[Music]
00:00:09
andy it's good to see you again
00:00:11
thanks we've talked several times before
00:00:14
i didn't know what to expect really from
00:00:16
groundhog day
00:00:18
i i knew just a kind of little thing
00:00:21
about it but not much
00:00:23
and then as i began to find out about i
00:00:26
thought gee i don't know
00:00:28
i must tell you having seen it that i
00:00:30
like it a lot
00:00:32
i really enjoyed it tell me as as the
00:00:35
actress now
00:00:36
when you first read the script did you
00:00:39
immediately fall in love with
00:00:40
and see the possibilities or did you
00:00:42
have reservations
00:00:44
no i love the script right away but the
00:00:46
key component here is the fact that i
00:00:48
was going to get to work with bill
00:00:49
murray and that harold ramos was
00:00:51
directing and that sort of like made the
00:00:52
whole thing
00:00:54
i could see the whole thing was going to
00:00:55
be really great and really
00:00:57
lots of fun to do so what's the
00:00:59
combination of them
00:01:00
the whole thing did you know either of
00:01:03
them before
00:01:04
i had seen bill once and when i lived in
00:01:07
manhattan i used to go to this place to
00:01:09
work out
00:01:10
and i had seen him there working out
00:01:12
before it was kind of a
00:01:14
good sight to see bill murray working
00:01:18
out
00:01:18
it was pretty funny was he doing schtick
00:01:21
while he was working out well
00:01:23
sort of i mean he was just being bill
00:01:25
it's not like bill even has to do stick
00:01:26
it's not like he has to do anything he
00:01:28
was just being bill
00:01:29
he was pulling some weights down and
00:01:31
kind of looking around a little like
00:01:33
this you know and then he'd walk around
00:01:34
like he had just done something
00:01:36
terribly difficult and then maybe he
00:01:39
you know he's had somebody working with
00:01:40
him he was avoiding working out and kind
00:01:42
of wandering around the room and
00:01:44
checking people out
00:01:46
and and did you at that time meet him or
00:01:49
you just observed he came up to me and
00:01:50
made some comment to me about me looking
00:01:52
like a woman in labor
00:01:53
i was working out
00:01:57
i was working out on a one of those
00:02:00
bicycles and
00:02:02
perspiring quite a bit but he knew who
00:02:05
you were
00:02:06
i don't know he just knew this was maybe
00:02:09
six years ago he just knew a
00:02:13
chick on a bicycle sweating he thought
00:02:15
he might speak to you know i don't know
00:02:17
[Laughter]
00:02:19
when you started working with bill
00:02:21
murray was it a
00:02:23
kind of uh instant rapport or did you
00:02:25
have to kind of get to know one another
00:02:27
for a while
00:02:28
i liked him right off you have to ask
00:02:30
him how he felt about me i don't know
00:02:32
but i liked him right away it wasn't
00:02:34
anything i had to work at work for
00:02:36
and you felt comfortable and i felt
00:02:38
comfortable a little
00:02:41
there's something on there something
00:02:42
about it sort of kind of keeps you on
00:02:44
edge
00:02:45
but that i just think makes makes it
00:02:46
more interesting and
00:02:48
even on film i think it can make things
00:02:50
more interesting when you have that
00:02:53
sort of electrical kind of thing not to
00:02:55
know what to expect and
00:02:57
kind of keeps you on edge yes
00:03:00
he was quite worried about the romantic
00:03:03
scenes
00:03:04
was he well he didn't tell me that well
00:03:07
he he was
00:03:08
he was and harold ramus talks about it
00:03:11
too
00:03:12
uh but you you were not aware that he
00:03:14
was nervous about the romantic scenes
00:03:17
i was a little bit but not terribly
00:03:22
and why do you think he might have been
00:03:24
a little uptight about them i don't
00:03:25
think he's done a lot of romantic scenes
00:03:27
i don't think has he not on screen
00:03:32
there's a difference you know between
00:03:33
doing it in real life and doing it on
00:03:35
screen believe it or not there is
00:03:37
so i was kind of aware but i never
00:03:39
really spoke about it or anything
00:03:41
what did he say uh just that that he um
00:03:46
i guess there are emotions that he
00:03:49
is not particularly comfortable sharing
00:03:52
with
00:03:53
everybody right how does an actor and
00:03:55
actress get past
00:03:56
that i don't know i guess like anything
00:04:00
having doing it more often and having
00:04:02
experience doing it
00:04:04
and i don't know i like the simple
00:04:07
the simple old-fashioned type romantic
00:04:09
scenes like the kind we did i love doing
00:04:12
i don't find them uncomfortable at all i
00:04:14
love a good romance myself
00:04:17
if it's if it's a movie for me if it's a
00:04:19
movie that i would enjoy
00:04:20
watching then i enjoy doing it
00:04:24
was there ever any thought even of going
00:04:27
beyond
00:04:28
what i assume is a pg rating we had a
00:04:31
group
00:04:31
meeting one day when the scene where i s
00:04:34
the first night that i spent the night
00:04:35
with him
00:04:36
and in the movie he falls asleep and we
00:04:38
sleep with our clothes on
00:04:39
we had a group discussion and everybody
00:04:41
discussed on
00:04:43
whether i should have whether we should
00:04:44
have our clothes on we should have our
00:04:45
clothes off with it should look like
00:04:47
we weren't even we weren't actually
00:04:49
going to be performing
00:04:51
the sex scene for the movie but it would
00:04:54
just be
00:04:55
us waking up and we wanted to decide
00:04:56
whether it should look like we had slept
00:04:58
together or not
00:04:59
and we decided that it would mean more
00:05:02
if we hadn't
00:05:03
and i think that's you know it's it's
00:05:05
true
00:05:06
it's not it wasn't necessary for them to
00:05:08
have to sleep together
00:05:10
i mean there's plenty of time for that
00:05:11
to happen after all this is just one day
00:05:13
for her
00:05:15
i was just charmed by the way the whole
00:05:18
thing was handled
00:05:19
and at the romantic part i thought it
00:05:21
was it indeed
00:05:22
it's kind of like watching the romance
00:05:24
scenes on amc
00:05:26
the old movies you know it was there was
00:05:28
just a
00:05:29
sweetness about it and and it was so
00:05:32
right for
00:05:33
this picture and it has class i think a
00:05:35
lot of the new movies just don't have
00:05:37
any class anymore
00:05:38
but hopefully we'll start having a
00:05:39
variety here and start having some
00:05:42
some good some movies or have some taste
00:05:45
to them
00:05:46
what about shortcuts what do you play in
00:05:48
that i play it's a raymond carver short
00:05:50
story and i play a mother who loses her
00:05:51
child
00:05:52
it's a very dramatic very depressing
00:05:54
role
00:05:55
but it was also interesting to do
00:05:59
i had never had to go to such depth
00:06:02
as i had to go for this it was painful
00:06:06
but interesting i love working with
00:06:08
robert altman and he's the best he's
00:06:09
wonderful
00:06:10
but we'll look forward to that painful
00:06:12
for you because you have children
00:06:13
it was horrible yes well good to see you
00:06:16
again thank you
00:06:17
