Acting icon Eric Roberts spills the tea, clears up rumors about his relationship with his famous sister, Julia Roberts, gets emotional about his daughter, Emma Roberts, and shows why he's so reliant on his wife, Eliza.

You'll see Eric start to tear up and cry when he opens up about his daughter, Emma Roberts, and get uncomfortable when he's asked about something very personal - being abused.

Eric and I talk about women and empowerment and you'll hear Eric say things like "women are nicer to work with because they are more thoughtful …even the bitches" and "show business is cruel and unforgiving."

Eric opens up about his difficult childhood and how he overcame stuttering. Eric tells stories about fame, Sir Lawrence Olivier and what his close friend Christopher Walken taught him about being a celebrity.

Eric also gets emotional about one celebrity's tragic end. And how hard it was to write his memoir, Runaway Train: Or, The Story of My Life So Far.
