Jason Bateman

I just got to do my thing.

But now when you walk down the street,

You're getting stopped.

Yeah.

And you have been for years.

But what's your relationship with that?

Do you feel like those are two separate people, the person that the public recognizes, wants to talk to?

Or have you been able to incorporate that into what seems to be an incredibly authentic relationship?

From the very beginning, you've been very tapped into keeping it real, not being full of shit, no artifice, no veneer.

Yet the public basically has a say on who they think you are as well.

And sometimes fame, there's a discomfort with fame.

with merging those two things.

Have you made a fan of that?

Yeah, because the person who's not full of shit, who's no BS, would be at a dinner table and enjoying your conversation with your friend.

And then a fan would come up and ask for a picture or something.

The person who's like truly no bullshit would say, hey man, I'm having dinner.

I can't do that right now.

But this is like an example.

And we have a public job.

That's part of the job.
