Thanks to his friend and biographer Vasari much of what Michelangelo said is recorded. Pope Julius II grew impatient and threatened to have Michelangelo thrown from his scaffolding. He had to give in to the Pope and had the scaffolding dismantled and the ceiling uncovered sooner than he had intended and is reported to have said 'That is why that work was not carried on as far as I would have wished. The Pope's impatience prevented.'
