Conan O'Brian: Alright, everyone, my next guest tonight is one of the stars of 'Dawson's Creek' and she's now co-starring in the play 'Killing Joe' at the SoHo Playhouse right here in New York City. Please welcome, Michelle Williams. *applause as Michelle walks out. She's wearing this tight red Bahama's shirt, and black leather pants and boots.* CO: Congratulations. Play is doing quite well. Michelle Williams: Can I make a quick correction? CO: Yes. MW: It's 'Killer Joe'. CO: What did I just say? MW: Killing Joe. CO: That's what it said on the card and I do what is on the cark, like a mindless robot. So it's 'Killing Joe' from now on until they change the card. 'Killer Joe'. MW: 'Killer Joe'. CO: Okay, well, we have a well (missed word) machine, my apologies. MW: That's okay. CO: Uh, you having a good time here in New York City? MW: I am, I've, I've been really enjoying it. It's a crazy city though. Crazy, crazy things happen here. CO: Like what? MW: Umm, I was at, I was at this bar the other night, not that I participate in anything that goes on at a bar, because I'm obviously under age. And, uhhh... CO: Wait, how old are you? MW: I'm 18. CO: What's the, what's the drinking age here? MW: 21. CO: Oh, then you must wait. MW: I must! (laughter from audience) I don't touch the stuff. CO: Okay. Good. Yes. MW: Yes! CO: Yes! MW: And, umm... CO: Well, you can go now. (laughs - laughter from audience) I've asked you enough questions. MW: So I'm sitting at this bar at like this really swanky place over at the SoHo Grand Hotel. CO: Mmhmm, nice place. MW: And, uhhh, I'm sitting at the bar with my friend, and this huge, hunkering she-male comes walking up. I mean, the big spike heels, the fish nets, the dress, the hair, the whole nine yards, comes up to this guy at the bar, smacks him with her purse and says (with a deep manly voice)'You bastard'. Doesn't even make an attempt to like, disguise the voice, or you know, sound feminine at all. Says 'You bastard' and walks out. CO: Right. Do you know what that was all about? MW: No. No, well, I'm assuming, well... CO: You think this transvestite just walks around into different hotels hitting people. (with scary voice) YOU BASTARD! (laughter from Michelle and audience) MW: No, no, I think that there was some sort of personal connection there. CO: Okay, alright, and you do this play at night, is that, is that right? What, you do one show a night...? MW: Yeah, we have two shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We have matinees. CO: And what (missed word completely) I've always heard when you do one show a night, I know what it's like doing this show, I have to kinda time when I eat so my blood sugar is at a certain crazy high, so I can do the program. What about you? Do you have to worry about that? MW: Well, I time to relation to nudity. Umm, because I, I happen to participate in a brief nude scene. And umm... CO: What, you're not old enough to drink, but you can be naked. MW: But I can be naked! (laughter and applause) CO: Yeah, that's what I understand. MW: Killer. CO: So, umm, you're naked for how long in the play? MW: It's a, it's a very brief moment and it's really not that big of a deal, so... CO: Okay. MW: Umm, but for awhile, I put myself on the, uhh, naked diet, and I, I had the goal to look like a 12 year old boy, I wanted to be like skinny and super model. And, ummm... CO: I look like a 12 year old boy when I'm naked. (laughter from audience) MW: Do you? I'm so jealous. CO: (laughing) Yeah, but what, so, you mean, so you just, yeah, cause if you eat something, what? MW: Yeah, then you get like a little pot belly, and that's never really attractive, so umm, I have to eat only at night. CO: Right, umm, so you eat after the show. MW: Right after the show. CO: Right. Now, do people behave themselves during the nude scenes? I would think that sometimes you might get people in the audience that, that can't be mature about the whole thing. MW: That, that happens, that happens. CO: I mean, I think everyone here has behaved admirally so far. Everyone's like, nudity. (laughter from audience) Interesting. If it's used properly. I mean, I think we get a very aerodite crowd here, but those theatre crowds can be a little cooky. MW: Yeah, they don't understand that they're not at a movie theatre, and that there isn't a screen up and there are actually real people up there that can hear you. And last night I heard, umm, as I was talking off my clothes, I heard, 'Move over, I can't see her breast!' (laughter from audience) And then you hear like, rustling from people try to angle a better position at my body. So classy. CO: (laughing) Move your head or I'll kill you! MW: (laughing) Yeah. (laughter from audience) CO: Ahh, now I see boobie! (more laughter all around) Cave men are coming to the show. Uhh, so, that's good. But other than that, people are pretty quiet? You haven't heard no disturbances or anything like that? MW: No, I mean, I've heard all kinds of remarks, like 'This is it, this is where she takes her clothes off! Oh my God, look at her body', yeah I mean... CO: People are coming to the show repeated times. MW: I know! CO: (in scary voice - counting down on his watch) 10, 9, 8... MW: They make sure to sit in the front row. CO: Uhh, you do Dawson's Creek where? It's in North Carolina... MW: Yeah, it's in Wilmington, North Carolina. CO: North, north Carolina. And then someone told me that you drove, you didn't jump on a plane to come to New York to do the play. You actually decided to drive. MW: Yeah, I'm a big, big fan of road trips. I take them very seriously. Umm, it's a way of life for me, and so I drove from North Carolina to New York and uhh, it's very, very serious business to me. I've got the fuzzy dice, I got the air freshener, I got the road trip hat, I've got the CB radio.... CO: You have a CB radio? What kinda car do you have? Because you could have all that stuff but it's like a Hyndai, it kinda sucks. MW: (laughing) No, it's uhh, it's uhh, big truck. CO: You got a truck?! Like a pick up truck? (breaking away from Michelle) Are you two, what is going on over there? These two over here are... (laughter from audience - speaking to Rob Lowe, the guest before Michelle) Rob?? I thought you chose Hobo? (more laughter) Rob Lowe: I'm leaving! I'm out of here. CO: We're trying to have a conversation over here, and you two look like you're necking! You keep whispering and giggling. Andy: We tried to be subtle. CO: Yeah, well just calm down! Andy: I know, it is, it is very rude and I apologize. CO: Yeah! MW: Apology accepted. Andy: Okay. CO: Okay, I'm sorry. It's very strange. Alright, uhh, you uhh, you were saying you got a truck... MW: Oh, it's all blown. It's all, my story has just gone to hell! (laughter from audience) CO: I wanna know what kinda truck she has. Andy: Fuzzy dice, cap, tell me about it. (more laughter) CO: Well, it's a real truck? MW: Yeah, yeah, it's a truck... CO: Well the CB radio craze, I mean, you're too young, I'm in my late 50's (laughter) I, it's very sad, it's like, let's pretend he's in his 30's, but I, when I was a kid, the CB craze was really big. There was that song, Convoy. (singing) I said let them truckers roll, 10-4, cause we got a great big convoy, trucking through the night, we got a...(looks at audience and stops singing - laughter). Anyway, uhh, did you, you missed that whole thing but you have a CB. MW: But I do have a CB. It, it comes in handy, you know, you look out for Cops, there's a whole like lingo, there... CO: Smokey... What are? MW: Smokey bears. CO: Yeah. We call 'em, yeah, Smokey, smokey bears. And, uhh, what's your handle? Everyone has to have their handle. MW: My handle is, uhh, is, little ducky. My dad used to tell me when I was a kid, you gotta be like a little ducky and let it all roll off your back. CO: Little ducky. MW: Yeah. CO: So they fear you on the highway? (laughter from audience) MW: No, no, no! (laughing) CO: Little ducky's coming, get out of here! (more laughing) MW: I'm actually a big hit on the truck driving circuits cause there's not too many women, so you get on there and softly and seductively, (lowering her voice) "Breaker 10-4 this is little ducky, do you read me?" and you get alot of responses. CO: Yeah, I would think so. I'd be like, "Hi... This is medium size ducky..." (laughter) Uhh, that was my handle, and I got depressed. Well of course, Dawson's Creek is Wednesday's at 8 o'clock on the WB and Killer Joe, okay, my apologies for that, is at the SoHo Playhouse in New York City. Michelle, thank you very much for coming by. It was really good having you. MW: Thank you. CO: Good luck on the play. Michelle Williams everybody! We'll take a break and be right back.
