Well you are not excited to meet me!
I am actually!
You are?
Thrilled!
Then you've heard Diane must've been talking about
me.
Your reputation precedes you.
Well that's true, we'll see.
What an amazing cast here is the way I view the world in
this movie your husband is Batman your mother-in-law is
Carol Burnett your daughter is best friend is QB #1 on
Friday night lights.
What an awesome cast.
We're really lucky, from all walks of the entertainment
business yes Would you work for so many people before I
can't help but think if I was you which I clearly am
not Know you are not That you're sitting there.
Nor am I you As jaded yes Person that you're not
sitting there going it's Carol Burnett.
Though I did It's Carol Burnett I did routinely had
to leave my body and and kind of looked down on the
situation and say what do I do in a past life to deserve
this?
Do you think she's aware that people Oh yeah!
Really?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, and she's really open and accessible
and she wears her iconic so well she's inviting and she
allows you to fawn over her and she.
She doesn't request it though?
No she doesn't requested and she's very humble oh my God
she's so wonderful people would come up to her on the
street when we're shooting on location and she would
end up hugging them and laughing with them it was
the highlight of everybody's life I'm sure.
But was there one thing you are dying to ask her and you
were how can I get around to do this?
Oh she was so open.
Really?
What sheet, I would ask her stories about the Carol
Burnett show which she loved telling them she would offer
them, she would say you know I was at a cocktail party
with Tim Conway one night.
And I would be like yea!
Okay back to set, just a minute!
Yeah right So what you have comedians even Michael
Keaton is a very funny guy in yourself and Carol,
was there a lot of how around on the set joking
around or?
Yeah well we didn't go out afterwards we are all very
tired after we finish a long day but it was great,
camaraderie between us it was great that we spanned so
many generations in different walks of life in
the industry it was very lovely but the first day we
shot the dim sum scene where we were having dim sum after
the graduation and that was the first time all of us
shot together and that was a really magical thing we all
kind of click into who we were in that family dynamic
it was there immediately that was really lovely.
In my mind I think that you guys go out to dinner every
night, you hang out.
No The real reason I'm so excited to be sitting here
right now is that I saw the pilot for glee.
Oh great.
And I have rarely been so excited about a TV show Oh
good Ryan Murphy He's the best They see as crazy as?
He's not crazy he's just really talented.
His mind works differently than other people's Yeah and
I just watched two episodes that Ryan directed and they
were amazing they were just amazing and we have other
great directors to we've got like 10 so far there are 12
total it's really good.
Is it like high energy on the set?
It's a lot of high energy and the actors the kids are
so good and they're not only great singers but they're
great actors and very can-do Matt Morrison a teacher
who plays will he’s so real and grounded in appealing
and attractive and you just love him.
