00:00 So my film career has been spotty at best.

00:05 (laughter)

00:07 How's yours?

00:08 How dare you?

00:09 (laughter)

00:13 The highlight of this spotty film career was

00:15 when I got a call saying I had been cast

00:18 in a three-line part in the movie "There Will Be Blood"

00:22 opposite Daniel Day-Lewis.

00:24 (cheers and applause)

00:25 Sure.

00:27 Absolutely.

00:29 Everyone loves shoes.

00:31 (laughter)

00:34 I have matured sufficiently in the intervening years

00:38 that I am more excited than terrified to do this.

00:41 A little bit terrified.

00:43 Mostly excited.

00:45 So I get there, and I meet everybody,

00:49 and get a wardrobe and all this stuff.

00:51 It's very exciting, you know.

00:53 And so I get to the set, and there's Daniel Day-Lewis,

00:56 and he's sitting in a chair.

00:58 Now, I had heard that he was a little bit intense, right?

01:01 But he's not really.

01:03 He's really the most intense person that has ever lived

01:07 on Earth.

01:09 (laughter)

01:11 All he is doing is sitting in a chair,

01:14 and I am terrified of him!

01:17 (laughter)

01:20 It is like a jungle cat has wandered onto the set,

01:23 like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

01:25 "Uh, what do you do?

01:27 "Uh, are you supposed to move around a lot

01:29 or stay perfectly still?

01:31 "What are the rules of Daniel Day-Lewis?"

01:33 (laughter)
