I'm at a point in my life where I have three kids. I'm a father, and you start to take stock and measure yourself as a man and see where there's room for growth.

I bake my daughter cupcakes for her school. I'm very hands-on.

Within the stability of a family struggle, when there's less chaos, you can have the most soul-searching and the most digging to find out what and who you really are.

How do you fight the stagnation of monogamy and the monotony of time together?

The violence is the violence. I understand that we're sometimes squeamish about it, but I think that strength needs to be called on once in awhile, and sometimes that's the only thing that will work.

If you give a scene enough room to breathe, actors will hopefully find those magical moments.

You look at your past and things that are unresolved and figure out what you need to do to move forward and fill a role with your family and in your community.
