WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
MY FIRST GUEST IS A TWO-TIME
OSCAR NOMINEE YOU KNOW FROM
"MULHOLLAND DRIVE," "21 GRAMS,"
AND "THE IMPOSSIBLE." SHE NOW
STARS IN THE NETFLIX SHOW,
"GYPSY."
>> SO HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN INTO
ROBBING THE CRADLE?
>> NO, YOU MAKE ME SOUND LIKE A
(BLEEP) CRIMINAL THE WAY YOU SAY
THAT.
>> WELL, YOU MUST HAVE HAD GIRL
CRUSHES.
>> IT DIDN'T REALLY WORK THAT
WAY FOR ME.
I MEAN, YEAH, I WAS ALWAYS INTO
MEN.
SPHWHRVME, I THINK.
>> YOU WOULD KNOW.
I JUST THINK IF YOU FOCUS SO
MUCH ON WHAT YOU SHOULD FEEL,
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS
YOU DO FEEL.
>> STEPHEN: PLEASE WELCOME NAOMI
WATTS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( BAND PLAYING )
>> HI!
>> Stephen: THANKS FOR BEING
HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL SUMMERTIME DRESS.
>> THANK YOU.
IT GOES WITH YOUR DECOR.
>> Stephen: IT'S LIKE YOU
PLANTED A GARDEN ON ONE OF THE
CHAIRS.
VERY NICE.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE A MOVIE STAR,
BUT I FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT AN
OVERNIGHT SUCCESS FOR YOU.
YOU STRUGGLED IN THE VINEYARDS
OF THE LORD FOR YEARS BEFORE YOU
GOT YOUR BREAK.
>> THAT'S RIGHT I.
>> Stephen: DID YOU COME HERE
FROM AUSTRALIA?
>> ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA, THEN
AMERICA.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S YOUR FIRST
IMPRESSION OF HOLLYWOOD?
>> PEOPLE TALKED IT UP.
>> Stephen: YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
HOLLYWOOD DOES.
>> I GUESS.
( LAUGHTER )
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND IN YOUR
EARLY 20s AND YOU WANT TO
BELIEVE A STORY, YOU HANG ON TO
THOSE WORDS.
THEY PROMISED ME THE WORLD.
I HAD ALL THESE MEETINGS AND
THEY SAID, COME ON, YEAH!
THINGS WILL GO GREAT FOR YOU!
>> Stephen: SOUNDS LIKE A
HOLLYWOOD GUY.
( LAUGHTER )
SO YOU MOVED THERE ON THIS PROM
SNIES.
>> SO I PACKED MY BAGS ON THIS
PROMISE AND CAME BACK AND MET
ALL THOSE SAME PEOPLE AND THEY
WERE, LIKE, OH, YEAH, I REMEMBER
YOU.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, AND SENT ME ON
MY WAY.
TEN YEARS LATER, I WAS STILL
STRUGGLING TO GET A JOB.
>> Stephen: YOU EVENTUALLY HAD
YOUR REVENGE, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, REVENGE IS SWEET.
YEAH, DAVID LYNCH CAME ALONG AND
TOOK A CHANCE.
>> Stephen: FROM MULHOLLAND
DRIVE, RIGHT.
WHAT'S HE LEAK TO WORK WITH?
I'M ALSO WATCHING THE NEW "TWIN
PEAKS" WHICH YOU'RE ALSO IN, OF
COURSE, AND IS HE AS FREAKY TO
BE WITH AS TO WATCH?
>> HE'S NOT FREAKY.
>> Stephen: HE'S JUST AN
AVERAGE GUY WHEN YOU'RE WITH
HIM?
>> HE'S NOT AVERAGE.
HE'S UNIQUE.
HE'S VERY SPECIAL, AND HE'S GOT
A CERTAIN VOICE, AND HE SPEAKS
ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS, AND HE
LIVES IN A CERTAIN WAY THAT'S
REALLY VERY DIFFERENT.
>> Stephen: THAT INFORMED ME
IN NO WAY.
( LAUGHTER )
THAT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S ASKED YOU
NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
SO IF I'M AN ACTOR, HOW WOULD HE
GIVE NOTES?
WHAT'S HE LIKE TO WORK WITH?
>> FIRST OF ALL, HE HAS A
MEGAPHONE HE FOLKS THROUGH EVEN
IF HE'S THIS CLOSE TO YOU.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT NORMAL.
THAT'S NOT, BUT IT'S CUTE!
>> Stephen: OKAY.
IT'S CUTE IF IT'S DAVID LYNCH.
IF IT'S A GUY ON A STREET, YOU
MEDICATE HIM.
( LAUGHTER )
SO HERE I AM, THIS CLOSE, YOU'VE
GOT THE MEGAPHONE.
>> "NOW, LISTEN, NAOMI, YOU WANT
TO RIP 'TIS BALLS OFF AND SCREAM
TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS TOES, AND
JUST --" I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T
THINK OF THE LINES OF DIALOGUE
THAT COME OUT OF HIS MOUTH BUT
THEY'RE ALL OBTUSE AND --
( LAUGHTER )
YEAH, YOU KNOW, LIKE FROM
ANOTHER WORLD, ANOTHER ERA.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A PRETTY
GOOD FLAT, AMERICAN ACCENT.
THAT'S VERY FOOD.
YOU GREW UP IN ENGLAND AND
AUSTRALIA, YOU SAID?
>> CORRECT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU FIND
AMERICAN ACCENT EASY?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: WHY NOT?
IT'S REALLY HARD.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE HARDEST
PART ABOUT IT?
>> THE Rs.
>> Stephen: THE Rs?
YEAH, I SOUND LIKE I'VE HAD A
STROKE.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
MY KIDS ALWAYS TEASE ME.
THEY GO, MOM, SAY ART.
ART.
IT'S NOT ART, ART.
NO, YOU CAN'T SAY IT, YOU HAVE A
TERRIBLE ACCENT, MOMMY.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SAY, I
WOULD LIKE SOME BUTTER?
>> I WOULD LIKE SOME BUTTER.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: I WOULD TOTALLY
GIVE YOU BUTTER.
>> THE HARD ONE IS PLEASE MAY
HAVE A DRINK OF WATER, AND CAN I
LOOK IN YOUR MIRROR.
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY, WHAT
WAS THE LAST ONE?
>> MIRROR.
>> Stephen: MIRROR.
OME PEOPLE SAY MIRROR.
OR I LIKE TO DO HORROR FILMS,
RRRRR --
>> Stephen: I SAW THIS HORROR
IN MY MIRROR OVER THE WATER --
( LAUGHTER )
WOW.
HOW ARE YOU AT -- I KNOW YOU DID
"EASTERN PROMISES" WITH VEGO.
HOW ARE YOU AT RUSSIAN ACCENTS.
>> I DON'T HAVE A RUSSIAN
ACCENT.
>> Stephen: TIPPET TO HEAR
YOUR RUSSIAN ACCENT.
>> NO, WE'RE DONE WITH ACCENTS.
>> Stephen: WE ARE DONE IF YOU
WISH TO BE DONE (RUSSIAN
ACCENT).
>> THAT WAS VERY GOOD!
YOU DID THAT VERY WELL.
>> Stephen: YOU COME TO MOSCOW
WITH ME.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: I'M NOT GOING
BACK.
( LAUGHTER )
HAVE YOU BEEN TO RUSSIA?
>> I HAVE.
>> Stephen: LOVELY PEOPLE.
YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: IT'S TRUE.
THERE ARE LOVELY PEOPLE.
IT'S A LITTLE SPOOK J.
IT'S LIKE A FANTASTIC HAUNTED
HOUSE.
YOU WERE IN PRAGUE, I
UNDERSTAND, DOING "OPHELIA."
HAMLET'S OPHELIA?
>> THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
OPHELIA'S HAMLET, AN IT'S TIME
TO TELL THE FEMALE VERSION OF
THAT.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS --
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: AND ALL OF THIS, I
ASSUME, TAKES PLACE BEFORE
SPOILER ALERT SHE DROWNS
HERSELF, RIGHT?
( LAUGHTER )
>> YEAH.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE
ANYTHING AWAY.
>> Stephen: OKAY, PLEASE
DON'T.
YOU HAVE KIDS.
DO YOU GET TO TRAVEL WITH THEM?
>> I DO.
THEY COME, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER I
GO.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE
BECAUSE YOU CAN KEEP THINGS SORT
OF LIKE A NORMAL ROUTINE AND
SCHEDULE AND TRADITION.
>> SOMEWHAT.
IT KIND OF FALLS APART WITH
JETLAG AND THINGS.
>> Stephen: SURE, YEAH.
IN FACT, RECENTLY, THEY CAME
OVER AND, ON THE PLANE, MY SON
LOST A TOOTH, AND --
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
-- AND THEY'RE GETTING TO
THAT AGE WHERE THEY DON'T REALLY
BELIEVE IN THE TOOTH FAIRIES
ANYMORE --
>> Stephen: BUT THEY'RE REAL.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN IT,
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT REAL.
>> I SAY IF YOU STOP BELIEVING,
THEY STOP COMING.
>> CUTS OFF THE OLD GREEN.
YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
AND I THINK IT'S NICE TO KEEP
THE IMAGINATION GOING.
>> Stephen: I TOTALLY AGREE.
THAT'S WHY WE BECAME ACTORS.
( LAUGHTER )
>> THE FIRST NIGHT THEY CAME, IT
WAS ALL -- EVERYONE WAS ALL AT
SIXES AND SEVENS, NO ONE WAS
SLEEPING, AND I FORGOT.
I WAS A BAD MOM.
>> Stephen: THE TOOTH FAIRY
FORGOT TO COME?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WOW.
AND, SO, THE NEXT MORNING IT
WAS, LIKE, MOMMY, MOMMY, THE
TOOTH FAIRY DIDN'T COME, IS THAT
BECAUSE I STOPPED BELIEVING?
I FELT TERRIBLE.
I THOUGHT, I HAVE TO THINK ON MY
FEET, WHAT SHALL I SAY?
I SAID, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU
WERE HERE AND THEY'LL COME
TOMORROW.
THEY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
YOU ARE.
>> Stephen: TIME ZONE.
YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
THE NEXT DAY, WRITE A LITTLE
NOTE.
I FIGURED CZECH REPUBLIC THEY
HAVE A LOT OF CONSONANTS SO I
WROTE A NOTE -- Z, P, L, M --
RANDOM TEAMS OF CONSONANTS AND
LEFT HIM 300 CROWN WHICH IS
ABOUT THE EQUIVALENT OF, YOU
KNOW, $12.
IT WAS EXTRA BECAUSE I FORGOT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A LOT OF
MONEY, MAN.
>> I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: SO THE TOOTH FAIRY
WAS TRYING TO BUY HIS LOVE.
>> AND DIED THRIED HIM ABOUT --
I HOPE HE DOESN'T WATCH THIS.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: JUST SEND HIM TO
BED.
>> HE WOKE UP, AND HE SAID,
$300, I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH
MONEY!
>> Stephen: IS HE THE ELDER OF
THE TWO?
>> NO, THE YOUNGEST.
>> Stephen: SISTER?
TWO BOYS.
>> Stephen: DID THE OLDER BOY
ABUSE HIM, DID HE GO, THAT'S NOT
TRUE?
>> NO, HE STILL BELIEVES, TOO.
>> Stephen: OH, GOOD FOR THEM
( AUDIENCE REACTS )
AND GOOD FOR YOU.
>> FOR BEING A LYING SACK OF --
>> Stephen: YES, A LYING SACK
OF MOTHER.
WE ALL HAVE TO BE.
DO YOU KNOW IF THE TOOTH FAIRY
EVER FORGETS TO PUT UNDER THE
PILLOW, I OFTEN FIND IF YOU GO
TO CHECK UNDER THE MATTRESS IT
GOES TOO FAR AND YOU CAN MIND
THE MONEY UNDER THERE.
HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN MY KIDS'
LIVES.
YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
>> WHAT IF THAT'S WHERE YOU
STASH ALL YOUR MONEY?
>> Stephen: THEN YOU REALLY
SHOULD GET A BANK.
( LAUGHTER )
LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
