Ben Stiller

But he was always, for me, a very spiritual person and very – I think that's what people connected with him too because he had just like a really open heart.

Right.

Yeah, I was talking to my son about how, yeah, growing up with my parents, they would get recognized.

And on the street, my mom usually wouldn't want to talk to people for a long time or she'd say hi, but she wanted to just go on and just keep doing her thing.

And my dad would talk to people forever.

Like if someone wanted to talk to him, he would...

He would, you know, get into conversations about their family, and it would just go on and on.

He used to drive my mother crazy.

And as kids, we would feel that, you know, when you're little, you feel that your parents' attention being taken away from you.

So I was talking about that with Quinn, my son, and he interrupts me.

I was surprised yet not surprised.

I was surprised that he actually brought that up in that moment and that

The example he was using was so recent, but in that moment I was like, okay, this is actually probably a really good moment for the movie.

But I also, as a person, was feeling like, oh, this is really, gosh.

And all I could say in the moment was like, oh, yeah, I guess I have a lot of my dad in me, or more of my dad in me than my mom.

It's just that realization that, and it wasn't a new realization for me, but, you know, that thing of like you really try to do better than your parents, but it's very hard to not make some of the same mistakes that they make.

I wasn't aware.

No, I was not.

You know, what surprised me about what he said was because he's 20, that that had happened, like he said, like last week.

And I thought, well, I thought, well, this is something that happened when he was little, you know.
