okay first of all can you believe the
size of my face it's like a little china
plate
[Music]
the movie is very exciting to watch was
it exciting to film well it was
exhausting you know I mean running
around and running around but it was
probably the most inspired environment
that I've ever been in and the most sort
of creative group of people sort of
everyone giving their best efforts all
at one time let's talk about some of the
people involved in a movie Alan Pakula
what's he like as a director he's great
he actually wrote this screenplay did a
great job and yet certainly what's on a
page is I always work on its feet and
he's very you know whatever works for
you whatever's best for this character
you know sort of always giving me the
confidence of you know darbie better
than anybody if you don't think she
would say that then don't say it you
know what your problem is you are so
self-involved you couldn't be another
maybe the problem here is your daughter
and that she is a spoiled wise little
brat get out of my house get out
are you sure I didn't see that on the
schedule Julia Roberts good morning nice
to see you give us a little a quick
capsule is a ssin of the story here and
what's taking place between these two
women well a lot of stuff but I think
that at its center it is about this
family and the two women the mother and
the would-be stepmother and how that
relationship initially doesn't work on
such a grand scale doesn't work as an
understatement
yes and but how that relationship not
working really does affect the entire
scale of the family unit and it makes
you realize the power people have in a
relationship to affect others around
them right
nothing yes you did no I didn't you said
whoopsie daisies until your average days
is this way how you doing very well nice
to see you again what did you think when
they came to you about this film and
said okay here's the deal we want you to
play the world's most famous movie star
whose every step into her life gets
splashed across the pages of the media
hmm what's your thought about doing that
one I thought that sounds like the worst
idea I've ever heard in my life I did I
mean when I was told about it on the
telephone I just thought that sounds
horrible boring terrible terrible idea
kind of a stretch are you dad about that
it was just about the idea that I just
saw it that doesn't sound interesting to
me then what made you decide to the
script it was undeniably charming and
funny and clever Julia Roberts is as big
as movie stars get as the line between
big and small screen blurs Roberts the
actor heads to where the good material
is homecoming is a safe space in her new
TV series homecoming on Amazon Prime
Roberts plays a counselor and a
mysterious rehab center for military
vets a place where nothing is as it
seems so it's a little bit Twilight Zone
yeah it's a little bit Alfred Hitchcock
yes I kept thinking to myself you were
such a good listener in this show
because that ends up being so important
hmm well it should always be an
important all the time to everybody
right but let's not talk about politics
and because we to have a sense of humor
we dug this Robert you always this
efficient
