00:00this is what made me fall in love with your character the first words out of your mouth
00:04who the fuck asked you about some old lady in ahop i was like yeah that's that's the lawyer
00:09that's the lawyer i want yeah i get tough i get stuck with that tough woman don't i
00:17i'm not complaining but i really enjoyed uh the absolute this woman is just like made of iron
00:26you know yes character and we're all used to that for me but i mean there there's a beautiful
00:32character in there not just a woman made of iron but a woman who's capable and competent and speaks
00:38in paragraphs she's a piece in paragraphs um so that was a real test of like do i still
00:47have the capacity to memorize at my age but but she no she she's really just
00:55absolutely a fantastic woman and i loved the story and i loved the script and i thought well
01:02this is rather audacious to try to make a dark comedy about anna nicole it's like if you say
01:08to people yeah i'm making a comedy about anna nicole smith's death it's like
01:14not a lot of people you know really kind of understand that immediately but um but i i
01:22thought it was audacious enough to try to be in your learning of her do you think that her path
01:28was straight and narrow or did she been a little well she's a defense lawyer for god's sake think
01:34about how those people have to bend think of the people that they represent you know some guilty some
01:40not guilty but still um one has to shove all of those opinions aside the matter of of of him
01:50me feeling
01:51that he's guilty or not is absolutely inapplicable to her life she does a big job to do but i
01:59did like
02:00the fact that they made room for her to have a relationship with him and have some belief in him
02:10that uh really messed with her head at some point because she thinks that he's actually lying to her
02:17right right it's really interesting to have those moments and say ah so this is how a defense attorney
02:25deals with not with everybody but this one situation and you know that there's no room for
02:32her feelings in it but there are still feelings right so i thought it was interesting and yes
02:40definitely in terms of staging um everything that she could to get a better so that the public would
02:48have a better image of him you know that's done all the time true and i will say that was
02:54the plus that
02:55i loved yeah this interview so that um even though he didn't want to and but just to so that
03:02the public
03:02could see a different side of him and it was an interesting study on you know what has to happen
03:10to
03:10to place a man that most of the world by the way i'm sure felt was very guilty and participating
03:17in
03:18her death um because he was the prescriber do you know but true in such a situation and i i
03:27just liked that
03:28that we could untangle it and then show the the you know the showman the the that's what this woman
03:35does she makes sure he's wearing the right suit and that he's not saying the wrong thing and that you
03:40that he's not saying the wrong thing and that he's not saying the wrong thing and that he's not saying
