Libby: It's always a pleasure to interview a bride and a new mom--although in my day you didn't do it at the same time. When I was young your little one would have been called premature.
Now, Catherine, you're Welch?

Catherine: Welsh.

Libby: That's what I said, you came from a place---Good Lord these Welch names are impossible to pronounce--

Catherine: Swansea...

Libby: You see? I couldn't choke that out on a bet. To refresh our audience just in case they were hiding under a rock you were recently married to Kirk Douglas--Hollywood royalty.

Catherine: Michael.

Libby: Beg pardon?

Catherine: Michael Douglas. Kirk is his father.

Libby: Oh, big diff. You've got a brand new baby boy, Dylan Michael Douglas. I've seen pictures of your little one, he's inherited your luscious raven hair but I think he favors his father.
It could be the miles and miles of wrinkles and creases or it could be the cloudy stare, in any case I was wondering was the child named after that famous Welch drunk Dylan Thomas?

Catherine: Poet, he was a poet.

Libby: Tomato, tomahto. Catherine, you are currently starring in a film with hubby Kirk called Traffic. Very important film.

Catherine: I think so.

Libby: It's about time that this was addressed I'm not kidding it's got out of control.

Catherine: I agree. It focuses on the issues surrounding the United States' certification of Mexico as its partner ....

Libby: Well, I'm sure that's all very interesting but do you think it will change things?

Catherine: I hope so.

Libby: Two hours it took me to get to work this morning--Two hours! I admire someone you for taking a stand against this. If I had a nickel for every hour I was stuck on a freeway I'd have a Lexus. My hat goes off to both of you. I'm telling you, if this film causes my travel time to be cut by even 5 minutes I'm sending you a Hickory Farms basket.
Now, moving on, Catherine, there was a lot of criticism about the age difference between you and your new hubby. Mostly from me but a lot of other people have talked about it as well. There is 35 years between you and Kirk.

Catherine: Michael.

Libby: Whatever. He's 66 and you're 31 does it bother you that when you're 62 he'll be 132?

Catherine: I think you should check the math on that.

Libby: Why do people always want to blame the math?

Catherine: I don't know why age is always an issue! Love is love plain and simple. Age has nothing to do with it.

Libby: I agree there is too much emphasis on that. I personally feel that it should not come into the equation. But I'm wondering why it doesn't cut both ways like why can't I go to a gala mall-opening with my twenty year old pool boy Peter without tongues wagging?

Catherine: I don't know why either. It should work both ways. People have to realize that when feelings are involved, true sincere feelings of love, age simply does not matter.

Libby: I'm not so sure about the sincere feeling in my case it's just the thought of all this young eager flesh and how envious my friends would be.
Personally I think you're quite smart. Now you don't have to worry about taking care of yourself so much, the youth thing is going to work for a long time. When you get old and he starts looking for a newer model he'll be too old to do anything about it.

Catherine: Could you talk about something else please?

Libby: How has your life changed since you married Michael? For example is there a lot more napping involved than you initially thought?

Catherine: I'm not going to answer that, it's a stupid question.
