PLAY AREA FOR THE CHILD?

>> Stephen: THEY'RE ALL PARENTS.
THEY'RE ALL BOOKING THEIR TICKETS TO LOS ANGELES RIGHT
NOW, JUST TO HAVE A COCKTAIL IN PEACE.
>> PLEASE COME, PLEASE COME AND SEE US.

U.S.A. NETWORK, CALLED "THE SINNER."
>> YES.
>.>> >> Stephen: AND YOU ARE THE
SINNER.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND I DON'T THINK I'M GIVING ANYTHING AWAY, WHERE
I SAY YOU MURDER A MAN WITH A STEAK NICE.
>> IT'S A BUTTER KNIFE.
>> Stephen: HOW HARD ARE YOU CHOPPING AT SOMEBODY WITH A
BUTTER KNIFE.
>> PRETTY HARD.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT A WHODUNIT?
IT'S CALLED A "WHY DONE IT?" >> YOU'RE NOT GIVING ANYTHING
AWAY.
IMMEDIATELY WE'RE TELLING YOU, THIS IS THE PERSON WHO DID THIS
VIOLENT ACT.
OPINION MY CHARACTER IS SAYING, "I DID THIS THING.
YOU SHOULD PUT ME AWAY.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I DON'T WANT A LAWYER.
I WANT NONE OF IT.
JUST PUT ME AWAY."
>> Stephen: AND THE OTHER SEVEN EPISODES ARE...
>> JUST ME SITTING IN A CELL.
IT'S VERY COMPELLING.
THE DETECTIVE BECOMES FIXATED ON THIS CASE BECAUSE THIS BEHAVIOR
IS VERY UNUSUAL.
>> Stephen: IT MAKES NO SENSE.
>> IT MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.
SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON AND HE'S OBSESSED AND HE UNRAVELS
THE CASE.
>> Stephen: UP TO THIS POINT YOU HAVE BEEN A MODEL CITIZEN.
>> YES, I HAVE A FAMILY, A PRETTY NORMAL LIFE, AND THEN YOU
START TO UNCOVER THE PAST THIS WOMAN HAS.
>> Stephen: AND I THINK WE HAVE A CLIP OF YOU ON THE PHONE
WITH BILL PULLMAN RIGHT HERE.
>> YES.
>> HELLO.
>> YOU HAVE TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.
>> WE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE TALKING.
>> TAKE ME TO WHERE YOU THINK IT HAPPENED-- THE CLUB, THE
BASEMENT.
MAYBE IF I COULD JUST GO, THEN I CAN REMEMBER THE REST.
>> IT'S THE STATE POLICE MATTER NOW.
THEY WON'T LET ME TAKE YOU OUT.
>> WHY NOT?
>> BECAUSE THEY THINK I'M GET TO GO CLOSE TO YOU.
>> YOU'VE GIVEN UP.
>> Stephen: ANOTHER SO NOT ONLY ARE YOU STARRING IN THIS,
BUT YOU'RE ALSO THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: OF THIS, OF THIS SHOW.
( APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: SURE.
WHY NOT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHY NOT?
>> I'LL TAKE SOME APPLAUSE.
>> Stephen: NOW, HOW DOES THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER FEEL ABOUT
THE STAR?
IS, LIKE, ARE YOU A DIVA TO THE PRODUCER SIDE OF YOU?
WHAT WERE YOUR DEMANDS LIKE IN YOUR CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS?
>> IT WAS A TOUGH-- IT WAS A TOUGH NEGOTIATION.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> THE STAR WON.
SHE GOT WHAT SHE -- >> Stephen: OH, WOW, OH, WOW.
>> THAT'S NOT TRUE.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
HERE'S MY ISSUE, IS I'M-- I'M A BIT OF A PUSH-OAFER PRODUCER BUT
I'M KIND OF A BITCHY STAR.
I'M STRUGGLING HERE.
WHO IS GOING TO WIN.
AND I'M A BAD PRODUCER IN THE SENSE THAT I-- I WANT EVERYONE
TO JUST BE HAPPY AND FEEL GOOD, AND IF, YOU KNOW-- PART OF --
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT A TERRIBLE THING FOR A PRODUCER TO
BE.
I WISH MY PRODUCER WAS LIKE THAT.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE DOING YOUR JOB BY NOT GIVING ALL THESE
THINGS.
AND MY PROBLEM IS, YOU KNOW, IF MY ACTOR COMES TO ME AND SAYS,
"I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THIS.
I NEED THIS."
I'M LIKE, "NO PROBLEM.
WE'LL FIX IT.
WE GOT IT.
YOU WANT MORE MONEY, SURE.
YOU WANT A BIGGER TRAILER, GREAT.
YOU WANT A DAY OFF FINE.
AND MY PRODUCERRING PARTNERS ARE GOING WE CAN'T DO THAT.
>> Stephen: THEY'RE LIKE ACTORS ARE ANIMALS.
YOU CAN ALWAYS RENT ANOTHER ONE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THEY'RE CHATTEL.
>> I'M CONFUSED.
I BASICALLY SPENT THE ENTIRE SHOOT BEING TERRIBLE CONFUSED
WITHIN MYSELF, ABOUT MYSELF.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A MURDER MYSTERY OF A TYPE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, YOU ACTUALLY WROTE KIND
OF DARK STORIES OF YOUR OWN.
WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, YOU ACTUALLY WROTE YOUR OWN LITTLE
SHORT STORIES THAT WERE KIND OF, MAYBE DISTURBING.
>> YEAH, THEY WERE WEIRD.
THEY WERE INTENSE AND DARK.
I HAD THIS LITERALLY IDYLLIC SORT OF --
>> Stephen: WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
>> GROWING UP IN EXPERIENCE.
I GREW UP IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PLACES BUT MAINLY
BOULDER, COLORADO.
MY FAMILY WAS GREAT.
IT WAS VERY NORMAL.
I DON'T KNOW, I WAS FIXATED ON DARK, SCARY, INTENSE, DRAMATIC
THINGS.
>> Stephen: DID YOU WRITE HORROR STORIES?
>> I WROTE, LIKE, WEIRDO STORIES, BUT ALSO I JUST WROTE
STORIES THAT WERE MEANT TO INTRIGUE YOU AND MEANT TO SOUND
REALLY COOL THAT MADE NO SENSE.
LIKE, I THINK ONE OF THE TITLES WAS, "THE BEGINNING OF THE NEVER
BEFORE."
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I GUARANTEE YOU
SOMEONE IN HOLLYWOOD WOULD BUY THAT BASED ON THE TITLE.
THAT'S THE NEXT HARRY POTTER RIGHT THERE "THE BEGINNING OF
THE NEVER BEFORE."
>> MAYBE I REALLY HAD SOMETHING GOING ON BACK THEN.
>> Stephen: "THE BEGINNING OF NEVER BEFORE," IT'S WHAT HAPPENS
AT A TIME THAT NEVER WAS.
>> EXACTLY.
IT'S VERY INTRIGUING.
>> Stephen: EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, JESSICA BIEL.
GOOD LUCK GETTING JESSICA BIEL, BECAUSE SHE'S A TOTAL DIVA.
>> SHE IS.
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> Stephen: "THE SINNER" AIRS WEDNESDAYS ON USA NETWORK.
JESSICA BIEL, EVERYBODY!
