SERIES BECAUSE WE WANT TO KNOW
IF IT'S GOING TO END IN A WAY
THAT KEEPS US SATISFIED.
CAN YOU GIVE US ANY SPOILERS?

IT'S FUNNY SEEING -- THIS
EPISODE THAT'S ON SUNDAY, THE
SIXTH, AND THERE'S TWO MORE.
AND IT ALREADY -- I'LL PUT IT
THIS WAY, I WAS CRYING LAST
NIGHT.
AND I THINK IT ONLY BEGINS -- HE
JUST IS WORKING ON THIS LEVEL
THAT JUST GETS YOU.
>> YOU WERE CRYING AS A PERSON,
AS A CHARACTER?
>> AS A PERSON.
I WATCHED IT.
I SAW IT LAST NIGHT FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
AND THEN, THERE'S TWO MORE.
I THINK IT'S BEGINNING THIS
CATHARSIS.
YES.
I THOUGHT PEOPLE HATED IT.
BUT I WAS MOVED BY IT.
>> WHEN A SHOW IS SO LOVED AND
SO EMBRACED, YOU KNOW, ENDING
THEM SEEMS SO DIFFICULT.
SO MANY PEOPLE COME AWAY WITH,
OH, THERE'S SOME
DISSATISFACTION.
>> OF COURSE.
I THINK DAVE LINDELOF WHO DID
"LOST" WENT THROUGH THAT.

HIM, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME
LIVE IN YOUR HEAD FOR THREE
YEARS.

CUP.

DO YOU TAKE A MEMENTO FROM THE
SET AND THEY DON'T MIND?

THORRUE.
I TOOK THE LIGHTER FOR PEOPLE
THAT WATCH "THE LEFTOVERS," I
DID TAKE THE LIGHTER.

LIKE THAT?
>> YEAH.
I HAVE ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
I HAVE THE PAINTING THAT AMY
GRAY, JUDGE AMY, HAD IN HER
BEDROOM, IN MY BEDROOM.
YOU ABSORB THESE THINGS.
>> YOU FILMED IN AUSTRALIA,
WHICH WAS NIFTY.
BUT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO OF
THIS TRAIN RIDE THROUGH THIS
MOUNTAIN RANGE.
IT LOOKED PRETTY SCARY.
>> YEAH.
>> LOOK AT THAT.
>> WOW.
IT WAS ALSO SUPERCOLD.
I HAD A DAY OFF.
IN MELBOURNE, THOSE MOUNTAINS
ARE CALLED THE DANDY DONGS.
AND WE SHOT IN THIS RIDGE,
CALLED THE YUYANGS.
IT WAS VERY COLD.
ALSO, I DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
THAT IT WAS WINTER IN JULY.
NO, JULY IS ALWAYS WARM.
AND THEN, NO, YOU NORTHERN
HEMISPHERE -- IT WAS REALLY
COLD.
I WAS COLD.

CLOTHES?
>> I DID NOT BRING THE RIGHT
CLOTHES.

ANTI-FORMULA SHOW.
WITH CERTAIN SHOWS, OKAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO DO A MEDICAL
CASE.
YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS.
THIS, WE WERE FINDING IT AS WE
WENT.
SO, THAT CREATIVE PROCESS IS
HARD TO LET GO.

I'M INSPIRED.
AND WE HAD TO TALK ABOUT "VEEP,"
SO MANY THINGS.
