Bob is a very tough interview, but it also reveals that he wasn't very close to his father. He had an unusual childhood, in that both of his parents were very talented artists. This was awkward to watch at times, but it was worthwhile.

This is a glorious find. Thank you.

De Niro must have been rather uncomfortable with all that coughing. While Storr covered his mouth he was looking right at Bob when coughing. Kind of rude.

Robert De Niro us an extraordinary artist. Great reverence by Robert Jr.: Thank you for bringing your dad"s work to the public. Hoping you are successful in bringing to the public your mother's work. I would love to see the photo that Larry River's (love his work) son claims is De Niro Jr.

Why do American "woolf" and howl like that and react childishly?
