>> OH, MY GOSH, SO MUCH FUN.
I'M A BIG FAN.
I WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS AS WELL.
>> MOSTLY ON MY PHONE.
I WATCH MOST OF IT ON MY FON.
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO THESE DAYS.
>> Stephen: I LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT'S SMALLER AND LOOKS
LIKE I LOST WEIGHT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE-- I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU IN THE PUBLIC
EYE SINCE-- YOU WERE THE COPPERTONE BABY?
>> I WAS AT THREE.
>> Stephen: AT THREE YEARS OLD.
>> I WAS.
WELL, I JUST DID THE COMMERCIAL IN THE 60s AND THERE-- YOU
KNOW, THE ADVERTISEMENT WITH THE LITTLE GIRL-- I'M NOT A
BILLBOARD.
JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
>> I'M JUST THE TELEVISION BABY.
>> Stephen: JUST THE TELEVISION BABY.
OKAY, WELL, COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR,
YOU KNOW, IN VARIOUS FORMS ON VARIOUS MEDIA FOR 50 YEARS.
THE MOVIE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW YOU FROM, BEST GOT TO KNOW
YOU WAS "SILENCE OF THE LAMBS" WHICH WAS MADE IN 1991.
>> YUP.
>> Stephen:
>> Stephen: WHEN IS THE LAST YOU WATCHED THAT MOVIE?
>> AH, I GUESS IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
MY SONS HADN'T SEEN IT.
THEY WERE HAVING SOME KIND OF CELEBRATION, AND THEY-- THEY HAD
A 35-MILLIMETER PRINT IN A BEAUTIFUL OLD THEATER SO WE ALL
SAW IT IN THE REAL THEATER.
>> Stephen: HAD THEY NOT SEEN IT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT THEM
TO SEE THIS MOVIE OR THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE?
>> THEY WERE TOO YOUNG.
MY OLDER ONE, I THINK, HAD SNUCK IN, WAS ABLE TO SEE IT, BUT MY
LITTLE ONE -- >> Stephen: BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY SCARY.
>> I GUESS IT IS.
I GUESS SO.
( LAUGHTER ) THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> I DON'T SEE IT.
BUT, YES.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T SEE THE SCARY PART.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: AT NO POINT.
BECAUSE OF JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE IN IT AND YOU SAW HOW IT WAS
MADE AND YOU WERE LIKE, "NO, I GET HIM IN THE END."
>> YEAH, IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET HIM IN THE END AND
WE ALL THINK IT'S SCARY, RIGHT?
>> IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE'S LESS VIOLENCE AND BLOOD
AND ALL THAT OTHER KIND OF STUFF THAN YOU SEE NORMALLY THESE DAYS
BUT IT GETS YOU.
>> Stephen: HANNIBAL LECTER DOES CUT A MAN'S FACE OFF AND
WEAR IT AS HIS OWN FACE.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY DISNEY.
( LAUGHTER ) ANTHONY HOPKINS, OF COURSE, IS
HANNIBAL LECTER, A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE.
WAS HE-- WAS HE INTIMIDATING ON SET?
WAS HE, LIKE, KIND OF METHOD, ALWAYS SORT OF IN HIS CREEPY
CHARACTER?
>> WELL, HE SCARED ME TO DEATH MOSTLY BECAUSE HE-- I-- I DID
THE FIRST PART MOVIE WITHOUT HIM THERE.
SO I HAD NEVER REALLY MET HIM.
I HAD ONLY MET HIM AROUND A TABLE AND WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO
TALK AND HAVING HEARD HIM DO A REHEARSAL, I JUST NEVER WANTED
TO TALK TO HIM AGAIN.
( LAUGHTER ) AND THEY HAD THESE-- THIS GLASS
PARTITION BETWEEN LECTER AND CLARICE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> SO THEY HAD TO SCREW HIM IN TO HIS CELL BLOCK ON THE VERY
FIRST DAY, SO I NEVER GOT TO TALK TO HIM.
AND WE DID THE VERY FIRST SCENE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TO
EACH OTHER, AND HE REALLY SCARED ME AGAIN.
SO THEN I WAS JUST WAS LIKE-- WE NEVER SPOKE TO EACH OTHER DURING
THE SHOOT, REALLY.
>> Stephen: AND WHEN YOU SEE HIM NOW?
>> WELL, THE LAST DAY OF SHOOTING, I WAS EATING A TUNA
FISH SANDWICH-- WHICH IS THE PART I REMEMBER-- AND HE SAID
EYE SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU SCARED ME."
AND HE SAID, "YOU SCARED ME!"
>> Stephen: WHY DID YOU SCARE HIM?
DO YOU WANT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I'M NOT SURE.
MAYBE THAT'S A LITTLE TELLING OF ANTHONY HOPKIN S.
>> Stephen: HE MAY BE AFRAID OF WEST VIRGINIA ACCENTS.
>> Stephen: AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN THE SOUTH, THAT
ACCENT IS SPOT ON.
>> IS IT.
>> Stephen: IT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN KUDOS FOR THAT, RIGHT?
>> I GUESS SO.
CHARACTER IS A FULL THING-- IT'S THE LITTLE SWEATER, BIG HAIR.
>> Stephen: I HAVE TO WRITE THAT DOWN, "LITTLE SWEATER..."
( LAUGHTER ) SO YOU'VE BEEN MAKING MOVIES FOR
OVER 50 YEARS.
DO MOVIES STILL WOW YOU?
YOU'RE A DIRECTOR YOURSELF NOW.
YOU'VE BEEN AN ACTOR FOR MANY YEARS OR DO YOU LOOK AT THE
MOVIE AND GO, "I KNOW HOW THEY MADE THAT."
>> NO, I'M ESPECIALLY WOWED BY ACTORS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT.
EVERY TIME I DO A MOVIE AS A DIRECTOR AND MY ACTORS COME
FORWARD AND THEY JUST BRING SO MUCH TO THE TABLE.
I'M ALWAYS JUST-- I'M IN AWE OF WHAT THEY DO, AND THEN I FORGET
THAT I DO THAT, TOO.
>> Stephen: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT, BECAUSE I HAD A CHANCE
TO MEET ANTHONY HOPKINS IN LOS ANGELES THIS FALL FOR JUST A
MOMENT.
WE TALKED FOR MAYBE 10 MINUTES.
AND I IMMEDIATELY ASKED HIM ABOUT HOW HE START OFFSIDE.
AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT DOING "THE LION IN WINTER" WHICH WAS HIS
FIRST MOVIE WITH PETER O'TOOLE AND KATHARINE HEPBURN.
AND THE VERY FIRST SCENE, KATHARINE HEPBURN SAID, "DO YOU
WANT ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO ACT?" AND SHE GAVE HIM ADVICE ABOUT
HOW TO WORK ON CAMERA.
DO YOU DO THAT?
DO YOU WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN ON CAMERA BEFORE AND
SAY, "THIS IS HOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT."
>> I WORK WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON
CAMERA.
I NEVER WENT TO JUILLIARD.
I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANY CREDENTIALS AS AN ACTRESS.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: ONLY WORK.
>> YEAH!
THAT'S IT.
I SORT OF LEARNED ON THE JOB.
AND I HAVE MY OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS.
AND I-- YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES MY ADVICE IS LIKE, "YOU KNOW, MAKE
SURE YOU SIT DOWN BECAUSE IF YOU STAND UP FOR TOO LONG, YOUR FEET
ARE GOING TO HURT."
( LAUGHTER ) THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO
CONTRIBUTE.
>> Stephen: "WELCOME TO MY MASTER CLASS."
>> PRETTY MUCH.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A PRIVATE PERSON, WHICH IS A GOOD THING,
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN THE PB EYE TO KEEP YOUR PERSON LIFE
PRIVATE.
BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND ME GETTING A LITTLE PEEK IN THERE.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
WHAT'S JODIE FOSTER DOING FOR FUN?
>> WHAT DO I DO FOR FUN?
I REALLY LIKE FOOTBALL.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> WHICH IS STRANGE.
I'M ALMOST EMBARRASS.
>> Stephen: WHAT POSITION DO YOU PLAY?
>> AH.
I TRY NOT TO PLAY.
I DO-- YOU KNOW, I HAVE A BUNCH OF NERF BALL THEY SAY THROW
AROUND.
>> Stephen: WHO IS YOUR TEAM?
>> GREEN BAY.
NOT HAVING A GREAT YEAR.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TO GREEN BAY?
>> I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE TOO PERSONALLY, ACTUALLY.
( LAUGHTER ) I REALLY LOVE THE CHEESEHEADS.
I LIKE TO WEAR THOSE.
>> Stephen: SURE, WHO DOESN'T?
>> AND, YOU KNOW, I LIKE FANTASY.
I LIKE THE FANTASY.
I LIKE ALL THE ALERTS IN MY POCKET, I LIKE STRATEGIZING.
>> Stephen: DO YOU PLAY FANTASY FOOTBALL?
>> YES.
I DIDN'T PLAY THIS YEAR.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN POLITICS AND THERE ARE ONLY SO
MANY ANXIETIES AND EMERGENCIES I CAN HANDLE.
SO I WAS DEDICATING MYSELF TO--
>> Stephen: AND FOOTBALL WAS YOUR WAY AWAY FROM THAT.
>> YEAH, SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE THIS-- THIS YEAR FOOTBALL
IS SECOND AND, YOU KNOW, TRUMP-LANDIA IS FIRST.
>> Stephen: YOU WENT TO A SCHOOL WHERE YOU HAD TO LEARN
FRENCH WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, DIDN'T YOU?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WAS THAT SACRED HEART.
>> IT WAS IN LOS ANGELES.
>> Stephen: THAT'S FANCY.
DO YOU KEEP IT UP?
>> I DO.
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO LIVE THERE, AND MY NIECES AND 97 USE LIVE
THERE, SO I SPEAK FRENCH WITH THEM.
I MEAN, THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO IN LOS ANGELES SPEAKING
FRENCH UNLESS YOU RUN INTO FRENCH PEOPLE.
MAYBE WHEN I'M PLAYING FOOTBALL ALL BY MYSELF I
( SPEAKING FRENCH ).
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SEEN TRANSLATIONS OF YOUR MOVIES INTO
FRENCH AND GONE, "THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S LIKE AT ALL?
>> I ACTUALLY DUBBED MY MOVIES IN FRENCH MOST OF MY LIFE.
>> Stephen: YOU DO YOUR OWN HOW DO YOU SAY-- "SILENCE OF THE
LAMS" IN FRENCH?" ( SPEAKING FRENCH ).
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT AS SCARY.
SOUND LIKE A DELICIOUS DISH.
"TONIGHT, WE HAVE THE SILENCE OF THE LAMS.
THE LAMB IS VERY QUIET BECAUSE IT IS DEAD.
BUT SO DELICIOUS."
( APPLAUSE ) WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK
BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE JODIE FOSTER.
STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY.
