CAR, EVERYTHING IS BET ARER IN YOUR CAR, WHEN I WAS A KID WE
HAD A STATION WAGON. BUT MY MOM USED TO PUT US IN THE
TRUNK, AT LEAST THREE OF US IN THE TRUNK AND ONLY PAY FOR
WHOEVER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT. >> James: THAT IS SO SMART. >> BECAUSE IN THE DRIVEIN YOU
HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYBODY. AND THEN SHE DIDN'T WANT US
BUGGING HER DURING THE MOVIE SO SHE WOULD PUT US ON THE TOP OF
THE CAR WHERE THE LUGGAGE RACKS ARE, AND SLEEPING BAGS AND WE
WOULD BE UP THERE, BUT YOU COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING BECAUSE
THE-- THE SPEAKER WAS FOR MY MOM. >> James: IN THE CAR. >> SO WE WHAT JUST WATCH, SAW
THESE MOVIES AND HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. >> James: YOU JUST THOUGHT
THAT LOADS OF FILMS WERE SILENT MOVIES AT THAT POINT. >> YEAH, WE WOULD GET OFF TRACK,

TALKING ABOUT, DO THAT, HAVE A GOOD CRY, LEAVE NO ONE SEES YOU. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> James: NOW MY KIDS, ABOUT
AS YOUNG AS YOURS, YOU HAVE JUST GONE THROUGH SOMETHING WHICH I
DREAD DAILY, YOUR TWO SONS HAVE BOTH GONE AWAY TO COLLEGE RIGHT
NOW. >> THEY HAVE. >> James: HOW HAS IT BEEN? WHAT IS IT LIKE IN YOUR HOUSE
AND WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE NEST. >> IT IS A LOT CLEANER AND IT
SMELLS BETTER, I TELL YOU THAT. >> James: RIGHT. >> THE EMPTY, NOW IT IS THE
EMPTY NEST, LIKE THE EMPTY KID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT,-- CESSPOOL,
INFECTION T IS SAD, I MISS THEM, I TRY TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH
THEM BUT I DON'T WANT TO BUG THEM. SO I HAVE THIS WHOLE RUSE WHERE
I SEND A LITTLE MESSAGE THAT SAYS HEY, DO YOU HAVE TIME TO
FACETIME, I NEED TO HE SHOW YOU SOMETHING. AND THEN I COME UP WITH ONE
LITTLE THING I HAVE TO TELL THEM. AND THEN I MAKE SURE, I SORT OF
SET AN EGG TIMER THAT I GET OFF THE PHONE QUICK ENOUGH BECAUSE
MY MOM USED TO SIT ON THE PHONE WITH ME AND KEEP GOING AND GOING
AND GOING AND I REMEMBER. I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT GUY. >> James: NO ONE DOES. >> IN ONE DOES I KEEP GOING,
OKAY I'VE GOT IT. >> AND OTHER THING, THAT IS WHEN
IT IS THE WORST. >> ST ALWAYS WHO DIED, THAT IS
WHAT PARENTS DO. >> James: MY DAD DOES THAT ALL
THE TIME. ABOUT ANYONE, I WILL MENTION
SOMEONE AND WILL GO DEAD NOW. NOW JODIE, WE ARE ALL, I HAVE TO
TILL, NOT JUST BECAUSE ARE YOU HERE IN PERSON, YOU HAVE CAUSED
QUITE THE BUZZ. >> IS THAT RIGHT. >> James: EVERYONE HERE. >> WHY IS THAT. >> James: I WOULD SAY THE
REASON WE ARE SO EXCITED, WHEN I LOOK AT YOUR CAREER, I REALLY
CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER CAREER LIKE IT, IT IS SO EXTRAORDINARY,
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AS AN ACTOR, YOUR DIRECTING CAREER, YOUR WORK
IS INCREDIBLE. BUT THEN I READ THAT YOU, YOU
HAVE CONSIDERED QUITTING MULTIPLE TIMES. >> LIKE EVERY MONTH, YEAH, I
THINK ABOUT IT. >> James: REALLY? >> UH-HUH, DON'T YOU, DON'T YOU
THINK ABOUT WHO YOU MIGHT BE, WHAT OTHER JOB. HAVE I BEEN DOING THIS FOR 55
YEARS THARK IS A PRETTY LONG TIME, SO OCCASIONALLY I HAVE
THESE LITTLE FANTASIES ABOUT WHAT I MIGHT DO. >> James: LIKE WHAT, WHAT
WOULD YOU DO? >> I WOULD WANT TO DO SOMETHING
THAT IS REALLY CUT AND DRY, YOU KNOW, LIKE BE A BARISTA OR
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT IS JUST LIKE-- . >> James: THAT'S IT. >> FOAM OR NOT FOAM, NOTHING IN
BETWEEN, NO LIKE WELL, IT COULD BE BUT KIND OF LIKEK AND SORT OF
LIKE THIS, AND NOT EXACTLY THAT WAY, NONE OF THE GRAY AREA. >> James: FOSTER'S FOAM CAFE. >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. >> James: HONESTLY, I THINK IT
WOULD WORK. >> OKAY. >> James: IN A SHOP, I COULD
SEE YOU DOING IT MOBILE. >> YOU KNOW, I COULD COME TO THE
DRIVE-INS AND FEED THE KIDS. KIDS ON THE ROOF. >> James: THAT IS A DRIVE-IN I
WOULD HAPPILY GO TO, BUT I'M SO THRILLED THAT YOU HAVEN'T
STOPPED ON YOUR KA RATHER AND CONTINUE TO DO EXTRAORDINARY
WORK, AND YOUR NEW FILM, FALLS UNDER THAT CATEGORY, THE
MAURITANIAN, FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN IT OR FOE ABOUT IT,
EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY. >> WELL TRK IS THE TRUE STORY
OF-- WHO WAS ABDUCTED FROM HIS HOME IN MAWR-- MAURITANIAN,
PICKED UP BY A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AND THE AMERICANS
TOOK HIM TO CUBA, DETAINED THERE FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS WITHOUT EVER
CHARGING HIM. HE WENT THROUGH TORTURE, ALL
KINDS OF TORTURE, AND HE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN BEING, IS HE
FUNNY. IS HE AFFECTIONATE AND LOVING
AND JOYFUL, AN AMAZING GUY, I PLAY HIS ATTORNEY, THE REAL
NANCY HOLLANDER WHO IS A HEROIC INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY
WHO DEFENDS A LOT OF GILLEE PEOPLE BUT IN THIS CASE SHE
REALLY GREW AN CHANGED AND REALLY LOVED MOHAMMED, HE WAS
LIKE A SON TO HER. THAT IS THE STORY. >> James: AND I HAVE TO
MENTION TAHAR RAHIM WHO IS EXTRAORDINARY IN THIS FILM, AND
THE TWO OF YOU ARE BOTH NOMINATED FOR THE GOLDEN GLOBES
ON SUNDAY. THE FIRST TIME YOU WON A GOLDEN
GLOBE WAS A THREE WAY TIE BETWEEN YOU, SIGOURNEY WEAVER
AND SHIRLEY MacLEAN. >> THAT'S TRUE. >> James: WHAT WAS THAT LIKE. >> IT WAS GOOD BECAUSE SHIRLEY
MacLEAN DIDN'T SHOW UP, SO IT WAS REALLY ONLY TWO OF US. >> James: RIGHT. >> THE BEST THING WAS WE STOPPED
MERYL STREEP, THE THREE OF US, THAT. >> James: THAT IS WHAT IT
TAKES. >> IT TOOK THREE OF US TO TAKE
HER DOWN BUT WE GOT HER, YOU KNOW. >> James: AND THANK GOD YOU
DID. >> THANK GOD. >> James: BECAUSE SHE IS THE
WORST. >> THE WORST! >> James: IT IS THE ONLY
THING, THE ONLY THING TRUMP EVER GOT RIGHT. >> THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID. >> James: AND I WILL TELL HER
THAT TO HER FACE, YOU KNOW. >> I MEAN SHE, SHE HAS HAD SOME
GEMS OVER THE YEARS, WELL, YOU WILL KNOW, I WILL PASS ON THE
GEM THAT I GOT FROM MERYL STREEP, FROM THE GREAT MERYL
STREEP, FOR SUNDAY WHICH IS THAT PRETTY SURE ARE YOU GOING TO
LOSE AND YOU SHOULDN'T WEAR THE-- I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE
THAT. >> James: I WILL BE WEARING
SPANX. IT IS A DEEPLY HUMILIATING
EXPERIENCE IN MY HOUSE WHEN HAVE I TO TAKE THE SUIT OFF AND I LIE
DOWN AND MY WIFE ROLLS ME LIKE A SAUSAGE AND IT IS SORT OF MAKES
ITS WAY UP AND THEN IT JUST -- OFF THE HEAD, SHE LOOKS AT ME, I
APOLOGIZE, SHE ACCEPTS MY APOLOGY AND WE MOVE ON, AND THAT
IS REALLY HOW IT WORKS. >> YOU REALIZE IT IS ONLY FROM
THE WAIST UP THIS YEAR. >> James: IT IS, BUT THAT IS
THE WORST BIT. I WOULD BE HAPPY IF IT WAS FROM
THE KNEE DOWN, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> THE KNEE DOWN GLOBES, THE NEW
TREND. >> James: CONGRATULATIONS. >> O ON THE FILM. >> THANK YOU.
