A Conversation with Stephen Colbert & Meryl Streep at NJPAC 12.01.18

“...Sarah Paulson was raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Italy.  Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem.  Where are their birth certificates? [...] Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people, is Canadian.  &  Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, is here for playing an Indian raised in Tasmania.  Hollywood is crawling with outsiders  &  foreigners. If you kick 'em all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football  &  mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. [...] An actor's only job is to enter the lives of people who are different from us  &  let you feel what that feels like. [...] As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art.”
