By the time the movie was finished, we were on vacation together -- and less than a year later we were married."

It was a price well worth paying because it enabled us in a single moment not only to join together in the ritual of marriage, but to draw a line and create a space apart for ourselves. A place of our very own that, unbeknownst to us then, would help us to weather a much more serious storm ahead."

Michael about falling in love with Tracy: "When Tracy did the show. I was involved with someone and she was living with someone. We worked together really well but didn't socialize or have deep, heart-to-heart talks. I really don't think either of us looked at each other romantically ... But then, when I was doing Bright Lights, Big City, Tracy came in to audition and she was single and I was single, and ba-boom! It happened pretty quickly. We were engaged by that Christmas, weren't we?"
