I think I don’t want to play a father. I do that too much at home. I’m tired of that. But in this particular case [Bottle Shock], I thought there was some real great things that – – normally now in stories, fathers are the villains. Most of the scripts, they say, "Here’s a father part" and it’s like you’re the asshole, you’re the unbendable one, then it takes the child’s wisdom to deliver you to a more enlightened place. It’s such a bullshit thing as any parent knows. The real fortitude of life is not enduring your own arrogance or our illusion of central position. It’s like trying to work with the child’s thing to make them comfortable and secure and all that. So in this particular case, to read this relationship where I didn’t have to think about all that shit, just say, "You know what? You’re fired. I drew a line, you went over the line, goodbye." You can’t do that anymore.
