1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,680

00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: sight to Nicole, is out on Thursday. The Busiest Woman

00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: I hope that's not my title, Your busiest hair woman

Speaker 1: in the World. That's awful. It is, Isn't it interesting? Nicole?

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: When people say it about me, I find it very

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: hard too. People say do you ever get any sleep?

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: You must work so hard, and I don't think people

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: see how hard we work to put our family lives

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: in place and how much time we actually eke out

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: for our families because people don't see that.

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Well, I did have nine hours sleep last night, so

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty happy about that. That's probably the thing

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: I give up in my mind. Now you'll feel I

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: know you're not meant to do, but I do.

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: You'll feel dreadful today because nine hours is.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: As it's too long. You're a teenager who sleeps.

21
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: No, No, that's teenager stuff, isn't it. I don't know.

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: I just got into bed Keith and I were like, God,

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted, and we just like crashed. And I love

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: it though nine hours, oh please.

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: My bladder can't last. I my bladder is good for

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: me five, you know, because we're the same age. But

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: I'm good for five. You didn't wet the bed.

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: This is not morning show talking.

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: This is real, not you know what I was just

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: reading about you. You have done sixty four films since

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: nineteen hours.

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: That's not true.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: It's not true.

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: That is not true. I've appeared, they say, in sixty

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: four different things, but maybe for a day or as

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: an extra, and some of them okay, So I haven't

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: been I haven't sort of dedicated huge amounts of time

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: to sixty four films. I think it's more like about

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: forty or something.

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, more than we've done.

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: I hope I have a few more in me. I

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: love it.

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about Destroyer. This is the reviews I've

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: been reading. Have a lot of people are saying this

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: is your best work ever, that this is you at

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: your grittiest. So tell us about the character you play

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: and Destroyer.

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I play a really complicated, damaged cop who's gone to

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Helen'm back and as trying to is on a path

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: to salvation. I mean it's a pretty, I suppose, genre film,

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: but hopefully with an enormous amount of elevation to it.

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: Well you look well, I'm not trying to candicap this,

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: but you look bad, and I look, you know, how

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: do I make you look so bad?

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Damage? Don't look damaged emotionally and physically damaged, which is

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: the truth of the character.

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: When you're playing someone so damaged.

58
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: How do you switch off?

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: How do you go home and cook dinner at home

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: and have ague or.

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: To say it, I do a grilled cheese, but that's

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: about it. I wish I could sell as a brilliant cook.

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: No I don't. I mean I switch on and off

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: in the sense of I've been doing this for so

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: long and so I've worked out how to compartmentalize in

66
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: a way. But I think when it's really when it

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: really penetrates your psyche, I mean, I find it very hard,

68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: and I'm not a machine, and I'm still always struggling

69
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: and trying to find a way to balance my artistic

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: life with my with my own, you know, my real life.

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: And that's probably for the rest of my life. That

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: will be a struggle because it's I have a huge

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: commitment to the artistic path. But at the same time,

74
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: obviously I haven't been this extraordinary kind of built this

75
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: family life that is, you know, my absolute pride and

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: joy and the has all I mean in terms of priority,

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: that's what's prioritized, but a huge understanding from them that

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,279
Speaker 1: I have to rest myself artistically.

79
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: In Aquaman, so you play Jason Momoa's mum.

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: That was easy to switch.

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: You don't run the bar.

82
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: That's how good you are.

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: But I didn't come home and eat gold Fisher. She

84
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: didn't cook there.

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: It wouldn't matter if you wet the bed, if you

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: were in doesn't matter.

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: You know, I wish I will say that has been

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: more more my real life. Those superpowers that Atlanta has.

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: Is it strangely when you go from the big movie

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: one like that, because you've got all that great catering

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: and all that cool stuff, and then you go to

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: a smaller film.

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: Do you changed in the toilet or something?

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Hang on a minute, No, it really is. It's keeping

95
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: it real. It's the contrast. It is. It is very much.

96
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're sitting in your car and you don't

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: have any of the accouterments that go with a slightly

98
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: big budget film. I mean, but I always say that

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of glamour. I mean, what what

100
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: the people. We'll see what the public sees, which is,

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, walking down a red carpet and everything. That

102
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: is literally five percent of the job. Ninety five percent

103
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: of it is the hard work. And you're out there.

104
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean for us, we're on the streets of LA

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: shooting night shooting, working fourteen hour days, just just desperately

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: trying to get our shots so that we could even

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: cut a song together.

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: Well, now, when did you slip for nine hours last night?

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean part of that though, Now as I have,

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: I have pretty good way of leaving behind all of

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: that because I live in Nashville and I'm able to.

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Once I've finished with my work, I come back and

113
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm back here and I have a much

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: I just have a much more peaceful life.

115
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, fifty is the new thing, man, fifties great it is.

116
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: I'm loving her like I turned fifty last.

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: Year and you're doing a holiday new fine.

118
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: Filmsoking forward to being to sleep for nine hours without

119
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: getting up to go to the loo.

120
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: At about.

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: I want, that's all.

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: I aspire to. That's probably never going to happen, And

123
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: that's go on.

124
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,640
