But Susan [Downey, his wife] and I want to begin to be in our lives as much as we are in our jobs." He adds, "I'm f--king really good at what I do—and have been for a long time, so I don't waver on that. But here's the thing: I can only be a guy on a call sheet probably, I don't know, maybe a couple more times.

Tila's lawyer Cyrus Nownejad told TMZ that there is definitely something wrong with Tila and blamed Merriman for her behavior, explaining that the "domestic violence" incident in September "pushed her over the edge."
