My younger brother David, after vowing to be single for the rest of his life, got married and has two kids – a beautiful daughter and a 1-month-old son, who I was holding in my arms over Thanksgiving. I could have another kid. I don't know the math on that. How do you find somebody who can live with the fact that I don't want to get married?
Are you dating anyone now?
No. I actually said these words aloud for the first time this year: I'm comfortable being alone. I'm comfortable being single. I may fall in love again, but – for those kids who are listening to Bruce Willis for love advice – any relationship that isn't founded on friendship is just doomed.
And your three little girls are all turning into young women. Is that scary?
I get a big kick out of watching them grow up. Everybody says, "Oh, you have three daughters, you gotta watch out." But I think that their mom and I have both realized that it's our job to get them ready to go out into the world now. They're really good, they're well-mannered and funny, and they have a leg up if they want to act. They tell me, "Dad, we're set rats." They knew when they were 2 years old, when somebody said, "Rolling!" you don't talk.
[Rumer plays his kidnapped daughter in Hostage.] Was it tough to do the scene where she's tied up and crying to you for help?
I was just physically and emotionally drained at the end of that night. Actors sometimes have to go to horrible places. Just imagining having one of my children held hostage or taken away from me is my worst nightmare.
