[Softly] Well, Kelly does a lot of things for me. She loves me, and I know she loves me. She has a commitment to me that I believe in my heart is for a lifetime – she's not going anywhere – and I like that. It makes me feel good. I think, like, pretty much anything could happen and we would work through it. I have a feeling of stability with her. [Big smile] And the love affair she's having with my son thrills me to no end because it makes him so happy. The first two years of his life when I wasn't really working, I got to spend a lot of time with him. But lately I haven't been able to as much as I've been because I've been the working dad again, and I love that she's made up for that. I know he's with Mom, so things are fine…And she's smart, she's very understanding, she's a wonderful actor herself, and she's up for the game of life. Kelly is a planner and a doer, and we really live life together – we really kind of are at one with it. I love that I feel like I have a partner in my life.

As with many other stars, it's been rumored that you're gay.

[Nods, unblinking] Mmm-hmm.

You've denied it on several occasions, but why do you think the rumors persist?

[Pause] I think that it might be an old viewpoint – that the arts are a feminine profession. An actor, painter, dancer, musician – in the old school of thinking, these things just aren't masculine. Now, I don't agree with that, but I think it's probably the reason why it's so misinterpreted. That's just my gut-level, amateur 10-cent opinion. Do you think there's anything to that?
