YOU KNOW MY FIRST GUEST FROM "THE ILLUSIONIST," "7th HEAVEN,"
AND NOW, "THE SINNER."
>> I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE THAT PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY STAB OTHER
PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE PLAYING THEIR MUSIC TOO LOUD.
>> I REALIZE THAT.
>> AND YOU CAN TELL US ANYTHING, WHATEVER YOU CAN.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST...
I JUST DID IT.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.

OR WAS IT 2016?
LATE '16, MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

LAUNCHED AT THE TIME.
CONGRATULATIONS, EMMY NOMINATION FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE.

HAVEN'T BEEN NOMINATED...
( LAUGHTER ) WHERE WERE YOU-- WHAT CITY WERE
YOU IN WHEN THE NOMINATIONS CAME OUT?
>> I WAS IN-- I WAS IN AMSTERDAM.
>> Stephen: OKAY, SO IT WAS, LIKE, LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING
OR SOMETHING.
>> RIGHT ABOUT 5:00 P.M. FOR ME.
>> Stephen: DID YOU REMEMBER THAT IT WAS COMING OR WAS IT
LIKE-- >> NO, I HAD ALL DAY TO THINK
ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, NORMALLY IF I WAS AT HOME IN L.A., SOMEONE'S WAKING
YOU UP.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SORT OF DISCOMBOBULATED AND I WAS
WAITING ALL DAY TO HEAR WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU DO IN AMSTERDAM TO CALM YOU DOWN?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> OH, I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY RELIEVE THE TENSION IN
AMSTERDAM.
>> WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
WERE YOU ALONE?
WERE YOU WITH OTHER PEOPLE?
WERE YOU ABLE TO CELEBRATE WITH SOME FRIENDS?
>> NO, I WAS ACTUALLY WITH MY KID.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> AND I PUT HIM TO BED, AND I-- I ENJOYED A FABULOUS GLASS OF
CHAMPAGNE BY MYSELF.
>> Stephen: BY YOURSELF?
>> IT WAS AMAZING.
>> Stephen: HERE.
>> OH, YES!
>> Stephen: CHEERS!
>> CHEERS!
( APPLAUSE ) MMM"P" OH!
>> Stephen: YOU SHOULDN'T DRINK ALONE?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I LIKE DRINKING ALONE.
I'M SORRY -- >> Stephen: WHY DO YOU LIKE
IT, BECAUSE THERE'S NO JUDGMENT?
>> YES!
I LIKE IT.
I'M SORRY.
I THINK IT'S COOL.
I THINK IT'S OKAY.
>> Stephen: NO, I TOTALLY GET IT.
IN THE FIRST SEASON-- BECAUSE THE SECOND SEASON IS JUST ABOUT
TO LAUNCH, RIGHT, OR IS IT SHOOTING?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> WE HAVE ALREADY PREMIERED THE FIRST TWO EPISODES.
>> Stephen: MY APOLOGIES.
>> AND THE THIRD IS TONIGHT, ACTUALLY.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, THE THIRD EPISODE
IS TONIGHT.
BUT YOU'RE NOT IN THIS YEAR.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER WHO STABAISE GUY RIGHT
IN THE NECK.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE FIRST SEASON.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT-- WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
IT'S NOT A WHODUNIT?
>> IT'S A WHYDUNIT.
>> Stephen: AND YOU'RE IN AN INSTITUTION RIGHT NOW, YOUR
CHARACTER?
>> YES.
SO THE SECOND SEASON IS PRETTY MUCH A FULLY NEW INVESTIGATION,
AND A NEW CAST OF CHARACTERS, EXCEPT BILL PULLMAN, WHO IS
PLAYING THE MAIN DETECTIVE CHARACTER.
>> Stephen: STILL HAVE THE SANTA BEARD?
>> STILL HAS THE SANTA BEARD.
I THINK IT'S A NICE LOOK.
>> Stephen: I WOULD BUY HIM THE SANTA IN A MINUTE.
AND YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
>> I'M THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THAT LIKE TO BE ON SET AND NOT HAVE TO GO
IN MAKEUP?
AND NOT GO IN, IN SWEATS?
>> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
AND THEN I GET THERE SKI FEEL LEFT OUT.
LIKE I WANT TO BE-- I WANT TO BE DOING THE SCENE.
>> Stephen: SURE, BECAUSE THE THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THE
CAMERA GET A LOT OF ATTENTION.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
AND I'M NORMALLY AT HOME DRINKING ALONE.
>> Stephen: DRING ON SET.
NOBODY IS GOING TO STOP YOU.
YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.
>> I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT.
I'M THE BOSS.
>> Stephen: YOUR LOVELY HUSBAND IS ON TOUR-- STILL ON
TOUR?
>> STILL ON TOUR.
>> Stephen: FOR HIS "MAN OF THE WOODS" TOUR.
VERY EARTHY.
PLAIDS.
>> LOTS OF PLAIDS, CAMP FIRES.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU ABLE TOW JOIN HIM-- BECAUSE IT'S A WORLD
TOUR.
IS THAT WHY YOU WERE IN AMSTERDAM?
>> WE HAVE BEEN IN EUROPE TRAVELING THE WHOLE SUMMER WITH
HIM.
>> Stephen: BUT HE'S ON THE ROAD FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
AND THAT CAN TURN INTO KIND OF, LIKE, A CAMP MENTALITY THAT THEY
HAVE THEIR OWN TRADITIONS AND THEIR OWN RITUALS AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
>> THEY DO, THEY DO.
>> Stephen: IS IT HARD TO BUNCH IN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME.
DO YOU HAVE TO CATCH UP TO SPEED WITH THE WAY THEY DO THINGS?
>> YOU KINDA GOT TO-- BE ON TOP OF WHAT THOSE RITUALS ARE AND
JUST KNOW YOU GOTTA DO IT WHEN YOU GET THERE.
>> Stephen: SUCH AS...?
>> SUCH AS THE NIGHTLY TEQUILA SHOT WHICH HAPPENS EVERY NIGHT
BEFORE THE SHOW.
SO CHEERS TO THAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YEAH.
YOU NEED THAT.
>> THAT IS-- YOU.
>> Stephen: NEED THE TEQUILA SHOT WHEN YOU'RE A MAN OF THE
WOODS IN CASE YOU GET A SNAKE BITE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> YOU NEVER KNOW.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE TO POUR THE TEQUILA ON THAT.
LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOUR LOVELY SON
SILAS.
WHERE ARE YOU, IS THAT EUROPE?
>> THAT'S PARIS.
THERE IT IS.
>> Stephen: NOW, HE IS OLD ENOUGH TO-- HAS HE SEEN
GOVERNMENT WORK-- ANY OF THE FILMS OR ANYTHING THAT YOU OR
YOUR HUSBAND HAVE DONE?
DO YOU KEEP THAT AWAY FROM HIM?
>> HE'S SEEN NOTHING OF ANYTHING I HAVE DONE, EXCEPT FOR SOME
RANDOM TELEVISION APPEARANCE S.
>> Stephen: HE HASN'T SEEN YOU STAB SOMEONE IN THE NECK
WITH A KNIFE.
>> HE HAS NOT SEEN THAT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU APPROVE OF HIS TASTES IN ENTERTAINMENT?
BECAUSE I'VE WALKED IN ON MY KIDS WATCHING THINGS AND SAID,
"PLEASE, DON'T WATCH THIS."
>> WELL, HE'S ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD AT SAYING, "HEY, MOMMY, I
DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD ONE FOR ME."
AND HE'LL TURN HIS iPAD.
>> Stephen: OH, IT'S INAPPROPRIATE.
>> AND THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT EYE MEAN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
CRAZY.
IT'S SOMETHING SCARY.
>> Stephen: "TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE."
>> NOT A BIG DEAL, SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE THAT.
RECENTLY I DO APPROVE OF HIS TASTE BECAUSE HE'S BEEN INTO
"NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS," AND RENTED THE SOUNDTRACK AND WE
LISTEN TO THAT A LOT.
AND I THINK IT'S BORDER LINE BECAUSE IT'S SCARING HIM, YOU
KNOW.
>> Stephen: DOES HE HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT?
>> YEAH, NOW HE'S WAKING UP AND WITCHES AND GHOSTS AND PUMPKINS
IN MY ROOM.
SO WE HAVE TO REALLY LIMIT HIS VIEWING.
BUT HE LOVES IT SO MUCH.
AND NOW I HAVE TO SORT OF EXPLAIN TO HIM THINGS LIKE-- HE
SAYS, "JACK SKELINGTON, THE CHARACTER SAYS, "AND SINCE I AM
DEAD I CAN TAKE OFF MY HEAD."
AND HE SAYS, "MOMMY, DEAD.
LET'S PLAY DEAD."
AND IT'S LIKE, "OKAY.
LET'S PLAY DEAD."
>> Stephen: YOU PLAY DEAD?
>>O SO WE PLAY DEAD.
AND I LOOK AT HIM AND HE'S PLAYING DEAD AND I'M PLAYING
DEAD, AND WE GET UP.
AND HE'S LIKE, "DID YOU GET DEAD?"
I GO, "YEAH, I GOT DEAD."
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS BAD.
AS IT'S COMING OUT IT'S SOUNDING LIKE --
>> Stephen: NOT AT ALL.
YOU ARE AN EMMY-NOMINATED ACTRESS.
COULD I SEE YOUR DEAD AGAIN.
>> THAT WAS MY DEAD.
>> Stephen: I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO APPRECIATE IT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU'RE GOING TO WIN.
YOU'RE GOING TO WIN.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> Stephen: SEASON TWO OF "THE SINNER" AIRS WEDNESDAYS ON
USA NETWORK.
