RICHARD JENKINS - "OLIVE KITTERIDGE"

 

 

 

RICHARD JENKINS:  That was Lady Gaga that just gave me this (laughter.) "So, Dad, what did you do last night?"  "Not much." 

I would like to thank HBO.  I would like to thank Playtone.  Now I would like to thank the incredible women who made "Olive Kitteridge" happen, and there's about a hundred thousand of them, but, of course, Jane Anderson, Elizabeth Strout, Lisa Cholodenko, the fabulous -- you think I don't know her, do you? -- the fabulous Zoe Kazan.  And I want to say thank you to Frances McDormand for giving me this opportunity, for calling me and saying, "I want you to come on this journey with me." 

And thank you, Fran, for letting me surf your enthusiasm and your artistry for four months.  It was a ball.  And to Sarah and Adam and Andy and Ashley and my wife who has been my wife for 46 years.  I love you.  Thank you.  Thank you very much.
