"I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn't fully appreciate. But I'm now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies"

Ben Affleck's quote is a reflection on his childhood memories of the cartoon Plastic Man. He keeps in mind how Plastic Man's body was flexible and he could make his extremities as long as he desired. As a child, Ben didn't completely appreciate the cartoon, however as an adult, he is now thinking that Plastic Man was probably rather popular with the women. This quote is a suggestion of how our perspectives can change as we get older and acquire more life experience. It likewise speaks to the power of fond memories and how it can restore fond memories of our childhood. Ben's quote is a suggestion that we should appreciate the little things in life, even if we do not understand them at the time.
