>> Stephen: IS THIS THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ON A
TALK SHOW?
>> FIRST TIME ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT HERE TO YOUR FIRST
TALK SHOW.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I WAS TALKING TO SEAN EARLIER ABOUT THE PROCESS
OF YOU GUYS WORKING TOGETHER, AND I'M CURIOUS WHETHER WORKING
WITH SEAN PENN, YOU KNOW, OSCAR WINNER, DIRECTOR IS MORE
INTIMIDATING THAN HAVING SEAN PENN AS A FATHER.
>> NO.
IT'S DIFFERENT BUT NOT MORE INTIMIDATING.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GUYS GET INTO LOGGERHEADS WITH EACH OTHER
OVER NOTES?
LIKE, MMM, I DON'T THINK SO.
>> WE HAD ONE MAJOR I THINK IT WAS A TWO-HOUR STANDOFF ABOUT A
NOTE THAT HE HAD.
>> Stephen: TWO HOURS OF ONE NOTE?
>> MM-HMM, ABOUT WHETHER I COULD WEAR MASCARA OR NOT WEAR
MASCARA.
( LAUGHTER ) HE WON.
>> Stephen: THAT IS A FIGHT A FATHER USUALLY HAS WITH A
WHEN SHE'S 12.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HE WON?
HE WON.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GUYS GO SOMEPLACE PRIVATE TO HAVE THIS
FIGHT OR WAS IT A KNOCK-DOWN, DRAG-OUT IN FRONT OF THE CREW?
>> NO, IT WAS VERY PUBLIC.
IT WAS A -- ONCE IT WAS CLEAR THAT SHE WAS MAKING THE WRONG
DECISION, ( LAUGHTER )
I JUST WENT AND SAT DOWN, AND THEN THE SILENCE WAS ONE THE
CREW HAD TO LIVE WITH FOR TWO HOURS WHILE THE PENNS FIGURED IT
OUT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU ROLL ON THAT?
BECAUSE I WOULD WATCH THAT MOVIE.
( LAUGHTER ) I WAS TALKING TO YOUR DAD.
HE'S FROM A SHOWBIZ FAMILY.
EVEN THOUGH BOTH YOUR PARENTS ARE VERY ACCOMPLISHED
PERFORMERS, I'M CURIOUS WHETHER YOU HAD TO HAVE THE REGULAR,
LIKE, ACTOR JOBS.
LIKE I WAITED TABLES FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.
DID YOU HAVE TO DO -- >> SAME HERE.
>> Stephen: OKAY, I'M GLAD.
SUFFERING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.
>> IT IS GOOD.
>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO?
>> SO I WAS -- I MEAN, I WORKED IN SERVICE, LIKE WAITING TABLES.
I HOSTED, I WAS AN UNPAID INTERN AT AN AD AGENCY, THAT WAS ALL IN
THE CITY.
THEN I MOVED TO L.A. TO GO TO SCHOOL AND I ACTUALLY STARTED
DELIVERING PIZZAS FOR A LIVING.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
YES.
>> Stephen: HOW DID THAT GO?
IT WAS VERY HUMBLING.
VERY -- >> Stephen: ALSO GOOD FOR THE
SOUL.
>> YEAH.
NO TIPS.
AND I WOULD DELIVER TO -- >> Stephen: WERE YOU ACTING AT
THE SAME TIME.
>> I WAS MODELING.
MODEL BY DAY.
PIZZA DELIVERY AT NIGHT.
I WOULD COME IN FULL HAIR AND MAKEUP AND DELIVERING TO A LOT
OF FRATERNITIES AT U.C.L.A.
I WOULD COME IN FULL MAKEUP AND HAIR WITH THE PIZZA HAT WITH THE
PIZZA AND THEY WOULD BE, LIKE, GUYS, I THINK THE STRIPPER IS
STILL HERE.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU WERE ALL MADE UP AND EVERYTHING?
>> NO, AND I ACTUALLY HAVE A PIZZA.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I WOULD ALSO WATCH
THAT MOVIE.
( LAUGHTER ) SEAN PENN, I WAS JUST TALKING TO
SEAN PENN OVER HERE, AND SEAN PENN SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO
DIRECT SEAN PENN ANYMORE.
YOU WANT TO BE A DIRECTOR.
WOULD YOU WANT TO DIRECT SEAN PENN?
>> 100%.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE IMPRESSED WITH HIS WORK.
>> I WAS.
I WANT TO FLIP IT AROUND.
>> Stephen: FLIP IT AROUND, OKAY.
>> YEAH, IT'S MY TURN.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GIVE HIM ANY NOTES AS A FELLOW ACTOR?
SOMETIMES ACTORS WILL GO, HEY, THAT'S GREAT THERE.
DID YOU DO THAT IN THE MOVIE.
>> THERE WAS A LOT OF SHORTHAND BETWEEN US, BUT, YES, I'M SURE.
>> Stephen: I DIDN'T ASK YOU, SEAN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THIS IS HER INTERVIEW NOW.
HER INTERVIEW.
BEFORE I GO, I WANT TO KNOW, YOUR FATHER IS AN
EXTRAORDINARILY ACCOMPLISHED ACTOR.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE PERFORMANCE OF HIS?
>> YEAH.
I THINK -- I THINK THE TIDE, I AM SAM, AND MILK.
TIDE FOR ME.
I DON'T SEE HIM IN ANY OF THOSE.
>> Stephen: HE TOTALLY DISAPPEARS?
>> DO YOU SEE HIM IN JEFF FROM "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH"?
>> I SEE MY BROTHER.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD WAS SHE BEFORE YOU LET HER WATCH FAST
TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH?
>> ONE FORGETS BECAUSE WHILE I THINK IT'S A FUNNY MOVIE, THERE
WERE -- LET'S SAY I HAD FORGOTTEN THERE WERE SOME PRETTY
RACY THINGS IN THERE.
SO WHATEVER AGE IT WAS, IT WAS TOO EARLY.
>> Stephen: DYLAN, SEAN, LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU, SEAN.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: "FLAG DAY" IS IN THEATERS TOMORROW.
