>> Stephen: WELL, IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU ON.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
YOU KNOW I'M A BIG FAN.
I'VE TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.
>> AND I AM OF YOU.
I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.
>> Stephen: OH!
>> DIDN'T I?
>> Stephen: I LOVE HEARING IT AGAIN.
( LAUGHTER ) WELL, THE BIG NEWS IS--
OBVIOUSLY, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR MOVIE AND ABOUT YOURSELF
AND ABOUT YOUR LIFE, BUT THE BIG NEWS RIGHT NOW IS YOU AND YOUR
HUSBAND DANIEL CRAIG HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.
SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL THEM WHAT IT IS?
>> I THINK IT'S KIND OF VISIBLE.
I GUESS, RIGHT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: YOU'RE-- >> I MEAN, I CAN SAY IT.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY IT.
FOR ALL I KNOW IT'S A BURRITO.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> TOO MUCH PIZZA.
>> Stephen: YES.
>> YES, I'M-- I'M PREGNANT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY.
CONGRATULATIONS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> VERY SOON.
>> Stephen: IT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU CAN SAY THAT ON AMERICAN TV NOW THEY'VE LOOSENED UP.
>> I'M MARRIED.
>> Stephen: OH, GOOD.
YEAH.
GOOD TO HEAR IT.
SO YOU AND DANIEL CRAIG, OF COURSE, ARE--
>> I WAS JUST SAYING THAT IN CASE IT WAS LIKE, OLD SCHOOL--
ANYWAY.
>> Stephen: NO, NO.
>> YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: OH, NO, NO, NO.
WE ALLOW-- CBS.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO KISS ANY EVERYTHING NOW.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: SO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND LIVE IN NEW YORK NOW, I
UNDERSTAND.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: IS THE CHILD GOING TO BE RAISED AMERICAN OR
ENGLISH?
HOW WILL THE CHILD-- IS IT GOING TO BE FEET AND POUNDS, OR IS IT
GOING TO BE DOLLARS AND METERS?
WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE?
IS IT GOING TO BE AN ELEVATOR?
IS IT GOING TO BE A LIFT?
WHAT IS THE CHILD GOING TO GROW UP WITH?
>> I SUPPOSE IT WILL HAVE TO BE BILINGUAL.
>> Stephen: OH, SURE.
>> THE OTHER WORDS THAT COME TO MIND-- WELL, FOR A BABY, WE
DON'T SAY "DIAPER."
WE SAY "NAPPY."
>> Stephen: OH, REALLY.
WE WIPE OUR FACES WITH THOSE.
>> DOES ANYONE EVER SAY COAL-BERT AND GET IT WRONG.
>> Stephen: NO THEY GET IT RIGHT AND CALL IT COAL-BERT.
MY DAD WAS COAL-BERT.
AND THERE ARE 11 OF US BECAUSE HALF OF US SAY COAL-BERT AND
HALF SAY COAL-BEAR.
MY DAD WANTED TO BE COAL-BEAR.
AND HIS FATHER SAID IF YOU CALL YOURSELF JAMES COAL-BEAR AND I'M
COAL-BERT, I WILL THINK YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH
US AND I'LL BE INSULTED.
MY DAD SAID WE COULD DO WHATEVER WE WANT.
>> YOU CHOSE.
>> Stephen: YEAH, I WAS 19 AND I SAID, I'LL GO WITH COAL-BEAR."
THERE ARE A LOT OF OF LAWYERS IN THE FAMILY SO IT'S THE LAW FIRM
OF COAL-BERT, COAL-BERT, KEEL-BERT, COAL BEAR.
>> IS THAT REAL.
>> Stephen: IT'S REAL ABOUT THE PRONUNCIATION.
THE NEW FILM "DISOBEDIENCE," WHICH YOU PRODUCED.
IN THE FIRST FILM YOU PRODUCED?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: SYSTEM THE STORY OF-- TELL ME IF I'M DESCRIBING
THIS CORRECTLY.
IT'S A LESBIAN LOVE STORY TAKING PLACE INSIDE AN ULTRAORTHODOX
JEWISH COMMUNITY IN LONDON.
>> UH-HUH.
>> Stephen: ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE.
"AVENGERS 5 IN THIS FILM.
NO MORE SEQUELS!
PLEASE!
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO HAVE THIS BE A THE FIRST FILM YOU
PRODUCED.
>> IT'S SUCH A TIRED GENRE, WORN OUT.
OH, GOD.
WELL, I WAS LOOKING FOR A STORY THAT HAD NOT ONE BUT TWO REALLY
GOOD FEMALE ROLES.
SO IT SEEMED KIND OF PERFECT THAT IT WOULD BE A LOVE STORY.
>> Stephen: AND RACHEL McADAMS PLAYS YOUR LOVE
INTEREST.
>> YES, SHE'S FANTASTIC IN IT.
A BIG BRAVO.
>> Stephen: THE RACHELS.
>> YES, TWO RAICHLES.
AND IT'S A COMMUNITY-- IT'S LIKE THREE STOPS NORTH OF WHERE I
GREW UP IN LONDON, SO I GREW UP ON THE NORTHERN LINE, ON THE--
TUBE, WE SAY.
YOU SAY SUBWAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT A TUBE IS.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I GREW UP IN HENDON, WHERE THIS COMMUNITY IS.
AND IT'S A VERY CLOSED COMMUNITY, VERY PRIVATE.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW-- I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
COMMUNITY -- >> Stephen: YOU'RE JEWISH AND
YOU GREW UP NOT THAT FAR AWAY.
WHAT WAS YOUR IMAGE OF THAT COMMUNITY GROWING UP?
DID YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
>> NO, JUST VERY, VERY, VERY PRIVATE.
MY DAD'S JEWISH.
MY MOM WAS RAISED CATHOLIC.
BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY INTERWAKS THESE PEOPLE.
BUT, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL SENSE OF COMMUNITY,
SPIRITUALITY.
BUT YOU CAN'T BE GAY.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> IF YOU LIVE THERE.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
THAT'S MY-- THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
>> YEAH.
SO IT WAS A GOOD ZONE FOR A STORY WITH SOMETHING ABOUT
SEXUALITY AND LOVING WHO YOU WANT TO LOVE IS TABU.
>> Stephen: YOUR CHARACTER HAS LEFT AND COME TO THE UNITED
STATES.
>> YEAH, NEW YORK.
>> Stephen: AS AN ARTIST AIR, PHOTOGRAPHER.
>> A PHOTOGRAPHER IN NEW YORK.
SHE'S ABANDONED HER FAITH.
SHE'S COMPLETELY SECULAR.
SHE WAS ACTUALLY BANISHED BY HER FATHER, WHO WAS THE RABBI OF THE
COMMUNITY, BECAUSE HE FOUND HER IN BED WITH HER CHILDHOOD BEST
FRIEND RACHEL McADAMS MANY YEARS AGO.
AND HE'S LIKE, "YOU'RE OUT OF HERE."
I COME TO NEW YORK.
AND THE FILM BEGINS WITH MY CHARACTER BEING SUMMONED BACK TO
HENDON, THIS COMMUNITY, FOR MY FATHER'S FUNERAL.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
>> BASICALLY THE COMMUNITY IS NOT VERY PLEASED THAT I'VE COME
BACK, TO PUT IT MILDLY.
>> Stephen: DID EVERYONE KNOW WHY YOU HAD TO LEAVE?
>> EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY.
AND THEY BLAMED ME RATHER THAN RACHEL McADAMS' CHARACTER.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
AND SO THE COMMUNITY ALL WANT ME TO LEAVE, AND SO I'M SAYING TO
RACHEL McADAMS-- WE'RE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE, WALKING AROUND
MY DECEASED FATHER'S HOUSE.
AND I SAY TO HER BASICALLY, "DO YOU THINK I SHOULD STAY FOR THE
FUNERAL OR SHOULD I JUST GO BACK EARLY?
NOBODY WANTS ME HERE."
AND THEN YOU'LL SEE.
>> NO, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE AT ALL.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OH, RA, IN IT.
>> ESTI.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THAT'S A VERY
TENDER SCENE.
THATHAT'S A VERY TENDER SCENE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK SO FAR, A LOT OF BUZZ AROUND THE
FILM ABOUT THE LOVE SCENE BETWEEN AND YOU RACHEL
McADAMS, THE TWO CHARACTERS IN THIS.
AS A PERFORMER, YOU'RE GIVING A NUANCED, DEEP PERFORMANCE OVER
THE ARC OF AN ENTIRE FILM.
DOES IT EVER BOTHER YOU THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE
SEX SCENE BETWEEN THE TWO WOMEN IN THE FILM?
>> IN THIS INSTANCE, NO, BECAUSE THE WHOLE FILM IS ABOUT THE
REPRESSION OF LOVE AND DESIRE AND AS I MENTIONED, A COMMUNITY
WHERE ESTI'S CHARACTER-- SHE'S GAY.
SHE CAN'T EXPRESS OR LOVE WHO SHE WANTS TO LOVE.
SO I THINK AS AN ACTRESS YOU OFTEN-- MAYBE ACTORS DO THIS,
TOO, I DON'T KNOW-- GO, IS THIS SEX SCENE REALLY NECESSARY FOR
THE STORY?
IF YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, NEARLY NINE TIMES OUT OF 10 NO IT'S NOT
NECESSARY.
THE MOVIE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY FINE WITHOUT IT.
BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, FOR ME, THE LOVE SCENE IS KIND OF THE
HEART AND SOUL OF THE MOVIE.
AND IT'S ABOUT DESIRE AND SPIRIT AND BECOMING WHO YOU REALLY ARE
AND LOVING WHO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOVE.
AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT ALL YOU LIKE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WELL, I-- I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL AFTER I'VE SEEN
IT.
>> OKAY.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE ALSO THE PRODUCER OF THE FILM.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SO DOES THE PRODUCER AND YOU HAVE TO TALK TO
THE ACTOR AND YOU AND SAY, "NO, THIS IS NECESSARY TO THE FILM?"
>> REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
I THINK BY THE TIME -- >> Stephen: THANK YOU.
>> BY THE TIME WE'D STARTED FILMING, MY PRODUCER SELF HAD
CHECKED OUT AND I'M JUST ACT RELS THEN.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN REALLY?
CAN YOU REALLY TAKE THAT HAT OFF.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO DO.
I AM ONE OF THE PRODUCERS ON THIS SHOW.
AND THIS GUY WILL TELL YOU-- AND IT'S A SMALL THING-- BUT FIVE
MINUTES BEFORE GOING ON THE STAGE I HAVE TO TAKE MY PRODUCER
HAT OFF.
CAN YOU REALLY TAKE THAT OFF WHEN YOU'RE ACTING.
DID IT EVER CREEP BACK IN?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: "WE'RE GOING INTO OVERTIME RIGHT NOW?
WHAT'S THE DIRECTOR THINKING?" >> NO, NO, I SURRENDERED MY
TRUST COMPLETELY TO SEBASTIAN LEILO.
HE JUST WON THE OSCAR FOR "FANTASTIC WOMAN," WHICH IS A
FANTASTIC FILM.
NO, COMPLETELY SURRENDER.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO GO IN JUST A SECOND.
YOU SAID IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE DISOBEDIENT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
>> WELL, I THINK KIND OF THE RIGHT KIND OF DISOBEDIENCE AT
THE RIGHT TIME IS IS ESSENTIAL T BE A FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING.
>> Stephen: WILL YOU FEEL THAT WAY WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE
DISOBEYING YOU?
>> IF-- IF THEY DO IT WITH THE RIGHT SPIRIT, YEAH.
I'M ALL FAIR BIT OF REBELLION.
YEAR, I DON'T MIND.
>> Stephen: KIDS, PLAY THIS TAPE BACK.
SO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> STEPHEN: "DISOBEDIENCE" IS IN THEATERS TOMORROW.
RACHEL WEISZ, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH "THE HANDMAID'S TALE'S" ANN DOWD.
STICK AROUND.
