Director-actor Emilio Estevez tells how he wrote his movie 'Bobby', during a press conference at the 31st annual Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on Thursday, 14 September 2006.

Director-actor Emilio Estevez tells how he wrote his movie 'Bobby', during a press conference at the 31st annual Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada on Thursday, 14 September 2006. EPA/WARREN TODAEstevez stated: "It’s not as if there was some falling out. But like I said, I don’t go out to parties. I’m out north of Malibu, north of where the madness takes place. I’ve got an acre of land. I’ve planted grapes. I’m growing pinot noir."Charlie Sheen and his brother Emilio have had many ups and downs, and have taken wildly different paths in life and career. "You think? Different souls, man. Different interests. I guess it depends on who you are before all of that happens to you. Are you gonna be that person anyway? Are you predisposed to want to abuse drugs and alcohol before you become a celebrity with a lot of money and the access to it?" said Estevez.When asked how he reconciled and why he was estranged from his brother in the first place, Estevez was forthcoming: "He (Sheen) was in a very dark place and he’d had a stroke. It was coke—a drug induced stroke. His publicist was trying to cover it up and my dad said, Bulls**t. Once again. My dad is like this fu**ing truth meter." According to GQ.com.
