“It’s so interesting, when you meet little kids and that resonates, when that hits home. It’s easy to think it and assume it, but then when you meet a kid and you think, “Man, this kid really looks up to me. What a strange thing. He doesn’t even know me!” That’s so funny. I remember feeling that way when I was a kid. It’s a beautiful thing. Not to sound cheesy but it’s really cool. You owe that to them. That’s part of the responsibility of this job.”

Do you ever think that maybe when Renner was a kid and his pogo-stick self, some well meaning adult glared at him in exasperation and said, “You have to settle down, stop being silly and act like a big kid, because otherwise when you grow up no one’s going to take you seriously.”

And bb!Renner just narrowed his eyes and said, “Challenge accepted.”
