Joss Whedon is a hero of mine, and what he's done for women in film and television, particularly when it comes to writing female roles that would typically go to a man, is awesome.

While 'The Help' is in so many ways a celebration of these women's friendships and what they overcome, it's also very truthful and very painful, and it was intense for my mom to read that.

Directing 'When You Find Me' was one of the most creatively rewarding endeavors of my career.

Actors are always nervous about not only hurting each other, but maybe perhaps hitting each other's face and ending one's career.

When a child is bruised physically or emotionally, parents often reward him with a treat.

I'm a grown man now, I've got a family, I understand responsibility.

If you start off as a fearsome figure in pop culture, it's almost axiomatic that at some point, years under the lights softens you into a cuddly family figure.

Being a parent to my daughters, son to my parents, and friends to many people, I would wish for a society that's fair to everyone, that's free of prejudice and as non-divisive as possible.
