GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED ACTRESS WHO STARRED IN THE FAULT IN OUR
STARS AND THE DI VERGE ENT SERIES. PLEASE WELCOME SHAILENE WOODLEY. >>
♪ I CAN SEE ALL I WANT. ♪. >> HOW IS IT. >> Stephen: HOW IS IT? >> YEAH, HI. >> Stephen: HOW ARE YOU. >> I'M GOOD. >> Stephen: THAT IS A
BEAUTIFUL DRESS AND YOU HAVE RECENTLY BEEN MADE AN ADD MIRNL
I SEE, IT GIVES YOU A LITTLE AUTHORITY. >> THANK YOU, IT'S NOT MINE BUT
I AGREE, I THINK IT'S REALLY PRETTY. >> Stephen: THIS ISN'T MINE
EITHER. I WAS WARNED BEFORE I MET YOU
THAT YOU. >> WERE YOU WARNED. >> Stephen: I WAS WARNED THAT
YOU WERE A HUGGER. >> YES. >> Stephen: I WAS WARNED YOU
ARE A HUGGER AND I GOT A GREAT HUG FROM YOU. >> I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT, THANKS
FOR HUGGING ME BACK. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WEIRD IF
YOU HADN'T HUGGED ME BACK. I JUST HUG YOU AND YOU JUST
STAND THERE. >> Stephen: WHERE IS THE
HUGGING COME FROM? IS IT VERY FULL AND LOVING HUG. >> I WAS ACTUALLY JUST TALKING
TO SOMEBODY BACK THEREMENT I FEEL LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY IN THIS
INDUSTRY YOU MEET SOMEONE FOR FIVE SECONDS AND THERE IS A
HANDSHAKE AND A HI HOW ARE YOU BUT NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU
HOW YOU ARE, GOOD, NOT DWOODZ, I FEEL LIKE WE DO THAT A LOT IN
LIFE ESPECIALLY WITH OUR PHONES AND TECHNOLOGY THERE IS NOT A
LOT OF REAL INTERACTIONS SO MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO
LIKE THAT OR MAYBE I JUST DON'T LIKE SHAKING SWUB'S HANDS
BECAUSE THEN YOUR HANDS GET ALL GRIMY. >> Stephen: UH-HUH. I REALLY WANT TO USE SOME PU
RELL RIGHT NOW. >> WE DIDN'T SHAKE HANDS. >> Stephen: DID YOU GROW UP IN
A HUGGING FAMILY. WAS IT ENCOURAGED AT HOME? >> NO, I MEAN-- KIDS, MAKE SURE
WHEN YOU GO TO SCHOOL TODAY THAT YOU HUG EVERYONE IN CLASS. NO --
>> Stephen: WE HAD TO HUG EACH OTHER. I'M ONE OF 11 I HAD CANS AND WE
HAD TO HUG EACH OTHER. WE COULDN'T FIGHT, WHEN TO END
EVERY FIGHT WITH A HUG. >> FIGHTING BOTH OF MY PARENTS
ARE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND MY BROTHER AND I, WE FOUGHT A LOT AS KIDS. OVER SILLY THINGS AND THERE WAS
THIS ONE TIME IN PARTICULAR MY DAD MADE MY BROTHER AND I SIT ON
OUR FRONT LAW. LAWN, I GREW UP IN SU BUR
BE-- SUBURBIA SO WE TBHEU EVERY NEIGHBOR. WE HAD TO SIT ON THE FRONT LAWN
FOR WHAT FELT LIKE FOUR HOURS T WAS PROBABLY 30 OR 40 MINUTES. >> Stephen: YOU HAD TO HUG
EACH OTHER. >> WE HAD TO HUG EACH OTHER. MY DAD WOULD COME OUT EVERY TEN
MINUTES. HAVE YOU WORKED IT OUT YET, YOU
HAVE SAID YOUR SORRY. MY RECOLLECTION IS MY BROTHER
AND I JUST AGREED TO SAY LET'S JUST TELL HIM THAT WE WORKED IT
OUT AND THEN WE CAN LEAVE. >> Stephen: WOW, DO YOU
RECOMMEND THAT KIND OF PARENTING? ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT WITH
YOUR KIDS. >> I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN I THINK IT'S KIND OF
HILARIOUS, RIGHT? LIKE WE MAKE OUR KIDS HUG EACH
OTHER. >> Stephen: MY FAMILY. >> I WOULD HAVE LAUGHED. >> Stephen: HUG AND KISS, ARE
YOU NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE SPOT WHERE THE FIGHT WAS
HAPPENING. >> UNTIL YOU HUGGED IT OUT AND
KISSED IT OUT. >> Stephen: HUG AND KISS, THAT
WAS IT, HAD TO. >> AND DID THAT JUST BECOME
ROUTINE AND WAS IT-- DID YOU ACTUALLY GET OVER IT. >> Stephen: WE LEARNED TO
PRETEND. >> EXACTLY. WE LEARNED TO PRETEND TO LOVE
EACH OTHER. >> HOW DOES THAT WORK OUT FOR
YOU. >> Stephen: FANTASTIC. WE STILL PRETEND TO LOVE EACH
OTHER. ACTUALLY WE LOVE EACH OTHER VERY
MUCH. ARE YOU VERY INTERESTED IN THE
ENVIRONMENT. I WANT TO SHOW THIS PHOTO. ARE YOU COOL WITH US SHOWING
THAT PHOTO. >> YOU CAN SHOW THAT. >> Stephen: I THOUGHT PERHAPS
AT FIRST YOU WERE AUDITIONING FOR ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. BUT THIS IS YOU ACTUALLY HAVING
BEEN ARRESTED AT THE STANDING ROCK PROTEST. >> YES. (APPLAUSE)
>> I WISH I HAD KNOWN. >> Stephen: GO A HEADS. >> I WISH I HAD KNOWN THAT THIS
WAS GOING TO BE AS PUBLIC AS IT WAS. I WOULD HAVE MADE LIKE A FACE. I FEEL LIKE I'M LOOKING AT THE
PERSON LIKE ARE YOU KID MING RIGHT NOW. >> Stephen: I THINK IS T IS A
FAIRLY GOOD FACE IF. I WAS ARRESTED AND PUT IN AN
ORANGE JUMP SUIT I WOULDN'T LOOK AS SERENE AS YOU DO. EXPLAIN, I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN
SEVERAL PROTESTS OUT IN THE NORTH OF THE AMERICAN PLAINS
OVER DEVELOPMENT ON TRIBAL LANDS. SPECIFICALLY E EXPLAIN STANDING
ROCK. >> STANDING ROCK HAS BEEN THE
TRIBE STANDING ROCK HAS BEEN OPPOSING THIS SINCE 2014 AND
LAST YEAR STARTING AROUND SEPTEMBER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
FLOODED TO THE RESERVATION TO PROTEST THIS PIPE-LINE AND WE
GOT THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS UNDER OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION TO
DENY THE EASEMENT SO THEY COULDN'T DRILL. AND AS WE HAVE ALL MAYBE HEARD
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, THERE HAS BEEN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM
TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION SAYING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GO AHEAD
WITH THE EASEMENT ANYWAYS AND START DRILLING. >> Stephen: SO DO THE PROTESTS
CONTINUE OR IS IT SORT OF-- FET APLOMB. >> THE PROTEST IS CONTINUING,
PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. BUT THE THING THAT I LIKE TO
SORT OF START TALKING ABOUT NOW IS THAT THE FRONT LINES DON'T
NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE IN NORTH DAKOTA. THE FRONT LINES CAN BE WHEREVER
YOU R YOU CAN CREATE A PROTEST IN NEW YORK CITY, YOU CAN CREATE
A PROTEST BECAUSE PROTESTS ARE ABOUT CREATING AWARENESS AND
ABOUT PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER. AND I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST
WAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DEFEAT THIS PIPELINE MORE SO THAN EVEN
PROTESTING ON THE FRONT LINES IF THAT'S NOT YOUR SPEED IS TO
DIVEST FROM THESE BIG BANKS THAT ARE INVESTED IN THE PIPELINE. AND THAT'S NOT JUST ABOUT BANKS
THAT ARE INVESTED IN THE PIPELINE, IT'S ABOUT BANKS THAT
ARE INVESTED IN THE, YOU KNOW, THE IMMIGRATION, ALL OF THESE
THINGS. SO THERE WILL BE A WEBSITE UP IN
THE NEXT FEW DAYS CALLED HOW TO DI VEST.ORG AND YOU SHOULD CHECK
IT OUT. >> Stephen: SO DID YOU
ACTUALLY GO TO THE OLD GRAY BAR HOTEL WERE YOU ACTUALLY THROWN
IN JAIL. >> I WAS, YEAH. >> Stephen: WAS IT ONE OF
THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU WENT INTO THE YARD AND PUNCHED THE BIG ES
PERSON YOU COULD SEE, WHAT WAS IT SHALL-- HOW LONG WERE YOU
THERE? >> I WAS ONLY-- I WAS LUCKY. MY MOM WAS ACTUALLY WITH ME IN
NORTH DAKOTA THAT DAY BY HAPPENS CHANCE. >> Stephen: MOM WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN NORTH DAKOTA. >> SHE WAS OUT THERE TO ACTUALLY
PARTICIPATE WITH THIS POW WOW IN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA. WE WERE UP THERE, I WAS FACED, I
GOT ARRESTED. I HANDED HER MY PHONE AND I WAS
LIKE KEEP RECORDING. AND THE LOOK ON HER FACE, SHE
WASN'T THERE SHE WAS SHOCKED. I CAN'T IMAGINE ACTUALLY WHAT IT
WOULD BE LIKE TO SEE YU DAUGHTER HANDCUFFED AND TAKEN AWAY. >> Stephen: DID AT ANY POINT
SHE SAY I WANT TO YOU HUG IT OUT WITH THE POLICE OFFICER, OKAY. WELL, NOW YOU ARE IN, IT IS A
MINI SERIES, A NEW SHOW ON HBO CALLED BIG LITTLE LIES WITH
REESE WITHERSPOON AND NICOLE KIDMAN, WERE YOU AT ALL
INTIMIDATED LIKE A FRESHMAN WITH THE SENIORS AROUND THE LUNCH
TABLE WITH THOSE TWO. >> I WASN'T INTIMIDATED. I WAS REALLY EXCITED. I WAS A LITTLE BIT AFRAID THAT I
WAS GOING TO BREAK INTO A MOULON ROUGE SONG BECAUSE I LOVE
MUSICALS AND I LOVE MOULIN ROUGE. >> Stephen: THAT WOULD MAKE
NICOLE KIDMAN UNCOMFORTABLE. >> MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE ME REALLY
UNCOMFORTABLE PROBABLY MORE THAN HER. BUT YOU KIND OF WANT TO KEEP
THOSE LINES BETWEEN ART AND REALITY SEPARATED A LITTLE BIT. BUT I WOULD FIND MYSELF SINGING
LIKE THE ELEPHANT LOVE SONG MEDLEY AND HAVE TO CHECK HER OUT
AND MAKE SURE NICOLE WASN'T THERE. >> Stephen: WELL, THE SHOW IS
ABOUT WOMEN IN WELL-HEELED CALIFORNIA TOWNS. AND ARE YOU NEW TO THE TOWN. I THINK WE HAVE A CLIP HERE. CAN YOU SET THIS UP, WHAT WE ARE
LOOKING AT HERE. >> SO MY CHARACTER DOES MOVE TO
MONTEREY CALIFORNIA AND FEELS OUT OF PLACE BEING A YOUNG
MOTHER MONGSZ SO MANY-- AMONGST SO MANY WELL ESTABLISHED MOTHERS
AND SHE EXPRESSES HER VULNERABILITY IN THIS CLIP ABOUT
WHAT IT IS LIKE. >> Stephen: JIM. >> IT'S LIKE I'M ON THE OUTSIDE,
LOOKING IN. OR LIKE YOU KNOW, LIKE I SEE
THIS LIFE AS A MOMENT AND IT'S SO WONDERFUL. BUT IT DOESN'T QUITE BELONG TO
ME. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? YEAH. ARE YOU FOLLOWING THIS? >> YEAH. >> I LOOK AT YOU AND YOU ARE SO
BEAUTIFUL, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT TOAM BAR RASS YOU AT ALL IT
IS TRUE, YOU ARE. AND SO ARE YOU. >> I AGREE. >> YOU GUYS ARE JUST RIGHT. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. AND FOR SOME REASON, THAT MAKES
ME FEEL WRONG, I GUESS. (APPLAUSE). >> Stephen: WELL, IT WAS
LOVELY IT TO MEET YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU. PU RELL. >> Stephen: PU RELL. >> OH MY GOSH, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
IT I DON'T WANT IT. (LAUGHTER). >> Stephen: BIG LITTLE LIES
PREMIERS SUNDAY ON HBO. SHAILENE WOODLEY, EVERYBODY. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH LAVERNE
COX.
