A few bits from the Q&A:
On working with babies on set:
[...] We can all look forward to seeing a lot of [baby-related outtakes] on this season’s gag reel. They had several babies, and Jensen confided that one baby was definitely NOT a fan. [...] Jensen: “That baby just was not fond of me. Rightly so, since it was covered in all this goo, but when I held it up it let out this bloodcurdling scream, and finally we had to switch babies again. And he was the completely opposite - he just sat there and looked at me.” [...]
On the change of Sam and Dean this season:
Jensen: “It’s been a little more difficult - not in a bad way - but for me, Jensen, as an actor, to play this character and have a giant element of that character - that chemistry - that I’ve played off with Sam - to have that taken away, it’s difficult.” [...]
Clearing up rumors of him being dissatisfied with his job this season:
Jensen: “I’ll take the time here to put out something. Some bloggers came on the set and there was something on the internet saying that I was upset about the show, and I was like, (exasperated) really?? There were a few things in there that I did say, but if you could have seen my face and heard the tone, you would know that I’m not upset with my job - I’m very happy with my job, the show is going fine, Sera’s doing a great job.” [...]
Vague spoiler for season 6:
[...] He went on to say he hopes things get back to normal soon so season 6 can be the gravy train it was cracked up to be (lol) and not the season he and Jared have to work harder than ever! (And so the boys can rely on that chemistry that hooked us all on the show in the first place). We’re not explicitly sharing a spoiler here because - well, because we don’t want to spoil anything! - but what do you guys think is getting in the way of the boys’ famous chemistry? It can’t be soul - oops, we mean solely - the year of separation, right? [...]
EDIT sourced from agt_spooky:
"So she[Sera] read the interview and thought that he[Jensen] was upset. He's not, It's just more challenging. He did plead with her to give Sam his "soul" back because this isn't working."
On Dean reading "softer on the page”:
[...]Jensen: “Well, Dean was being written in this domesticated life, going to work like a normal guy, in a relationship…so he does read differently, he’s not the hardassed hunter, he’s just a regular Joe. So for me, much like was asked about the dynamic with Sam, this was another sort of obstacle, to find a way to keep Dean (still) Dean in this different setting.” [...]
On directing:
Jensen: “I came at the project in a way I thought would make Kim Manners proud. I was so prepared, overprepared really. I’d spend all night going over the shots…. I was fortunate to have Jim (Beaver) and Mark (Sheppard). Those guys - everyone really - were so supportive." [...]

I guess Bobby won't be the only one dealing with a soul situation this season...
