Friend Tells All.
