Kevin Costner feels 'lucky' although 'tough times' have left him 'bruised': 'I'm a single father'

Kevin Costner opened up how his trials and tribulations have helped him evaluate the kind of man he wants to be moving forward.

"You know, I don't want to circle this back to movies, but I will for a second," Costner said after being asked how he handles life when "stuff hits the fan."
