Goldie Hawn

I do want to clear up something. This has plagued Billy Bob and I since we did that movie. We had this very explicit love scene. There's an urban legend that we really were fucking.

And it's just not true.

What's the other one?

I've heard that too.

But how are you going to do that with people?

Cameras rolling.

I know.

I've heard it too, and it's secretly driven me mad all these years.

Okay, well, now you can say.

That didn't happen. I didn't date Spike Lee or Eddie Murphy. Can I just clear that up?

You can't just be a good actor and you can't just make that shit look real. You had to really be doing it.

Let's hear it. Come on.

Okay, so what were you basing it on? Just rumor?

That's it. That's what you wanted to have happen.

But would you have been happy for me and Billy Bob? Yes. Really? You had a wife. Yes. So, you know, all respect. She would have had to have signed off. I know Angie, and she ain't signing off on that shit. Yeah, you're right.

I'll do a lot of things, but I'm not going to sleep with your man. Although in her blood era, she was a little more white.

Yeah, but they were wearing blood. That didn't mean, okay, go have sex with someone.

In fact, it's the opposite.

As a woman, you would feel so violated. Yeah. There was some wrestler dude. I can't even remember his name right now. Never met the guy. And he's talking about he had sex with me. And people really believed this. Very fucked up. It is. You feel violated when people dare to just... It's an ownership. Yeah. Yeah.

I've been married enough times. Like, you don't need to add on other things to me that have not happened. Just pick from the ones that are there.

I didn't do interviews for 10 years for this reason. I was so tired of the same star-crossed beauty articles wanting to always make me seem like I'm playing the victim or talking about my bad marriages. Like, I was not. But that's what everybody wanted to talk to me about. Which is why when I came here and I thought, oh, two hours.

Because you sit down with people, you talk about so many things, but they extrapolate the story they want to tell about you. And they have the power as the editor-in-chief of their magazine—

And what they want to spin about you.

And what they think is sellable. Is sellable. And I got hip to that. And I just said, no more. This doesn't service me. It services them.

Me too. So you can hear my inflection. You hear if I'm joking. You hear if it's in jest. You hear if I'm mad. And then ask me anything.

Thanks for clarifying.

These podcasts have revolutionized everything and it's given us back our power.

Really?

That would have been amazing.

My friend Mark Platt produced that. I was like, Mark, you should have given me that.

Just give me that. Give me that.

Yes, Ben. We love that. I do too. Oh my God, I grew up with them. I invested in Wicked. So that's how far back I go. Wow.

One of the smartest things I ever freaking did.

That's right, because there are many of us. That's right.

Oh, I immediately knew that. It's so cool. I also had a fundamental knowing that when I won that Oscar, it didn't mean I was the best. It meant I won. Because what is the best performance? Again, it's subjective. So it just meant I won. And I knew when they tried to give me the Razzie, it didn't mean I was the worst. It just meant I won that fucking thing. Yeah. It's very healthy. I know that.

I thought if you can go and accept an accolade, then you must be of the same character and substance to go accept something when they're telling you, okay, it sucked balls. You must be able to be the same person.

It's so classy. It was so fun to get up there and make jokes. And I wrote my whole speech and I was like ready to rock.

I put way more energy in my Razzie speech. The Oscar speech, I didn't even write a speech. I didn't think I was going to win. I thought Sissy Spacek was going to win. Because back in those days, whoever won the Golden Globe pretty much always won the Oscar. And she won the Golden Globe. So I pretty much knew after that, okay, this was a fun ride. I got nominated. Sorry, Dee Dee.

I didn't do it for you.

Right. Either way, there would have been a connection.

Yeah.

I was the first one to bring their Oscar, that's for sure. Somewhere there was a first in that.
