I want to talk about 		"The Disaster Artist,"

Past simple

which I loved, and want 				to get to the Golden Globes.

But, one of the things that 		happened at the Golden Globes,

and obviously, this happened 						in the last couple of days

You were wearing a Time's Up button like a lot of guys

at the show and some women 		during your time on stage said

that was hypocritical, they went to Twitter and said that

it was hypocritical based on 		their experiences that

they have had with you. 						They made some allegations.

I wonder if you have read those tweets, and if so,

I was sent a couple 		of the tweets, so yeah,

I think -- Well, the ones I read were not accurate,

but one of the things that 				I've learned is that this is

a conversation that 						obviously needs to be had.

There are people, women and others, who have not been a part

of this conversation, 						and I truly believe

and why I was wearing the pin is 						that they need to be a part

of this conversation, 		and so I support that.

I heard you mention last night on Stephen Colbert's show

Have you reached out 				to her as someone --

And, are you not curious 						as to why she would do that

-Yes, I had a great -- 						I had a great relationship

She took the tweet down, 				I don't know.

I really don't. 				-Not curious enough, though,

to reach out to her as someone 		that you've had

a good relationship with before 				and to try to understand why

she would have done that? 						-[ Sighs ]

I just -- 		I guess I'm just letting it be.

-The last thing I'll say, or ask about this, I should say,

this moment, you know, I think this is an exciting time because

it's allowing us all remember, 						especially as men,

that there were other people in different perspectives

Does this Time's Up movement 				and this moment we're having

right now, does it make you 				look back at all and question

any of your behavior 				in the past based on

this new perspective 						we're getting on how women

-I think what I really learned 				and being here and this week

-Mm-hmm. 						-I mean, it was so powerful

amazing things from 						some amazing women.

-Like I said, there are stories 				that need to get out.

There are people 		that need to be heard.

I have my own side of 				this story, but I believe in,

you know, these people that have 				been underrepresented getting

their stories out enough 		that I will, you know,

hold back things that I could say just because

And if I have to take a knock because I'm not going to,

you know, try and, you know, 		actively refute things,

then I will, because I believe in it that much.

-Well, I want to also move on 		to the film you made...

-...and thank you for speaking to me about those things.
