Ben Stiller Thinks L.A. is Soft

Ben Stiller has a few regrets, but then again too few to mention. However, he does wish that he and his wife had raised their kids in NYC rather than L.A., but not for the reasons you might think.

"Raising them here is different because I was raised in New York City. It's totally different. I grew up in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the 70s. There were... fires and riots and serial killers. It was great. My kids, its L.A., its sunny and nice. They don't have any excitement."

Um, come to my neighborhood, Ben. Kids here have a bit more excitement, Billy won a ribbon for his hog at the fair, Jane just lost a tooth, and on the corner we have a really cozy meth lab. L.A. is as exciting as you make it!
