ISCA: Do you compose as well?

SOHEIL: That's not my calling. If you don't start as a child...

LEELEE: They say the younger generation has a terrible permanent case of Attention Deficit Disorder. I don't really think that exists. I think everybody's attention span is so, so short. And I don't think they're used to being able to sit through a really, really long piece of music that's not jumping all over the place.

SOHEIL: That's right.

LEELEE: So I don't know what, being in the classical music field, you can do, but I feel that if there's a way to "MTV" it- and I know it sounds strange- but let's say you were to get a really artistic, inventive director to direct a video...

DAMON: Put some rap on it.

LEELEE: If you had kind of an artistic, crazy video that went with a powerful, showy piece that crescendoed, with a kaleidoscope of bizarre images, I think that could capture the attention.

SOHEIL: Chopin's "The Ocean" would be a good piece for that.

LEELEE: All right, concepts: Here we go, "The Ocean." What everybody thinks would be under the ocean when you're swimming- everyone's worst nightmare- the most frightening video clip. It becomes very showy and over the top.

DAMON: You've got a million-dollar video there.

GOTHAM: Leelee, what's the most fun movie you've done?

LEELEE: Sometimes you have the most fun doing like the worst films. I just did a film all in French called L'Idole and we shot in Paris. That was really nice.

DAMON: I bet. You spoke French in it?

LEELEE: Yes. My dad's French. It was all about a friendship between myself and an elderly Chinese gentleman of about 80 years old.

GOTHAM: That sounds kinky.

DAMON: Sexual?

LEELEE: Just a friendship. There were two loves scenes with another gentleman, a younger one.

ISCA: How was that?

LEELEE: Very strange, and not sexy at all. This talented young actor refused to wear anything...

DAMON: He was buck naked?

LEELEE: Yes. We had a love scene on a wooden floor.

ISCA: Wide bonds?

GOTHAM: Splinters?

LEELEE: I wore a nightgown and he wouldn't wear anything. It was machismo. And he wouldn't wear deodorant.

EVERYONE: How very French!!

LEELEE: But he's fantastic in the film. I did a film recently where I had a very small part but then I got to play John Cusack's mistress. That was fun. I'd never been the mistress before.

DAMON: You're moving up.

GOTHAM: Who did you work with that you really loved? Any legends?

LEELEE: Stanley Kubrick, a lot. He was a master.

GOTHAM: I liked Eyes Wide Shut. It induced a dream state in me.

LEELEE: His films are so varied. He goes into a lot of different directions. Whatever anybody's last work is, that's what you expect.

DAMON: [To Leelee] Do you party a lot? Hang out?

GOTHAM: Love that segue.

LEELEE: I like dancing. I like walking around New York and lying down on the sidewalk. It's very interesting to watch people step over you and be confused. When I laugh very hard, I have to lie down on the sidewalk.

GOTHAM: Remember in Eyes Wide Shut when Leelee was this nubile thing in the little white underwear?

LEELEE: Blue underwear. I tried on 40 pairs. I was 14. I didn't have any breasts at that point. I wore those fake silicone things called "Moniques."

SOHEIL: I loved you in that movie. I fantasized about you after that.
