  • Our first guests.

  • Please welcome my friend Diane Keaton.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • [MUSIC - BILLIE EILISH - "TOUGH GUY"]

  • So you're a tough guy, like it really rough guy, just

  • can't get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy.

  • I'm that bad type, make your mama sad type,

  • make your girlfriend mad type, might seduce your dad type.

  • I'm the bad guy.

  • Duh.

  • Oh!

  • Oh!

  • She's so great!

  • Do you love her?

  • I love her.

  • [CHEERING]

  • Duh.

  • Thank you, too.

  • Listen to that!

  • I'm only good at being bad!

  • Do you know, I want to say something about Billie English.

  • Eilish.

  • Oh, Eilish.

  • I'm sorry.

  • I don't speak English.

  • So Billie Eilish, I mean, I can not tell you.

  • You know, I grew up in Highland Park, where she lives?

  • Can you believe that!

  • And her brother and she, they live in Highland Park.

  • Yes!

  • Yes!

  • I guess that doesn't mean much to you.

  • Not really.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I'm sorry.

  • I thought I'd share that.

  • Well, no, it's good that you shared that.

  • Maybe I'll move along onto something else.

  • OK.

  • No, I mean, what kind of reaction

  • would you have wanted from that?

  • Let me give you--

  • From Billie Eilish?

  • No, let me just give you the sentence and then--

  • I'd like to see her.

  • And then you respond the way--

  • I'm supposed to respond?

  • OK, I grew up in Highland Park.

  • And that's where Billie Eilish and her brother live.

  • Yes.

  • Did I do that wrong?

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • That's the way they reacted.

  • I was giving you a chance to react the way you

  • thought we should have reacted.

  • Oh, oh, yeah.

  • Can you give me another chance?

  • Yes.

  • I grew up in Highland Park.

  • And that's where Billie Eilish and her brother

  • live, in Highland Park.

  • I don't really care about you.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • That's what they did.

  • You showed up to our fundraiser at Grillpalooza.

  • I loved it!

  • You had fun.

  • I did.

  • And I'm glad you had fun.

  • You were there.

  • And you discovered-- you didn't discover something you liked.

  • But there was something you liked there.

  • And that is Chris Martin.

  • Uh-oh, let's not discuss that.

  • Oh, God, no.

  • He's-- oh, my God.

  • I loved that so much.

  • He was so great that night.

  • Wasn't he great?

  • And he was by himself.

  • I mean, he was just--

  • he's amazing.

  • Yeah, yeah, he was not with the band.

  • He was just performing by himself.

  • Really sweet.

  • He stepped in for Miley Cyrus because she couldn't make it.

  • Oh, he's just unbelievable.

  • And you know, I'm doing a fundraiser for the homeless.

  • You are?

  • Yes, I am.

  • When is that?

  • That's going to be in two months.

  • Two months, all right.

  • And I'm going to try to get him to come and perform.

  • Oh, my God, if we could get him.

  • Well, he's on tour right now.

  • But if you can get him--

  • I'm sure if he's around, he would do it.

  • Oh, I love him.

  • Yeah, OK, he's a he's a good one.

  • But there's plenty of people who will do that for you.

  • Because we need--

  • I'm glad you're doing that here.

  • This is the worst situation in Los Angeles in history.

  • It is horrible.

  • And I'm very excited about this.

  • And I hope that I do well for them.

  • Yeah, just going downtown, you're

  • just shocked by what's happening.

  • It's really, really bad.

  • Let's talk about the book, though.

  • My book.

  • Because this, I really want to--

  • this is beautifully written.

  • And everyone knows you as a very funny person.

  • And yet, you're talking about your brother in this book.

  • And some really, really hard stories that you're sharing.

  • You're very honest with it.

  • Tell everybody why you wrote it, and about your brother.

  • My mother was tremendous--

  • I mean she wrote reams.

  • When she died, I inherited her library.

  • And her library was full of all her journals.

  • And there's so many of them.

  • Then, when my brother got really ill, I inherited his.

  • And I never read all his poems, or seen,

  • or looked at all his collages, or any of it, really.

  • And so I had this opportunity to go back and revisit Randy

  • and, also my mother's journey through life.

  • So sometimes, you do these things.

  • But I think it's important to definitely, in some way,

  • not necessarily write a book, but document

  • to yourself what you've learned, as you've gotten older about,

  • what you could've done better, or something like that.

  • Yeah, well, I understand you're saying.

  • But I mean, there are things that you really

  • couldn't have done better.

  • And he wasn't really diagnosed properly.

  • And he doesn't know- he's not aware

  • that you wrote this book, right?

  • No, no, he will never know, no.

  • Because he has been diagnosed with dementia and other things.

  • But it went back and forth with schizophrenia

  • and a lot of different things.

  • And that's a really difficult thing, too, for you.

  • Because that's obviously nothing you could have done better.

  • Maybe.

  • Maybe I could have done better.

  • Yeah, I understand your feeling that.

  • But I don't think so.

  • But anyway, it's just really--

  • it's great for me to have the opportunity

  • to revisit my brother, and also to really--

  • that all families are different.

  • We're also different.

  • We all have these really intense emotional experiences

  • with our family.

  • And it's just, I think, really important to talk about it

  • more.

  • I don't know, within your own family,

  • if you really are open about your feelings and thoughts.

  • Right?

  • Yes.

  • It's a beautiful book.

  • And like I said, you just never know about somebody.

  • You see you in movies.

  • And you see you being hilarious on the show and everything.

  • And there's layers and layers to all of us.

  • And I'm glad that you're showing us this.

  • I think it's great.

  • Well, thank you, Ellen.

  • I really appreciate that.

  • All right, Diane.

  • We're going to take a break.

  • And we'll be back in a minute.
