MY FIRST GUEST IS AN ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED ACTRESS AND

AUTHOR YOU KNOW FROM "BASIC INSTINCT" AND "CASINO."

HER NEW MEMOIR IS CALLED "THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE."

PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW," SHARON STONE!

SHARON STONE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW MEMOIR.

>> Stephen: "THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE."

THIS ISN'T YOUR FIRST BOOK, THOUGH, RIGHT?

>> NO, I WROTE A LITTLE BOOK BEFORE WITH MY FRIEND MIMI

WE WROTE A BOOK A THE LONG TIME AGO FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE SOMETHING

TO GIVE SOMEONE WHEN THEY LOSE SOMEONE IMPORTANT IN THEIR

>> AND I FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, BRINGING THE PIE OVER OR A CASE

OF BEER, IT WOULD BE NICER IF SOMEONE HAD A THING TO GIVE

SO WE WROTE THIS-- SHE TOOK A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS OF

ANGELS IN GRAVEYARDS ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND I WROTE LITTLE

PASSAGES ON THE PAGES AND LEFT SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO WRITE

BUT I NEED TO-- I NEED TO FACT CHECK ONE HERE THAT'S SLIGHTLY

IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER-- I HOPE I HAVE THIS

RIGHT-- YOUR GRANDMOTHER TAUGHT YOU HOW TO PICK POCKETS.

>> MY GRANDMOTHER JUST BASICALLY STOLE EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T

ALL THE DISHES IN HER HOUSE HAD THE NAMES OF HOTELS AND ALL THE

SILVERWARE HAD THE NAMES OF OTHER PLACES.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE KITCHEN TABLE HAD, LIKE, THE TIN DINER NAPKIN

HOLDER THAT YOU CAN TAKE THE NAPKINS OUT OF SIDES, AND THE

WHAT'S THE SECRET TO BEING A PICK POCKET?

LIKE PERHAPS SOMEONE MIGHT BE TALKING TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,

AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT HER HANDS ARE DOING.

WHEN YOU STEAL THINGS OFF THE TABLE TOP YOU OFTEN LEAN IN AND

TALK SO PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE YOUR HAND SLIDING THE THINGS OFF THE

TABLE ON TO YOUR LAP AND THEN INTO A BAG.

>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU EVER STOLE?

DID YOU EVER USE THIS SUPER POWER, SHARON STONE?

>> WELL, I DID, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE ME WHEN I WAS

I WAS IN PRAGUE WITH MY FRIEND, MIMI, AND I THINK IT WAS HER

AND I WAS TELLING THE STORY, AND THEY WERE LIKE, "NO, NO, THAT'S

NOT TRUE!" SO I PUT THE ENTIRE TEA SERVICE

IN MY FRIEND'S PURSE WHILE I WAS TELLING THE STORY, AND WHEN WE

GOT UP TO THE ROOM SHE HAD THE CREAMER AND THE SUGAR AND THE

AND I HEARD HER-- BECAUSE WE HAD A TWO-ROOM SUITE-- AND I HEARD

HER OPEN YOUR BAG AND LAUGH, THAT SHE HAD ALL THE HOTEL'S

>> Stephen: NOW, YOU'RE A PRACTICING BUDDHIST, I

>> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE A POPE FAN GIRL AT THE SAME TIME.

ARE YOU-- ARE YOU A POPE FAN OR A FRANCIS FAN?

>> WELL, I AM A FAN OF PEOPLE WHO STAND IN FOR SPIRIT, REALLY.

AND, I MEAN, I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS VERY SOPHISTICATED AND CAN

SPEAK MORE LANGUAGES THAN JUDGE, SAY, CHRISTIAN, OR AVENUES OF

CHRISTIANITY, LIKE CATHOLICISM OR AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD

PROBABLY SPEAKS ALL OF THOSE LANGUAGES AS A SOPHISTICATED

AND I BELIEVE THAT REALLY GOOD RELIGIOUS LEADERS STAND IN WHEN

PEOPLE DON'T FEEL GOD AND FEEL THAT LOVE, THAT FORGIVENESS,

THAT GRIEF COUNSELING, THAT SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE DOES NOT

ARRIVE IN THEIR LIFE, THAT THE REALLY GREAT THEOLOGISTS SHOW

AND I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE LIKE THE DALAI LAMA, PEOPLE LIKE THIS

AND HE'S A JESUIT, WHICH I THINK IS A FINE SORT OF RELIGIOUS

TEACHING, MUCH LIKE THE FRANCISCANS, WHO I REALLY

AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE LESS PIOUS AND REMOVED AND

AUTHORITARIAN AREN'T AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WORK

WITH THE PEOPLE AND ACKNOWLEDGE LIFE AS IT IS TODAY ARE THE

>> Stephen: BEING A REAL-DEAL MOVIE STAR, YOU'VE GOTTEN SOME

PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADVISED YOU OVER THE YEARS.

STEPHEN SODERBERGH CALLS YOU I BELIEVE SHARON ( BLEEP ) STONE.

SO SHARON ( BLEEP ) STONE, WHO HAS GIVEN YOU THE BEST ADVICE?
