My friend has labelled me a "cutetarian". 18 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,658 - Cutetarian? - Because I don't eat cute animals. Only the third ugly ones. 19 00:01:15,659 --> 00:01:19,833 - Really? - Yes. Like chicken and turkeys and well... 20 00:01:19,834 --> 00:01:23,797 So an idious animal or unattactive animal you will eat? 21 00:01:23,798 --> 00:01:28,093 Yeah, well... I won't eat, you know... ducks or bunnies or you know stuff... 22 00:01:28,094 --> 00:01:31,310 No more people running around eating bunnies, you know. 23 00:01:31,311 --> 00:01:33,540 - They call it rabbit - A rabbit. Yeah. 24 00:01:33,541 --> 00:01:37,052 Noone says "Bunny you know". 25 00:01:37,053 --> 00:01:38,636 I won't eat puppies. 26 00:01:38,637 --> 00:01:44,208 Yeah. Good. Nice. Let's celebrate. More celebrities could join that cause. 27 00:01:44,209 --> 00:01:45,826 Peter ?William? and Grace ?Y? may be. 28 00:01:45,827 --> 00:01:51,288 Yeah, So that's nice that you wouldn't eat... but ducks? What about ducks? I mean ducks are... 29 00:01:51,289 --> 00:01:58,854 Ducks are cute. They are. Especially I used to feed them when I was a kid at the pond. There are really cute. 30 00:01:58,855 --> 00:02:02,086 Chickens start cute and then they get ugly. So I can eat those. 31 00:02:02,087 --> 00:02:06,960 So you'd eat the baby chick but the .... you would just munch away. Yeah. 32 00:02:06,961 --> 00:02:16,380 And I won't eat baby cows, but cows are sort of cute as adults but I try'a think... I try'a just put that... 33 00:02:16,381 --> 00:02:20,596 - Think other thoughts. This is a all mouvements. - Yeah. Because I also love to wear leathers. So... 34 00:02:20,597 --> 00:02:23,606 So I try to avoid looking at cows. 35 00:02:23,607 --> 00:02:25,765 Very good. You know how to not think about it too much. 36 00:02:25,766 --> 00:02:29,813 Last time... It is going to be smoothly now, Mr Will Arnett is a nice guy. 37 00:02:29,814 --> 00:02:33,894 But last time you were on the show, Luke Perry was sitting over there. 38 00:02:33,895 --> 00:02:37,245 And you guys had an awkward moment. 39 00:02:37,246 --> 00:02:40,790 You called the ????? on... you thought he snubed you a little bit? 40 00:02:40,791 --> 00:02:41,919 He did snub me! 41 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,696 Well, we'll show... Let's take a fine look back at that awkward moment. Let's take a look. 42 00:02:46,697 --> 00:02:51,441 - I have to give him a little Hello before I start. - OK. 43 00:02:51,442 --> 00:02:57,779 We stay at the same hotel. And I encounter him in the elevator and he had his head down reading news. 44 00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:00,490 "Oh I'm going to the exact same place you're going" I said. 45 00:03:00,491 --> 00:03:03,441 "I seriously doubt it." 46 00:03:04,495 --> 00:03:08,524 Actually that's not what I said. 47 00:03:08,525 --> 00:03:12,191 So that's was good of you. 48 00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:16,277 - Why!? - I think it was good because I don't confront people. 49 00:03:16,278 --> 00:03:18,626 I'm 'confrontation-averse'. I'm affraid to do it. 50 00:03:18,627 --> 00:03:23,550 But you, on a National television you turned,... a 60 millions people were watching this epidode, 51 00:03:23,551 --> 00:03:26,291 You turned and you gave him to 'em. That was... - Yeah. 52 00:03:26,292 --> 00:03:34,753 Yeah. Now what's the weird thing is that not too long afterwards, you cast in a romantic play with Luke Perry!? 53 00:03:34,754 --> 00:03:39,976 Yes. Luke and I did How Harry met Sally in the West end of... in London. 54 00:03:39,977 --> 00:03:42,710 How had you put aside your differences? 55 00:03:42,711 --> 00:03:48,211 Well, he always denies that he snubed me. But you know... I know the truth, whatever. 56 00:03:48,212 --> 00:03:56,440 No. He is such a wonderful guy and I mean we were... we did the show for probably six months, 57 00:03:56,441 --> 00:03:59,546 I think it was the fifth month before he started to talking to me. 58 00:03:59,547 --> 00:04:02,067 - Really? - So it wasn't awkward at all. 59 00:04:02,068 --> 00:04:04,195 - You'd get heard the tension in the play. 60 00:04:04,196 --> 00:04:09,961 - No he is very sweet. And you know... sort of that jokes of... Yeah. Allright. 61 00:04:09,962 --> 00:04:12,168 You are lovely... 62 00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:14,633 - Now, you are married now. - I am indeed. 63 00:04:14,634 --> 00:04:19,161 I think I saw you somewhere during an eve planning with you husband and he spoke. 64 00:04:19,362 --> 00:04:22,965 And it sounds a British accent, I thought. Is he British? 65 00:04:22,966 --> 00:04:25,664 And sounds to me now your husband is not British but he has a British accent. 66 00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:27,774 Yeah. He lived there for forteen years. 67 00:04:27,775 --> 00:04:34,531 And so if he's talking to anyone British, he'll have the accent, but it sort of "it comes and goes". 68 00:04:34,532 --> 00:04:39,101 Like I know who's calling him by the accent that he uses. 69 00:04:39,102 --> 00:04:42,288 If its accent really changes, that would worry me. 70 00:04:42,289 --> 00:04:46,109 The persons you were married to, sometime they're one person and sometime they pick up like 71 00:04:46,109 --> 00:04:50,007 "Hey honey I love ya." "Hello ?????" 72 00:04:50,008 --> 00:04:51,547 "How're ya" 73 00:04:51,548 --> 00:04:53,553 And that's exactly how it sounds. 74 00:04:53,554 --> 00:04:56,558 ????? 75 00:04:56,559 --> 00:04:57,927 I don't want to talk to that guy anymore. 76 00:04:57,928 --> 00:05:03,555 But it is nice cos' the accent is so sexy. So that's nice to have a husband that sort of... sometimes... 77 00:05:03,556 --> 00:05:05,129 Nothing like mine I hope. Year. 78 00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:07,379 - It's similar. - Yeah. 79 00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:09,828 My English accent is about as accurate as my French. 80 00:05:09,829 --> 00:05:14,362 Yeah. When I was doing the play there, I sort of sounded like Madonna. 81 00:05:14,363 --> 00:05:18,740 You know, this sort of thick British accent. Cos' it's really hard not to imitate their accent. 82 00:05:18,741 --> 00:05:22,194 It sort of blows me away, because, you know, Madonna, when you see her on interview now, 83 00:05:22,195 --> 00:05:26,139 Especially when she is, you know... She does sound a little like Mary Poppins. 84 00:05:26,140 --> 00:05:27,921 I know, but I totally understand it. 85 00:05:27,922 --> 00:05:32,253 I used to sort of judge her and think "Oh come on, we are not English". 86 00:05:32,254 --> 00:05:36,338 And just being here for six months I completly sounded like Madonna. 87 00:05:36,339 --> 00:05:38,672 - It's just happened. - I have the Madonna accent. 88 00:05:38,673 --> 00:05:40,721 You started to wearing a monocle... 89 00:05:42,191 --> 00:05:43,285 Absolutely. 90 00:05:43,286 --> 00:05:44,360 By Jove 91 00:05:44,361 --> 00:05:48,445 I'm curious, I'm thinking about you had so much success in different arenas, 92 00:05:48,446 --> 00:05:50,703 Buffy was a big hit show, 93 00:05:50,704 --> 00:05:53,335 and then you are in the American Pie movies, 94 00:05:53,336 --> 00:05:55,829 and now you are in How I met your Mother, 95 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:59,074 and so I'm curious, when someone approaches you who's a fan 96 00:05:59,075 --> 00:06:04,456 you know... you must not know exactly of which show they are fans of, how they get to know you. 97 00:06:04,457 --> 00:06:09,507 Yeah. Well,... you know the American Pie's fans, you can kind of see them coming. 98 00:06:09,508 --> 00:06:13,848 Because they're usually screaming at me, and like saying fool things... 99 00:06:13,849 --> 00:06:19,028 "Where is the flute? euuu..." like that kind of stuff. 100 00:06:19,063 --> 00:06:22,055 I get that too. For different reasons. 101 00:06:22,056 --> 00:06:26,855 What the... I mean you must have very intense fans, what's the most intense... 102 00:06:26,856 --> 00:06:29,523 you know... sort of... situation you have with the fans? 103 00:06:29,524 --> 00:06:35,261 Well, I had a fan who shown up to my house with a horse that she wanted to give me... Yeah. 104 00:06:35,262 --> 00:06:36,195 What do you mean? 105 00:06:36,196 --> 00:06:39,631 She had a horse, a beautiful horse, I wouldn't eat it. 106 00:06:39,632 --> 00:06:50,181 And, she was like: "- Oh I just want to give you this horse. - Really?" 107 00:06:50,182 --> 00:06:53,163 And my husband: "Noooo don't take the horse." 108 00:06:53,164 --> 00:06:54,560 And... you know...
