Drew: Actually, if it's OK, I built this mood board of you and your hair in ‘Black Bag’ which we're going to talk about today. I saw you use different body language with her.

Cate: There's so much hair.

Drew: Oh, she gave it to you. I felt you feeling yourself in it. You go all the way.

Cate: Well, Steven Soderbergh, who directed the film, and I'd worked with him before and he's such an extraordinary filmmaker. He's very sparse on direction, so I said to him, ‘You know, how do you perceive Catherine, she works in espionage, she's married to someone who's in technological espionage. Where should I go?’ And he said, he sent me a, a two-word email that said big hair. That was the only direction he gave me, big hair. So that's what that was and I don't have big hair, so I had to borrow it. I can never because my sister is brunette and I am blonde. Well, I'm a swamp water blonde. This isn't my natural color.

Drew: Remember they used to call it dishwater?  Dishwater blonde. What how was that?

Cate: That's not a compliment.

Drew: No.

Cate: So I don't know, is it blonde or is it? Hang on. This is gonna, this is my drag act. It does change you, right?

Drew: Now, your demeanor.

Cate: I've already shifted.

Drew: You've already shifted. This is the stuff that keeps me up at night.

Cate: Yeah, I had lunch with her. I had lunch with her. I don't know why.

I think if I played Queen Elizabeth the First., I assumed that she hadn't seen the movie and I sat next to the, the Duke of Edinburgh, the then Duke of Edinburgh, and he asked what I did and I went, oh, I said ‘I'm an actor’, and he said he had a, he'd just been given a DVD player by his grandsons, and could I tell him how to work it. I was like, that's not my area of expertise.  I don't know quite why I was there.
