♪ ♪ ♪</i> <i>( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).</i> >> THAT'S A NICE AUDIENCE. >> Stephen: THEY ARE A LOVELY
AUDIENCE. >> NOT LIKE SOME OF THOSE OTHER
PLACE S. >> Stephen: OH, NO, NO, THIS

HERE. IT'S LOVELY TO MEET YOU. >> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER )
BUT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR,</i> 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:<i>
( APPLAUSE )</i> >> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY.</i> >> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER )
ANTHONY HOPKINS, OF COURSE, IS</i> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER )
AND THEY HAD THESE-- THIS GLASS</i> 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!"<i>
( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> Stephen: WHY DID YOU SCARE
HIM? DO YOU WANT? >> I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT SURE. 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..." <i>( LAUGHTER )
SO YOU'VE BEEN MAKING MOVIES FOR</i> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER ).</i> >> 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." <i>( LAUGHTER )
THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO</i> 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. <i>( LAUGHTER )
I REALLY LOVE THE CHEESEHEADS.</i> 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--<i>
( APPLAUSE ).</i> >> 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." <i>( APPLAUSE )
WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK</i> BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
MORE JODIE FOSTER. STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY.
