It feels like it was so long ago, but it wasn't, I guess, that long ago, and we were
out in the middle of nowhere with each other, you know, not sleeping there, but every day it was
like we were camping, and so you form bonds with people, and there was a sort of a reality that we
all felt in doing it, and I think it really shows when you watch the show, and it's
being received really well. I'm really proud of it. All of the, I'm so proud of this cast.
Every single one of them is superb, and I feel, I do, I feel like mama bear.
I didn't see any writing for a long time. I committed sight unseen. I, well, I did think
about it a little bit more than that, but, which is the first time I've ever done that,
and Taylor Sheridan has such a strong track record, and he told me, but I sat down with him,
and he told me sort of the shell of what the story would be, and then I called Helen Mirren,
who I don't really know, but she agreed to speak to me, and she seemed to me to be the kind of
person who doesn't suffer fools, and I thought I'll get a straight answer from her, so I asked
her what her experience was, and she's fantastic, by the way, hilarious, and she said,
the scripts are perfect. It's the best run production I've ever worked on,
and she gave them such glowing reviews that I committed. Yeah, it was a scheduling issue for
me for a couple of years. I was working on Monarch, and we were trying to figure out how
this could work. I was really glad that they were able to come up with the process of doing two
seasons, so I was able to shoot all my stuff that I wasn't in in the first season, that I wasn't
available to be there for, but it worked out really good, and I thought Michelle was perfect
for this, and I thought that when I saw some of the things that she was doing, it fit for what I
assumed Taylor was looking for, and I was just given the opportunity to be able to bring to
the show what she needed and what was good for the show itself, so it's good. Why not do it?
I think the air. I mean, you get off the airplane, and we shoot in Bozeman or outside of Bozeman,
and it's just that first gulp of it. I was just in Edinburgh, actually, two nights ago,
you just breathe differently, and everything's just clear and beautiful, and yeah, if I could
take the air back to Los Angeles with me when I go home, I absolutely would. I think that we all
sort of dream about that. I know that I've spent a great deal of my life in Los Angeles,
which is very urban, but I moved to Colorado in 1976, and that's where my heart is. Yeah,
I mean, he's probably the least Taylor-shared in character you've ever imagined. He is so out of
his element in this environment in which Taylor's shows are all set, and that was like a real
attraction for me. I thought, oh, that's something I can do something with. He's a little more
uncomfortable than I would be in these natural environments, but it was so fun to play and dive
into, and you know, there's a lot of elements at play when you shoot in Montana, and I got to just
make myself as uncomfortable as humanly possible and just relish in the fear that anything was
going to kill me at any moment. I think the relatability of what this family goes through
with a tragedy, a true tragedy, and also this sort of fish out of water that they become when they go
from New York City to Montana, and a whole different style of living, a whole different
type of people, but I think that what's at the core of them as human beings and what they're
dealing with is, it's just presented in such a beautiful fashion.
