He told People magazine: “The fact that they’d all be together is everything to me."
Asked what his favourite thing to do with his children is, he replied: “Just being together, taking trips to warm places."
The 'Meet The Fockers' actor has been imparting little pieces of wisdom his parents taught him about life to his children.
He said: “One thing I'd say to one of my younger kids is that there are things that I remember that [my parents, De Niro Sr. and Virginia Admiral] told me that you don't forget.
“Certain little truisms or whatever you want to call them.”
“Little examples of life saying, ‘If you do this, this is what you do. Always do this, do that.'
“I say, ‘You're going to remember what I just said to you, you're not going to forget it and it'll register with you and it will make an impact and a good one.
“So that I've found myself doing [that].”
