>> twilight author stephenie meyer. music from boys like girls. and "this week censorship." >> we have [ bleep ] ourselves up.

>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- daniel craig. "twilight" author stephenie meyer. and music from boys like girls.

with cleto and the cletones. and now, first of all, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. welcome. gracias. that's very kind. thank you for coming. thank you for watching. i'm the host, my name is jimmy. i have a lot -- needless to say, i've got a lot to say tonight, you might not like any of what i have to say, but i'm going to say it, so hear me out, please. you're here on an exciting night. james bond himself, daniel craig is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] he's here tonight. he's here to remind us that we need to work out more. [ laughter ]

daniel has been traveling all over the world to promote this movie. from what i understand, at the airport this afternoon, he ate a bon. a cinna-bonn. if you like that, i got all kinds of great stuff for you. the newest -- some are saying best james bond movie ever premiered in theaters today, it's called "skyfall." this is a grittier james bond than usual. there aren't as many gadgets. there is normally a scene in every movie where q walks james around a room full of exploding cuff links and pens that shoot laser beams and stuff like that. this bond has a gun and a car and that's about it. it's very different from the original plan. the book that this movie was based on was very technology heavy and had a slightly different title, too. >> there isn't enough road left. >> take the bloody shot. ♪ >> welcome to the new mi-6, i'm q. i have some new gadget options for you. total chef double chocolate

fountain including ten plastic skewers. >> you must be joking. >> okay then. big foot, the garden yeti sculpture. >> q. >> then maybe you'd be more comfortable with the hand boxing rabbi. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: they changed it. it's not "skymall." it's "skyfall." just a differences of of a lett. our other guest tonight is the author of the "twilight" books, stephenie meyer. she has an interesting story. she was and is a mom in arizona who wrote a book. she sent it around to publishers, one of them liked it and the next thing you know, this happened. thousands of fans camping out in downtown los angeles outside the theater where the premiere of the new "twilight" movie is happening on monday. let me say this. there is no finer place to camp than downtown los angeles.

[ laughter ] going to be there for days. some of them have been there since yesterday. the premiere is on monday. at what point does camping end and homelessness begin? [ laughter ] in new york, they line up for gas, in l.a., we line up for vampires. [ cheers and applause ] you know, 75% of the gas stations in new york are still closed, either because of power outages or because they physically can't get gasoline to the pumps. to help alleviate some of the lines, mayor bloomberg implemented a gas rationing system. starting today, people with license plates ending with even number ors zero are allowed to buy gas on even days of the month. and cars ending on odd days can only fill up on odd days. what if your license plate says "playa," like mine does? what would i do then? some people are actually selling gas on craigslist for $20 a gallon. you could get a human baby and a

futon on craigslist for $20. if you live in new york, and you're worried about conserving gas, here is a little trick. you know, you can double your gas mileage just by adding a pint of coffee-mate to the tank. it's true. and it makes your exhaust smell like hazelnut. it's very nice. hopefully they will get that figured out. as if the gas crisis wasn't bad enough, yesterday, facebook went down for two minutes. [ laughter ] two incredibly productive minutes. for two minutes, we all knew what it must be like to be amish. poor guillermo, i have to say, guillermo was hit maybe the hardest of anyone. he had a status to update and he was forced to do it the old fashioned way. >> facebook is down! i got to update my status! o-m-g, cannot wait to see "twilight" tonight. freaking out. weekend is here, going to get cray-cray. tgif, yo.

this cat is so pretty. i want this cat now. go, go, go, like it! ooh! >> jimmy: oh. you know, your acting gets better and better and then worse and then worse and then better again and then worse and then better again. >> up and down. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] fortunately everything at facebook is back up and running. but i thought this was interesting. myspace, apparently myspace has been down for six months and nobody notice. [ laughter ] this is silly. you know the song "call me maybe," it was a big hit. ukrainian singer named azza is claiming that carly rae jepsen ripped her off. she says she wrote a song that's very similar and i have to say, i don't know who this woman is, but she makes an extremely come peopling argument. >> is "call me maybe" a rip-off of this song? ♪

the ukrainian singer who wrote and performed it thinks so. today, she filed a federal lawsuit alleging copyright infringement. at issue, this lyric -- ♪ call me and here is my number ♪ >> i was driving and i heard "call me, here is my number." not, take my number, i give you my number, here is my number. >> jimmy: wow. right. here is my number. not there is my number, not -- [ laughter ] not hey, look, it's a number! here is my number. plain as day. she's going to be a very wealthy ukrainian soon. [ laughter ] the u.s. postal service announced yesterday they are expecting this year's holiday season to be their busiest ever and also their slowest ever, so -- [ laughter ] leave them alone and go bother fedex. the postal service, probably the only business in america that complains about being busy, right? still no election results from florida yet. florida is the post office of states.

the election has been over for three days, but already, there's a new survey that says hillary clinton is favored to win the iowa caucuses in 2016. [ laughter ] you think they could have at least waited until we peeled the "i voted" stickers off our jackets. survey showed hillary clinton with 58% of the vote. vice president biden with 17%. new york governor andrew cuomo at 6% and massachusetts senator elect elizabeth warren with 3%. so, to summarize, a woman who has not yet expressed any interest in running is well ahead of some other people who respect r aren't running. good study. [ laughter ] we can't let them do this again. no christmas decorations in october, no election talk until -- october 2015, right? that's reasonable. [ cheers and applause ] meanwhile, some big sex news out of washington today. the director of the cia, general david petraeus turned in his resignation today while

admitting to having an extramarital affair. in a statement to the cia, he said, after being married for over 37 years, i showed extreme little poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. such behavior is unacceptable. both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. this afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation. i guess it makes sense, if the head of the cia can't even keep his affair secret, he probably shouldn't be the head of the cia. [ laughter ] hate to see that happen. [ applause ] maybe he can run for head of the secret service. [ laughter ] are you familiar with the name pat robertson? pat robertson hosts -- he's an old guy, he hosts "the 700 club." it airs every day on the christian broadcasting network. pat seems to be getting a little loose in his old age. yesterday, he had a little segment about porn addiction. he has a young co-host on the show, he tried to get her involved, and watch. >> you are a mother. >> yes. >> and you are a sweet christian

girl. lady. >> absolutely. >> all right. do you see anything in porn that attracts you at all? >> no, pat. these questions that you ask me, i'm like, really -- >> i'm trying to get your attitude. we always thought this was a male thing. >> yeah, yeah. >> a boy thing. a guy thing. >> yeah. >> but now, it looks like 30% of women -- >> yeah. >> are involved in pornography. >> yeah. >> jimmy: pornography, that's a -- [ laughter ] combination of pornography and let leper si. there's a guy in north carolina, my the name of jonathan craft. he's planning to be the first person to fly across the atlantic ocean using helium balloons. this is jonathan. with his lifeboat. next summer, he's going to attach 365 helium balloons to it. like party balloons, to make the flight in maine to paris. he could become the first man in

history to die imitating a pixar movie. [ laughter ] that seems like a dumb thing. [ applause ] what do you think the wright brothers would say about this? this is why we invented the airplane, what the hell are you doing? [ laughter ] this is interesting. a new study out of taiwan has found that methamphetamines may help flight tight the flu. now that i think about it, i've never seen one person sneeze on "breaking bad." it must be true. the researcher exposed human lung cells to small amounts of meth and infected them with the flu. after about 30 hours, the cells showed a significant drop in the virus, so -- in other words, starve a cold, speed a fever is what you should do. the good news is, your flu is gone, the bad news is, so is all of your money and your teeth. the study was released on tuesday, but already the major drug -- one major drug company is already leaping into action. >> i asked my doctor. >> i asked my doctor. >> i asked the [ bleep ] out of

my doctor. >> don't let seasonal flu stop you from living life to the fullest. ask your drug dealer if meth is right for you. meth is not for everyone. side effects include dry mouth, irritability, decreased appetite, bad breath, loss of teeth and hair, paraknnoiaparan psychosis, hepatitis, homelessness, larceny, murder, prostitution, cannibalism and a slow spiral into insanity and death. if you find yourself digging up graves to find stuff to sell or beating your best friend with a tire iron, stop using meth and consult your doctor. >> my flu symptoms are gone and now i can fly! >> meth. the nighttime coughing, sniffling, sneezing, aching, fever, never, ever, ever go to sleep medicine. >> help me. >> available behind walgreens. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's a gentleman that works here, his name is brad. one of our employees doing a little acting there. see, we could have used that kind of enthusiasm from you, guillermo.

>> next time. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] and, one more thing. another week has come to a close, which means it's time for our weekly tribute to the fcc, where we bleep and blur things whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> president obama asked his supporters to vote for revenge. i ask the american people instead to vote for love of [ bleep ]. >> whether it was the elderly woman at the airport that grabbed my [ bleep ], said, miss claire, i'm going to [ bleep ] hard for you. >> she can [ bleep ] his friend. >> to get home, to hug my wife, my kids and play with my [ bleep ]. >> in the next movie, you are kind of a [ bleep ] vampire. hard to make that adjustment every day? >> how crooked has romney's [ bleep ] been and what affect has that had on the voters? >> a late night host is giving up his [ bleep ]. >> yeah, you could be its new owner. and have a piece of jimmy kimmel.

>> i am here at the brazilian blow [ bleep ] bar, where we are getting ready. look at these gorgeous ladies. >> folks have been dancing, waving flags, [ bleep ] each other. >> going to be [ bleep ] for afternoon snack and it's definitely going to be [ bleep ] come 7:00 p.m. >> the american people reminded us that while our [ bleep ] has been hard, while our [ bleep ] has been long, we have [ bleep ] ourselves up. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have a good show for you tonight. the author of the "twilight" series, stephenie meyer is here. we have music from boys like girls. and we'll be right back with 007, daniel craig, so stick around. hey babe...who's that?

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: how are you? >> i'm good, i'm good. >> jimmy: very good to see you. wow, what a -- [ cheers and applause ] >> nice. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i think some members -- >> there you are. i thought they were here for "twilight." >> jimmy: they were, but now all of a sudden, team edward and jacob have been dumped for team daniel, i think. [ cheers and applause ] >> nice. >> jimmy: i think i heard someone say "twilight" schmilight when you came out here. how is it going? by the way, what a great movie this is. you did a great job. >> thank you. >> jimmy: i almost thought i was going to have to shoot you when you came out, it was -- >> it was that good? >> jimmy: it was that good, yeah. i did get a little hint of -- oh, james bond is here. and when you are dressed up so nicely, too, you seem like james bond. >> last time i came here, i wore jeans and a t-shirt. time before that, you were

wearing a tux. so, i thought i needed to even it out. >> jimmy: thank you. nice of you to do that. and -- it must be so great to be james bond. i mean -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: i feel like -- >> yeah, it is. it is. >> jimmy: i feel like i will never have the chance to experience that, you know. >> why don't you come and visit me next time we do one? >> jimmy: you will let me stand in the spot and hold the gun? >> i will, yeah. >> jimmy: i will absolutely do that. you signed up for two more of these, right? >> that's right, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: roger moore, who, for, i think, there's -- i think there's a phenomenon that happens, whichever james bond was the james bond when you were, like, a teenage boy, that's the james bond you think is the real one. for me it was roger moore. he says you're the best james bond of all. he said you're better than him. [ cheers and applause ] better than sean connery. >> ah -- i like roger moore, what can i say? >> jimmy: now you're going to have to start saying you think roger moore is the best. >> i have been. in interviews, that's been happening. i heard he said that and ever since, he's my number one.

>> jimmy: you started shooting "skyfall" a year ago this week. >> that's right. >> jimmy: did it go by quickly? does it seem like a year ago? >> we started prepping the movie about two years ago, so, it's been a long road. so it doesn't -- it has flown by. i kind of think, while you're doing it, it's a bit of a grind, but now we're here, it's out and people are seeing it. it's like, i don't know, you know -- >> jimmy: you recruited the director of the movie, sam mendes. >> i did. >> jimmy: how does that happen? >> it's a show business story. >> jimmy: okay. >> do you have time? >> jimmy: this is showbiz. >> i was at hugh jackman's birthday party. >> jimmy: okay, great, excell t excellent. >> it's true. and -- >> jimmy: wolverine and james bond hanging out together. >> exactly. >> jimmy: i like it. >> we did a show on broadway, it was called "wolverine and james bond." [ laughter ] anyway, so, it was late in the evening, i'd had a few too many drinks and sam turned up, he'd been at another party and we started talking about the next movie, and i was picking his brain, because he's a director

and i wanted to sort of see what he thought. and i had a flash of inspiration. i said, why don't you do it? and then woke up the following morning sober and realized it probably wasn't my job to offer that. and phoned up the producers rather sheepishly, said, i've asked sam to be the next director. they were fine about it. >> jimmy: really? they were good with that? >> it kind of worked out. i would have blamed the booze if it didn't. >> jimmy: i believe quentin tarantino made some overtures in the press saying he wanted to direct the movie. >> overtures. is that what you call it? >> jimmy: yeah, i think so. >> that's him telling me. >> jimmy: is this where he told you he wanted to direct the movie? >> yeah. do i look slightly worried? >> jimmy: you look like you want to get into the men's room and he won't let you. [ laughter ] what was going on here? >> um -- [ laughter ] um, yeah, just that. literally just that. >> jimmy: don't you think quentin tarantino would be a great choice to direct a bond

movie? >> yes. we're on live television. yes. of course he'd be a great choice. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but really, some '70s funk music, maybe you'd have an afro. >> that could work. >> jimmy: hitting somebody with a samurai sword. it would be good. you recruited javier bardem to be in the movie. >> i was less drunk that time. >> jimmy: you should get a producer's credit. >> my producer is backstage. tell her. >> jimmy: you should get something. i mean, because javier bardem, what a score that is. >> sam's idea. i thought it was brilliant. and, again, it was another show business party. i honestly don't go -- >> jimmy: you went to two. >> i went to two and met sam and javier and i said, you know, come and do it. the thing is, he always wanted to be a bond villain, so it was -- >> jimmy: why don't these people tell someone when they want to be involved. seems like they should mention it. but he's great. he's got the blond hair in the movie -- >> she's special. >> jimmy: he's kind of terrifying in a way.

very, very, very creepy. you -- i love seeing the aston martin, i hope i'm not giving anything key away. >> no. >> jimmy: that was kind of a great moment. you open the garage and you get in the old car. >> yeah. >> jimmy: did you ever imagine when you were a boy that one day you'd be driving james bond's aston martin? >> no, i mean, we used -- we used to do crazy stuff when we were kids. one of the things we used to do, we used to go rallying in a car, not a particularly good car, but in the woods with friends and we did this thing where we would do it for awhile, it would get boring. and at night, we'd switch the lights off and do it. >> jimmy: drive fast with the lights off? >> i don't know why i'm still here. [ laughter ] but i actually still to this day really like -- on the movie, i get driven, i get taught to drive by these really great drivers who are kind of professional drivers and to this day, you know, every time we do it, i drive a bit and i kind of take the car around, spin it around a bit and every time we finish, i say, now you drive me.

because that's the biggest thrill when you get a really good driver and take you on a course. i giggle like a girl all the way around. >> jimmy: really? [ laughter ] >> biggest thrill. >> jimmy: well, that's what -- james bond giggling like a girl. that could open up a whole -- we're going to take a break, come back, we're going to see a clip from the new movie. daniel craig is here with us. we'll be right back.

>> jimmy: you see what you've done here? [ cheers and applause ] because of you, these women have bedazzled themselves and left their husbands at home. with the children. >> i'm sure they're very happy that that's where they are. >> jimmy: this has to be an overwhelming thing. this came out of your head. you had a dream, right, about a girl who fell in love with a vampire, even though you never met a real vampire. >> never. no. >> jimmy: you wrote it down and your sister encouraged you to send it to publishers? >> yes. i did not really think of it as a book and i'm a very shy person naturally and so it really took my big sister emily was like, you have to do it. she kicked my butt out the door. >> jimmy: did you reward her in some way? >> she gets to read everything first. [ laughter ] is that good enough? >> jimmy: no, it's not, no. [ laughter ] you definitely should buy her a boat or something like that. [ laughter ]

so, you sent it to, who? how do you handle that once you've written a book? >> i sent out queries, one-page, hi, this is what i wrote, please love me, to a bunch of agents, you know, to see if anybody wanted to represent me. i didn't know that before that writers have agents, like, athletes and stuff. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> intimidating, yeah. >> jimmy: so you were really completely a rookie in every way. >> oh, absolutely. >> jimmy: what did the agents do? they send it to publishers? >> yes. once you have an agent, then you don't have to do anything else. they do all the work. >> jimmy: what was the response that you got back from these book companies, agents or whatever? >> mostly rejections, couple people ignored me. i didn't send out a lot because rejection, you know, i tend to go with that. >> jimmy: yeah, right, yeah. >> and one person wanted to see more. >> jimmy: one person wanted to see more. who was that person, by the way? >> well, it was my agents at writer's house, her name is jodie. >> jimmy: okay. and the other people that didn't want to see more, did they give

you specific reasons why? >> mostly it was form letters and there was one, though, that was, we just don't think that there's a place right now for vampire literature. [ laughter ] that was -- >> jimmy: right now, huh? wow. well, that person -- do you call that person and cackle into the telephone? >> no, no. i thought about, you know, maybe attaching the writeup of the story, sending it back with a copy of the letter, but -- >> jimmy: do you think they know? do you think they say, oh, my god, i passed on "twilight"? do you think they remember it? >> i doubt it. i mean, maybe. they didn't read it because it was just a one-page summary and it had a different title. >> jimmy: what was the title then? >> i didn't have a good title so i called it "forks" because it was a place holder. >> jimmy: that could have been the name. "forks." >> could have. and the next one would have been "spoons." >> jimmy: the twi-moms would have been forks. they would have been the forkers or something. >> they like it. >> jimmy: wait. you would have been the mother

forkers is what you would have been. uh-huh. you dodged a bullet. so, how many books have been sold so far? >> oh, i have no idea. absolutely no idea. >> jimmy: like, many millions -- >> a lot of them. >> jimmy: like tens of millions? >> i don't know, maybe. >> jimmy: have you bought -- did you buy a castle or do you have, like, a moat to protect yourself? >> it would be hard to do in arizona. you don't want to waste water. >> jimmy: there are a couple of castles in arizona. >> there are. no moats. >> jimmy: there's the scottish castle, but probably not anywhere near where you live, but -- >> i haven't seen that one. >> jimmy: buy that. >> i don't know if it's up for sale. >> jimmy: let's say -- i know this is the final installment of the movie series, but is it possible, that in, like, ten years, like, with spider-man, they would start over and, would you support another "twilight" series with new actors and a

whole new gang? >> i'm sure it's possible they might start over, as to whether i would support it, it would depend on what they were doing, exactly. >> jimmy: i see. you were very cautious about -- you have to worry that hollywood is going to ruin what you've written, right? >> it happens all the time. >> jimmy: yeah, it happens most of the time, i think. >> adaptations are tricky. >> jimmy: how do you control something like that? >> you can't, usually. i mean, i got really lucky. there was an early script, before i was with summit, that did go a little bit off of the -- >> jimmy: in what way? >> you know, the speedboats and the night vision goggles and bella's got a gun -- >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: turn it into a james bond movie. >> i think that was the idea. >> jimmy: wow. >> trying to reel the boys in for a long time with this one. >> jimmy: oh, i see. to try to get the guys interested in this thing, when they realize, the focus, you get the women interested and the guys will come along, whether they like it or not. >> exactly. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: will you write anymore

books in this vein or are you onto other things now? >> i am onto other things. i never say absolutely not, just because i don't want someone to call me a liar in ten years if i change my mind. but right now, it's vampires, i've been doing that for a long time. >> jimmy: would it be a good idea and the answer to this is yes, if edward and bella's daughter married harry potter and you combined -- [ applause ] >> that never occurred to me before. >> jimmy: we have to work on a project together. i think mummies have been underrepresented. >> it's been awhile. >> jimmy: it could be great, too. when they unwrap themselves and then it's like, oh, my god, it's some beautiful woman, beautiful taylor lautner-esque man ripping himself of his gauze. incredible. >> very sexy. >> jimmy: the whole movie could be them getting undressed. mummies, som bea s zombies, mumbies, we could combine the

two. >> very easy script. the mummy unwinds over and over again. >> jimmy: i like that title. "the mummy unwinds." >> perfect. >> jimmy: another castle, another moat, whole thing. congratulations. you really created this world that so many -- that these people who come to our show tonight, want out of the regular world and into yours. they're going to be camping -- >> i know. >> jimmy: will you go to see the movie with a crowd of paying customers? >> if i do, i -- i've done that before. i won't do it on, like, opening night again because you literally hear nothing. it was just screaming and shushing the whole time. it was hard to pay attention. >> jimmy: you may sneak into one of the theaters -- >> yeah, you can put the costume on. sneak in the back. >> jimmy: the magic johnson theater would be a fun one for you to go to, you know, check out the movie down there. well, congratulations again on all of this and this big journey that is now complete, or, is it?
