At this point of your life what do you say keeps you fulfilled and grounded?
Kate: Obviously the easy answer is my son and my family. I mean that’s always good question especially these last few years in my life was spent with a lot of traveling and a lot of different things happen in my life and I think just keeping a real good perspective of what all of this is and umm..why we do what we do and why we love what we do and sort of taking you know and how lucky we are to do it. For me , my son especially I get these great periods of time where I can dedicate all my time to my son makes the days that I’m working eighteen hour days and I’m feeling guilty not being able to be there when all those times I want to be mother. It makes those times feel better and I can sort of get a nice balance. All and all, my family you know and remaining honest with myself and not taking myself too seriously and enjoying my life day to day and letting it’s kind of a funny world we live in today with tabloid and all I feel there’s so much negativity out there and if it like people sense that people only want to read things that either controversial or negative therefore you end up dealing with people lying about your life and having to answer to things that becomes ridiculous with an onslot of lies and you have to answer to them. That is a difficult place to live. That’s the hardest part of what we all do. And so, in order to deal with that, once again, I go back to life at home with my family, my son and my friends and the experiences I have on set with the people I get to work with on set..lucky enough to work with, it makes me feel more balanced.
Dane Cook: If you could elongate on that a little bit. (laughter erupts in the room). Can I have a written copy of that transcript.
Can you expound on working with Alec Baldwin and his sound effects?
Dane Cook: Alec Baldwin is an incredible umm I mean this guy is a tour de force when you talk about people that are generous and available and somebody you could approach and I have ideas. Arguably one of the greatest comedic characters created on television of what he’s doing right now and he made us all feel like pal around with him and come up with the best scenarios or scenarios if you’re a fucking asshole. So working with Alec was Baldwin does it the best.
And sound effect?

Dane Cook: Sound effect? What are you speaking about?
There’s a specific scene where he’s speaking of an explicit act he does?
Dane Cook: Oh, yes! That was one take and that’s something that doesn’t need to be talked about. When we finished that, we kind of looked at each other and thought that’s a nougat of gold. Alec Baldwin…
Jason Biggs: Or a nugget if you’re an asshole.
(laughter)
Have you ever been pathetic over women?
Dane Cook: I hear he’s very pathetic (referring to Jason). I’ve dated all his exes. Ah…the stories they tell me about this guy. Pathetic, oh yeah because I’m a sappy romantic.
Kate: You are actually.
Dane Cook: Umm hmm.
Kate: Getting to know this one (referring to Dane), oh the nose like, you need to get yourself together.
DC: I don’t kiss until the 40th date. I really like to take it slow. I’ll present you with a piñata with my hopes and dreams. I can’t speak for Jason but yeah I have five sisters too so everything about my upbringing was about how to treat a woman and things that girls like. The simple things to the way to their heart then ultimately to their vagina. Yeah, follow that mother fucker.

Jason Biggs: Well, I grew up with mostly women so…I grew up with a vagina. You can bypass my heart and go directly to my vagina. Did I follow up okay?
Dane Cook: That’s why you’re the best man.
Following up on vagina, in the scene where you and Dane get into the song Pop That Pussy, did you guys already know the words to the song?
Kate: Yeah, it’s 2 Live Crew.
Dane Cook: Sure.
(laughter erupts)
Dane Cook: By the way, we both voted you the best hair in the room (he’s talking to one of the journalists) . Pop That Pussy! Oh my god so romantic.
What can we look forward in Bride Wars?
Kate: Oh..
Dane Cook: I’ll be right back. (walks away then comes back).

Kate: You know what. I actually got to see the movie and I’m actually excited about it. I guess two girls going at it. What im most interested in the movie and how it turned out is how emotionally it’s got really a nice message and it’s about friendship and why those relationships are important in people’s lives and holding on to them and how they get us through everything. So, it’s a really and top of that it’s very funny. Annie and I had the best time with it.
Dane Cook: From the thoroughbred point of view, he was like the jockey on our back. Whipping us. He was wearing short shorts. Mr. Deutch when I first sat down with him to talk about the movie and being familiar with his film repertoire, there was an immediate synergy. The same thing happened with Jason and Kate. When I talked to Mr. Deutch over here, this would be a dream cast and is there any way to make this happen. Helped facilitate that as well. We were off to a good start from script to director to great people to work with.
