00:00I've made it to the breast room.
00:03Congratulations.
00:04I know we have a lot of people who want to ask some questions, so Sam, KTLA, I'm going
00:11to start with you first.
00:14I thought there were only three questions.
00:16It'll be about three.
00:17There's a lot of people who want to talk to you, but we'll only call on about three of
00:20them.
00:21All right, Sam.
00:22All right.
00:23Thank you.
00:24Donald, congratulations to you.
00:26Good for you.
00:27Thank you.
00:28I didn't realize that people were able and willing to keep the secret of this miniseries
00:34for so long.
00:35I don't think people have ever discussed, and we won't hear, what ultimately happened.
00:41Well, I have to be truthful.
00:46We didn't know.
00:48I always suspected that it was me.
00:52Me too.
00:54That's the truth.
00:58Maybe it was me.
01:00Okay.
01:01Maybe.
01:02Did that answer the question?
01:07I don't ...
01:08Well, I'm curious as to, be it you or whomever it was, the fact that it has not been widely
01:15disseminated, was that surprising to you?
01:19No.
01:21No.
01:23Should it have been?
01:27I don't know.
01:29No, no, no.
01:30I make a lot of ...
01:33Thanks, Sam.
01:34All right.
01:35Celeb Page, coming to you guys.
01:39Congratulations, Brother Lynn.
01:43Thank you.
01:46I'm just curious.
01:50Was there somebody in your life, maybe a friend or a grandchild, who kept trying to get spoiler
01:56information from you as the series was going on?
02:01No.
02:02And more than that, I didn't know.
02:05We didn't get the sixth script until just before we shot it.
02:10Seriously.
02:14And then when I knew, the relief that it wasn't me was so great that I didn't want to say
02:22anything.
02:23Except I guess I've just said something, haven't I?
02:28How are you?
02:29All right.
02:30Our last question.
02:31Paul, coming to you.
02:37All right.
02:38Well, thank you so much for being with us, and congratulations on the wins.
02:43Very exciting.
02:44Thank you.
02:45And to do what you do and do it so well, you have to be in a successful mindset all the
02:51time.
02:52And what is it that you have always kept in mind that keeps you on such a great path?
03:01I have no idea how to answer that.
03:04I can only say that, you know, it sounds awful and really pretentious, but it's always been
03:12the pursuit of truthfulness, you know, the truthfulness of the character and the joy
03:17in discovering that.
03:19That's been the great happiness of my life.
03:22Yeah.
03:23It's a great answer.
03:24I mean, the character in this was so beautifully written and directed.
03:30It was just, and to play with Nicole, I mean, I've been her father a couple of times, and
03:36I just, I love it, you know?
03:38And he was fantastic.
03:42I had a lot of pleasure doing that.
03:46And I had a lot of pleasure saying David E. Kelly's lines, you know?
03:51It's not often you get to call yourself a cocksucker.
03:55Absolutely.
03:56No, that's wonderful.
03:57Thank you so much, and congrats again.
04:00Okay, thank you very much.
04:03Thank you so much, Mr. Sutherland, and congratulations again.
04:06We appreciate your time.
04:08Thank you.
04:09Can I ask you to do me a favor?
04:12Sure.
04:14Okay, the young lady who presented it is Canadian.
04:20If you could tell her, can you see that?
04:22Mm-hmm.
04:24Tell her that's Canadian and that I'm Canadian, and give her a big kiss for me, please.
04:31Oh, we definitely will.
04:32We definitely will.
04:33It's a sweet connection.
04:36Thank you.
04:37Thank you.
04:38Okay.
04:39Bye-bye.
