-I want to talk about the play "Mother of the Maid."
Last time I saw you, you were like, "I might do this play.
But it's so much work."
And you were looking forward to it.
But now you're in it.
-In it. Yes, we're in it.
-How do you like The Public Theater?
Is it fun over there? -I love it.
I love The Public. Has a great culture.
It's very young. It's very energetic.
It's a lot of diversity, a lot of new talent.
-Don't you have to share a greenroom?
-We share a greenroom with two other shows.
-How kind of fun is that? -It's really fun.
And I share my dressing room with my co-ladies.
-Do you really?
-Yeah, there are four of us in our dressing room.
-And you all just -- you all just make it work?
-Oh, yeah. It's really fun. -Do you have jobs or anything?
-And I have my dog, who's always there.
And he's now the emotional-support dog
for about 50 people in the theater.
-He's so cute. I love him. -I know.
-But everyone gets assigned different things.
Are you -- Someone's the -- the cookie person.
-I'm the -- Yes.
Well, I-I decided that I'd --
My co-star -- One of my co-stars is Irish.
And I know a place to get his favorite tea.
So I set up a tea table for Dermot Crowley.
-See, come on. I mean, how nice are you?
-And then I thought, I'll bring, you know,
the McVitie's dipping, wonderful...
Those biscuits or whatever. -...biscuits. Oh, my God.
So I have biscuits and Oreos, which is my downfall.
-Come on, no.
[ Cheers and applause ] No, see, that's good.
That's mine, too. -And Vienna Fingers.
You know Vienna ladyfingers?
-Okay, oh. -Oh, my God. They're so good.
-I was thinking you meant the Vienna sausages.
I go, "Well, that's interesting. Someone could have that."
Maybe in Ireland they do that. I don't know.
-Yeah, we do that. And it's really fun.
And tequila every now and then.
[ Laughter ]
-We wanted to make sure you had enough cookies for the cast.
So we got you -- Oh, these are Milk Bar cookies.
-Oh, my gosh!
-This is Christina Tosi.
It's the best cookies in the world.
In the world. -They're going to go crazy.
-And that's -- that's love from us to you.
-It's us and "Wild Goose Dreams."
We share with "Wild Goose Dreams."
-You have to carry this all the way --
all the way from here to the theater.
Yeah, of course. No, I'm just kidding.
Of course not. -That's really sweet.
-Oh, please, pal. -Thank you.
-Come on. Actually, it really is sweet.
[ Laughter ]
I heard something or I read about something in the paper
where something went wrong at the play
or something was happening.
-Yes, yes. This is funny.
-You know what I'm talking about?
-Yeah. It was -- It was at a matinee.
And I started my -- this monologue.
And I heard this [Imitates whirring]
-Yeah. [ Knocking ]
Ooh.
-And it was coming from upstairs.
And, you know, you have that little voice.
I'm sure you have it. You know, "I'm not too funny.
That joke didn't work. So maybe I'll try the next one."
-Yeah, of course. Yeah, that one didn't work.
-So you have this little voice.
-You've seen the monologue. [ Laughter ]
-And this is all while you're saying your lines.
My little voice inside, "Oh, my God.
That's really distracting. Is it going to stop?
Oh, there it goes again.
No, I don't think it's going to stop.
I wonder if this is distracting...
-[ Imitates whirring ]
-...to the audience." [ Imitates whirring ]
I don't know. I can barely remember my lines.
And I finally stopped and said,
"Is this as distracting to you as it is to me?"
And they all went, "Yes!"
-What was it?
-It was -- They -- They were mending something on the roof.
And they didn't think, obviously,
that they would be able to hear it in our theater.
But then it ended up being really great,
because for about 17 minutes, I'm just saying --
I thought, you know, "Let me pretend to be Jimmy Fallon."
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I said, "Where you all come from?"
And there's some lady from Tasmania.
And, you know -- -Really?
-And then they asked me questions.
And Grace Van Patten, who plays Joan of Arc in our play,
she was sitting on this little stool, which she's --
in the beginning of our show.
And she looked up at me at one point.
And she said, "This is really weird."
[ Laughter ]
-No one's ever gonna get to see
this type of performance ever again.
-There we were in our 15th-century peasant costumes.
And then you've got to go --
You have to snap back into the play.
-Back into character. -Yeah.
-Oh, gosh. Fantastic. -It was really fun.
-Now, this is -- the writer of this play,
was that the writer of --
-Jane Anderson also wrote "The Wife."
-Congrats on this play.
But also, I've got to say, on "The Wife" --
And I want to say I'm your good-luck charm,
because last time you were here,
we were talking about "The Wife."
And I was like, "I'm telling you.
There's going to be awards buzz around this.
I'm just saying." And it just kept getting bigger.
And the buzz gets bigger,
and now it's like [Imitates whirring]
And good for you. Well-deserved.
Well-deserved noise for you.
-Oh, man.
-You're nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.
-Yes, for the first time. -It's your first time?
How fun is that? -I just think it's so cool.
'Cause you -- 'Cause they're on a tent on the beach.
-Yeah. -You know?
-It is, yeah.
-And I'm hoping I can wear blue jeans.
-Yes, you can. You can go barefoot.
-On the red carpet, you can wear anything.
You're off to the Gotham Awards tonight, as well.
I mean, it's just all -- And it's so well-deserved.
I love the movie because --
Well, I -- to set it up, I'll do the job, if you don't mind.
-Oh, thank you. -You're probably like,
"Dude, I've talked about it so many times."
I'll do it.
Basically, your husband
is getting the Nobel Prize in Literature.
-Yes. -And you're off to...
-Stockholm. -...Stockholm.
What you realize as you go through it
is that he's getting all these accolades.
And you realize that you're the one actually doing the writing.
And the secret's the woman behind the man.
And I couldn't -- -Spoiler alert.
-Well, now I can say it.
Because last time it was just coming out.
Now I can talk about it.
And it really is the truth.
The secret to a lot of men's success
is the woman behind the man.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's true with me, definitely.
My wife is watching. It's definitely true with me.
But, man, oh, man.
And you just go, "Okay. All right."
And then he's getting all these things.
And then he's, like, having an affair.
You go, "Dude, enough is enough."
And I go -- And it boils.
And it comes to the Glenn Close moment where you go, "Come on.
Let's go." I mean, it's great.
And it just pays off.
But then it's also just beautiful at the end.
-Yep. I had a wonderful director, Bjorn Runge.
But also, Jonathan Pryce, who plays my husband,
is a great, great actor. -To go off with.
-And, you know, you have to be brave to be an actor
in a movie called "The Wife."
-Yeah.
-'Cause we all have egos, right?
So --
-But, man, you guys spar.
And it's just beautiful to watch you guys work.
Congrats on everything.
