it's monday, january 30, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm charlie rose. mitt romney gained more ground as newt gingrich called him dishonest. we'll ask the former house speaker approximate that and his plans to stay in the race until the con veng. i'm gayle king. more than a dozen teenagers in the same town have a mystery illness, but the doctors say it's all in their heads. we'll speak with one of the doctors at the center of this controversial case and when i see you at 8:00, how long hours on the job are hurting millions of americans. i'm erica hill. facebook is expected to go public this week selling $10 billion in stock.

what will it mean for your account. kids give healthy lunches an f. we begin with a look at today's eye-opener. we begin with a look at today's eye-opener. your world in 90 seconds. captioning funded by cbs i am in fact the legit reagan movement. tries to slow mitt romney's surge in florida. >> he's finding excuses everywhere he can. he's going from station to station complaining >> he tries to tear down whoever he is running against. what he says isn't true. >> wall street money. >> we're at the -- >> it's a nasty race. i've never seen anything like it. >> vote for newt. annoy a liberal. >> o occupy protests flare up following weekend clashes. >> cops on one end. we turned around shall there are cops on the other end. >> there are awful acts and ten people died. >> in gainesville, florida.

>> drivers blinded by fog and smoke by a brushfire. it may have been been a case of arson. >> hearing crashes and explosions, hearing people scream. >> their heads were pressed against the roof trying to get breath. big news on wall street on the announcement that facebook is going public. >> the man rescued pulled from the rio grande after days stuck in the mud possibly. all that and all that matters. >> oh, my god, oh, my god. oh, my god. >> and the actor goes to the cast of the help. >> on "cbs this morning." >> how do you launch the nuclear response from this airplane? >> do you pick up the phone. >> don't touch anything, scott. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with a final push to the florida primary. there's 24 hours left before voting begins. >> the latest polls show mitt romney is well ahead of newt gingrich in the republican race.

political correspondent jan crawford is in gainesville. good morning, jan. >> reporter: good morning, guys. with the polls showing gingrich plummeting here in florida, he's going on the attack. listen, it's getting personal. he's attacking romney's character and his integrity. >> why can't you be candid? you cannot be president of the united states if you cannot be honest and candid with the american people. i don't know how you debate a person in a civil -- sitting there, being civil when he stands there and he just blatantly doesn't tell the truth. >> the attacks infuriated the romney campaign and romney last night answered back in an interview with cbs news political director, john dickerson. >> speaker gingrich is not revealing himself to be the kind of pefrn that i think you would want to be seen in this race for president. we look for qualities in a president, many qualities but not whining and excuses. >> gingrich came into this state a week ago on top of the polls

and with all the momentum. even an interview by his second ex-wife mary ann who claimed gingrich wanted an open marriage to continue an affair with a woman who is now his wife. he scored a victory in south carolina. after two weak debate performances and stepped up attacks by romney, gingrich slipped badly, especially with women voters. in south carolina, gingrich won the female vote. but in a miami herald poll, romney is up among women by 19 points. gingrich's personal history is having more of an impact here with conservative voters like frances lewellen johnson. >> we all forgive. we do. i cannot vote for a man with that kind of baggage. i just can't do it. >> reporter: of course, gingrich has suggested he can beat romney if rick santorum could get out of the race. they've been splitting the conservative race. and over the weekend santorum went back home to pennsylvania.

his three-year-old daughter was hospitalized with pneumonia. last night he told reporters that she's made a miraculous recovery and he'll be back on the campaign trail this afternoon. in last night's interview with cbs news, romney also had this to say about newt gingrich and his campaign. >> unfortunately, in this campaign when the pressure of a campaign is getting higher, the wrong side of newt gingrich is being revealed. it's actually quite sad and painful. >> so now we asked newt gingrich about that. he's in jacksonville, florida. good morning, mr. speaker. >> good morning. >> you heard what mitt romney said. sad. >> mitt romney is a guy who was raised with an immense amount of money from goldman sachs who was the biggest financier. obama's biggest financier, outspending nine to one here. george sorrows in europe said there's no difference between a obama presidency and romney presidency as far as he's kirnd.

he'll get along with either one fine. governor romney was a liberal in massachusetts, pro abortion, pro tax increase, pro gun control. he's bought an amazing amount of ads to try to pretend he's somebody he's not. i think he'll find this a long campaign. i don't think the republican party is going to nominate somebody who whose romney care is essentially the same as obama care. i think we have bigger issues to fight over. he can do anything he wants, on philosophical issues, he's for all practical purposes a liberal and i'm a cobs conservative. why so many conservatives, including people who served with you and people who are part of the conservative media grudge and ann coulter attacking you? >> in a lot of cases because they're part of the establish. ment look at their ties and where they're money comes from. the new york and washington establishments together want somebody they can trust, somebody like romney who praised

secretary treasurer geithner. somebody comfortable with his biggest donor getting 13, $20 billion in taxpayer money. they'll say and do virtually anything to keep the system alive. i'm a genuine outsider, i know a lot about washington having served as speaker. i have none of the establishment ties and i will shake the system up. they don't want to be shaken up. they're comfortable presiding over the decay as long as they get to keep playing their games. >> there are those that say you are angry and want to get even with romney. that is what drives you. >> you know, there are people who reduce politics to pettiness. this is about very big issues. the obama administration has just launched an attack on christianity so severe that every single church in florida had a letter read from the bishops yesterday all across the country cardinal dolan was leading an effort to explain that freedom of religion is being attacked by obama. the romney care does the same

thing. it has tax-paid abortions. it put planned parenthood, the largest abortion provider in america in the bill. no group to life groups in the bill. planned parenthood is. romney approved taking a clause from catholic hospitals. >> i'm running because there are big issues. do you believe in an america dominated by the new york and washington establishment or do you believe in an america where people matter more than money? >> do you approve of sarah palin talking about what happened to you as stalinesque. >> i think she's correct to say that all of the elements of the old establishment are in a moment of hysteria. we nominated a moderate and he lost. we nominated a moderate in 2008 he lost badly. if we nominate a massachusetts liberal, i don't see how he defends romney care as different from obama care. i don't see how he defends gun

control as being different or for that matter his tax increases being different. >> how do you see your route to the nomination? not in florida, where then? >> first of all, i think it's closing here in florida. i think the next 24 hours will make a big difference. when floridians learned that george soros thinks that barack obama and mitt romney is okay and newt gingrich is a threat because he's a genuine conservative. the next 24 hours things change. >> i don't think you think that george soros' opinion will be at issue in a republican primary in florida. >> i think when you have a left wing billionaire tell europeans that he thinks romney's just fine because he's just as much after pay part of the establishment as obama and he can live with romney and goldman sachs. romney will manage the decay, he's not going to change wash ton. >> i have still not come to an

understanding why so many people that work with you are concerned about you being the nominee. this is not people from the establishment necessarily. i mean, these are people who were with you, including joe scarborough, tom delay and others who were part of what the revolution that gingrich made. >> look, take the case of delay. i can't imagine anybody in the news media is going to cite tom delay. he represented a fundamentally different approach to authority than i did. he got in enormous trouble for it. in many ways he was the architect of the 2006 disaster. looki i was a very tough speaker of the house. the fact is that we balanced the federal budget, passed a bill in 1997. >> you can say the same thing about tom coburn then. >> i think coburn and i have differences. he would not have compromised with bill clinton. we signed a balanced budget act, the first tax cut in 16 years. we signed welfare reform. lindsey graham is a good person

to talk to. he will tell you that his view of what it takes to govern is dramatically different than in the 1990s because he's concluded that the things i did actually got something done, it wasn't ideological approximates touring. if you wanted a balanced budget, we did it for four years. >> i have to go now mr. speaker. thank you so much. i hope to see you again. >> good. speaker gingrich from jacksonville. if gingrich is unable to pull off another comeback in florida, that gives romney a big advantage going into the next stage of the gop campaign. >> chief washington correspondent, host of face the nation, bob schieffer is watching from miami. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. i'm listening to that. >> tell me what's going on with with newt gingrich at this moment and how he's trying to define this election in florida and the rest of the primary process. >> reporter: well, what's happened to newt gingrich is he suddenly finds himself the victim of unintended

consequences. newt gingrich is a fine debater and built his whole campaign about debating. in south carolina the romney people decided they'd better hire a debate coach so romney could do better in these debates and lo and behold he came in to florida and suddenly became a good debater. newt gingrich has made mitt romney a good debater. i think that's one of the reasons that romney has surged, the other reason and you never want to underestimate the impact of negative advertising. romney has just loaded up the television stations and the radio here with negative ads about newt gingrich. it worked against gingrich way back there in iowa. and it is working here in florida. i don't think there's any doubt about that. and gingrich is going across florida saying it's wrong, they're lies and it's not fair. >> well, he's trying to respond to it. he has taken this attack. he's also now calling, i don't

know -- he's now calling mitt romney a liberal. he was calling him a moderate before. >> yes. >> he's elevated it up. i mean, that's the worst thing you can say about somebody in these republican primaries. now is to call them a liberal. that's what gingrich is calling him. >> bob, on face the nation, the new one hour face the nation, we should point out, had an interesting comparison for president obama. let's take a listen. >> we're going to talk about our own little captain ska continue owe, which is president obama abandoning the ship here in the united states. more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president. >> what did you call president obama? >> i called him captain the that a bon dand the costa concordia. how is that getting from republicans? >> it certainly caught my attention when he said it. if you heard me, i said what did

you just say. i wasn't quite sure he said that. i think it raised a few eyebrows. this is where we are in in campaign right now. this thing has gotten really down and dirty. it's bringing out a lot of things like that from all sides. i don't think we've seen the last of it yet. i mean, these ads every day, they get nastier and i see no reason that -- no indication that it's going to get any different. >> bob, there is this. in south carolina, newt gingrich made this anti-establishment, anti-elite narrative work for him. does that have traction in florida and throughout the rest of this process? >> well, so far we haven't seen that. but i think, charlie, i think one of the most significant things that's happened is the day before yesterday when sarah palin came out that thing on her face where she really attacked mitt romney for the attacks he was making on newt gingrich,

called it stalinesque and all of that, what that really shows you, i think, is the tea party still has not totally accepted mitt romney. there's still a great divide between the left and the right in the republican party right now. and that's why i think newt gingrich will hang around. until that's settled, i think he's going to stay in this thing. >> thank you. also toss florida this morning. a different story. interstate 75, south of gainesville is reopened to traffic this morning after a horrific multivehicle pileup. ten people were killed in the crash sunday. see the aftermath there. mark strassmann is in gainesville this morning. good morning. >> good morning. erica. both sides of i-75 were reopened and reclosed again for 24 miles because of visibility issues. the same sort of smoke and fog that caused the pileup. this could become a criminal investigation also. this disaster scene ran for one

mile along i-75. the burned out shells of up to 19 vehicles, including at least seven tractor-trailers. in zero visibility conditions, a combination of smoke and fog, drivers headed into a deadly multicar pileup. >> as we were coming through the prairie, it went from crystal clear visibility to nothing in 50 feet. >> visibility was so poor that when rescuers first arrived on the scene, they could locate victims only by listening for moans and screams. throughout the day, firefighters sprayed foam on smoldering wreckage and rescuers used machinery to pry victims from vehicles. >> it was a very traumatic situation and frightening situation to be out there on i-75. hearing crashes, hearing explosions, hearing people scream. >> there were many unanswered questions, including whether the accident could have been avoided. drivers were blinded by a combination of fog and smoke caused by a nearby brushfire. and that fire may have been set

intentionally. visibility was so bad. officials closed the highway for a time but then decided to reopen it. and then disaster happened. >> we opened the road, visibility was good. good enough we felt like travel was safe. we opened a roadway and i don't know exact time period but sometime after that is when we had these series of collisions. >> accidents investigators have to determine what caused the first crash that set off the deadly chain reaction. they'll also look into why the highway was reopened under such dangerous conditions. officially this is not an arson investigation at least not yet. but charlie and erica, here's the thing. state officials can find no natural cause, no natural explanation like a lightning strike that started these

outbursts. >> thera's mom brought her daughter to the hospital after she started involuntary ticking after an afternoon nap. since then the numbers have grown to 15 and all of them x except one, are girls. >> to the north of us here. >> over the weekend, the media craze surrounding the mystery grew when famous environmental activist erin brockovich sent one of her investigators to look for possible environmental causes. the team tested local groundwater samples for chemicals that they believe may be left over from a 1970 train derailment that spilled thousands of gallons of industrial solvent. both school and state health officials had already concluded a three-month investigation that determined no environmental or infectious agents could have caused the students' ticks. instead, local doctors who have examined 11 of the teens have determined the girls have a stress induced conversion

disorder. it starts as a mental or emotional crisis. a scary or stressful incident of some kind and converts to a physical problem. >> i think -- >> some parents refuse to accept the causes are purely psychological. >> even if it was conversion disorder and that was the symptoms of it, we don't know ha caused it. >> in their minds, the small town medical mystery is still very much unsolved. for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york. dr. jennifer mcvig is a pediatric neurologist. she's been seeing patients in this case since october. good morning. >> good morning. >> explain to me what conversion disorder is, why so many women are affected and why you think that this is the cause rather than environmental disorders as others have speculated. >> conversion disorder is the manifestation of psychological symptoms in a physical form.

so usually there's a stressor that's the onset. somebody has either a lifetime of many stressors that build up or one individual stressor and it kind of brings that out in a physical form. people have seizures or fainting spells. they can have blindness. ticks, loss of motor control. where they can't move a leg or an arm. that's how it comes out. >> what are the psychological disorders it might cause? >> anxiety, depression. >> anything? >> anything, yeah. >> why do you rule out environmental disorder as a possible cause? >> we've been working very closely with the new york state department of health. dr. greg young. they've done full testing of the school, the groundwater, the soil. the environment around the school. and the cdc has been brought in. he's been having discussions with them. from all that we've known, all of this has been cleared. >> you've as we mentioned been

treating a number of these kids since october. what are some -- you said anxiety. what are the specific stresses that you believe they told you about in their lives that led you to this diagnosis? >> i can't talk about specifics. only because of violations. i've been treating them since the summer. but it can be as easy as familial divorces within the family or something else at school. >> how close are all of these kids? are they facing the same stresses that there's this large group all having it? >> they don't all have the same stress. you can imagine as a 16, 17-year-old child or young adult, i should say, there are several stressors within the school situation. i should mention we do suspect that usually with conversion, this is actually mass psyche general i can illness as opposed to conversion disorder because of the fact there's so many people involved. this is what we're believing. usually with that there's an index case. we do believe that there's maybe one individual that may have true motor symptoms or have developed the conversion sort

precipitated the thing. >> erin brockovich is sending people to do what? >> i believe she has found the information about a train derailment that happened years ago and there was a feeling that there was a contamination that wasn't properly disposed of. i believe that. >> you said earlier, you don't think that that is a possible cause. >> i'm unsure if that actually happened. the train derailment. i'm sure that that happened in the history and if there's contamination, i don't believe this is the cause of this particular symptomatology with these particular girls. >> because you've talked to them and treated them? >> i've treated ten of them. >> right. >> thank you, dr. jennifer mcvig. thanks for coming in. you can serve healthy meals in school. but same thing at your kitchen table doesn't mean the kids will eat them. we'll look at what's happening in los angeles and find out why chef jamie oliver is knocking on fast food company. daniel radcliffe will be here tomorrow in studio 57.

coupons for a click of the like button. >> every time you click the like button, it's a ka ching in facebook. >> the value to advertisers is based on how much it knows about its users. that leads to the frequent criticism that facebook kprom compromises privacy. >> it's called the digital tattoo. what you do online and what's recorded in a site like facebook stays with you forever. >> does facebook know its users better than they know themselves? >> oh, yes. they know what you are doing and they keep it all in their servers. >> facebook is forecast to bring in more than $5.7 billion in ad revenue this year, up from about $4 billion in 2011. investors will expect ad sales to keep rising. facebook is to live up to the $100 billion value projected for it initial public offering. the share prices have sometimes risen and fallen as steeply as san francisco's hills. but seldom has there been anticipation around a stock offering to equal the excitement

generated by facebook. john blackstone, cbs news, san francisco. here to look at facebook's very next step is andy sour. the managing editor of magazines. >> is it time to figure out how to get some of that facebook stock? >> it's going to be tough to get it. call up morgan stanley. call someone you know to get some. it will be difficult to do that. once the shares start trading, which won't be for about three month. they're expected to file papers this week. you can get it in the after market. but of course, at that point it probably will have gone up quite a bit. the question is, is it a good buy over the long haul? >> why now? i've heard mark zuckerberg say he was resistant, wasn't red you. why now snoo. >> there's so many shareholders that the securities and exchange commission requires that they go public. he doesn't have a choice legally. >> how is facebook going to change, not because of the public offering but because of where they are with a billion users, one seventh of the

planet? >> it's really, really truly amazing. i think what they're going try tlo do. the growth will slow down in terms of the number of users on facebook. what they're going to try to do is get more people more engaged. getting people to spend more and more time. the more time they spend on facebook shall the more money the company makes by the way. that's what will happen. >> their success will be how to use it as a selling vehicle? >> that's right. initially, zuckerberg and the other people resisted making it overly commercial because they saw what happened to myspace. they wanted to gain people's trust and get people to join and be a part of the community. now that they've done that, they want people to be on it more and monetize it. >> trust is turning out to be a sticky point for them in a lot of ways. many people are interested in seeing the filing because there are more things they want to know about the company. what are we expecting to learn from the filings and how will that affect things going forward. >> you're right. people will be poring through

this document this week had it comes out. i think they'll learn about salaries, how much people make, how much does mark zuckerberg and sandberg, what are their salaries, how are the relationships between the companies that do business with facebook. ha do those look like. how does procter & gamble get paid. >> this is on the cover of your magazine, fortune. was this race between google and facebook. how will that play itself out? >> that's really interesting. google represents the data-driven web. search. the way the web sort of used to work. facebook maintains they're the new, the social web. and that means that previously we've used the web to find things. now, facebook wants to change the web and have it be a place where you engage your friends and your community and you find things through facebook, through social. in other words, instead of just typing in where do i get tires, you ask your friends on facebook where do i get tires.

the other thing is a google search doesn't really work in facebook. so it's a whole separate world. which drives the people at google nuts. >> the four-letter word becomes like? >> yes, exactly. it's a new social web. these guys have capitalized on this. of course, there is linkedin and twitter. the other two big social companies. facebook is thel-i-k-e, i like . i can do the basics. you said something interesting. the more money they make the more time on facebook. how is that possible? what do you mean by that? >> the more opportunities facebook has for you to click on, say, pepsi's new little viral marketing campaign that sits on the right-hand side and recommend other things to other people that causes them to click on a little mars candy thing or engage with some other company, in some other way. >> are people clicking on it. i look at the ads and i go -- i find the ads annoying. are people looking at the ads? clearly, they are. >> they are looking at the ads

more than just say the ads that were on websites where people click and -- those don't work as well. because there's so much viral stuff that goes on in facebook and so many cute little videos, the you-tube things and incorporating the ad campaigns into cool stuff like the old spice guy, things like that. it's cool. >> the other thing that gives facebook money to make acquisitions and stock to make acquisitions. is there any sense of what their great vision for the future is? >> the great vision is to connect the whole planet through facebook. you know, you've heard mark say that, charlie. i really think he believes that. he's still only 28 years old. i mean, and the guy is going to be worth many, many millions of daughters. $24 billion and 24 years old. >> i would still come here to work, charlie. i think about the people in their dorm room and basement thinking what could i do? >> mark zuckerberg 2.0.

for an amazon kindle. up to about 300 reviews were up and basically, let my give you an exam: what they would do, the piece cost 59.99 d so it only cost $10. they would say we will refund your order in exchange for a review. we strive to earn 100% perfect, five-star reviews from you. this is a very fine line that a lot of folks kind of are on. the ftc tried to crackdown on this, especially in 2009. because there's a big difference between editorial and ad ver torial. you must disclose. if you do not disclose there's a difference between the person reviewing and the vendor. >> that is misleading. >> you mentioned this fine line with the ftc. as we're learning, people are starting to learn that sometime the reviews they see may not be on the up and up. maybe there could have been incentives. >> how prevalent is it?

>> we do know. they have trouble, just enough manpower to crackdown. it's up to the consumer to pay attention and see and find out and discover what's real. cornell did a study and found that on average, we can only attribute maybe 50 to 60% of fake reviews as fake. not that great at it. but there are things that you can do and look out for it to make sure they're not fake reviews. for example, you can click on the reviewer's name to see what other reviews are out there. if they review five different types of stoves shall the chances are they don't have five stoves. also the time stamp. see when the reviews were put up. all within five minutes, maybe it's the whole office putting them up. be very careful about that. look at the language. if it's so ee fuse sif. >> exclamation point. >> a $10. this is the best thing in the world. you got to watch out for the language. if there is no downside to it, it's probably not -- >> over christmas i was shopping

terms. >> i think a lot of women are embarrassed about it. drinking is all fun and socially acceptable and it's not like you have a drug addiction and you're not out doing crack. >> until it's not, right? >> i think a lot of women drink when a big transition happens in their life. those things can be triggers. you might not notice, women that are predisposed to addiction, the drinking like ratchets up after something happens. you could be drinking normally or what you think is semi normally and then the kids are going out of the house and all of a sudden you drink more and you get into a new relationship and you drink more or you have kids. >> or not. i'm not a big drinker either. i jest with you here, but i'm a control person. one glass of wine. i remember going through a stressful period in my life, really looking forward to my wine a little too much and one became two. that's when i remember thinking, this is not good. this is how that slope gets slippery. >> do you think most women think they can handle it or they're

thinking i'm not a sloppy drunk so i can handle it? i'm okay. >> this is the problem. we have a lot of high functioning alcoholics out there. you know, it takes something bad happening for them to see that this is a problem. >> go ahead, finish. >> well, no. where is the line between like you're just having a couple of glasses of wine at night and you have a problem, i don't know. >> what about your kids? i have two little boys right now. i can relate to this. i've been at play date where yes, we've had a glass of wine and it's later in the day. or you think no, that's not what i want. what's happening to your kids when all of this is going on? did you ever feel you were putting your children or other people's children in danger? >> well, you know, that's a tough one. for me, it was more about me. and i think that, you know, if you get to the point where you are putting your kids in danger or someone else's kids in danger, yeah, you need to stop

drinking and get help. >> you may not know. >> in my town that i lived in before, there was that mom. that mom who was known for having too many. i had to do the old, with my kids, you will not get in that car. if you're in that car and she's the driver, you will call me. it's a fine line between throwing that mother under the bus and where is the intervention too. where are the other moms. where do we come in and say gayle, we're worried about you. >> that's a tough one, isn't it? >> it's really tough. >> because only the person who has the problem, that person needs to recognize that they have a problem to get help. until then, yeah, you have to keep your kids from getting in that car. i mean, i just want to make it clear, that i don't think that women shouldn't drink. just because -- it doesn't have to be all or nothing. but you need to know when you have a problem. >> absolutely. just because you're having some drinks, even if you're on a play date or around your kids does not mean you have a problem. if you have a problem, you need to do something about it. >> which you did. which you did.

i was privileged to know steve. i think because i am by no means a coder or geek but i loved him. i love the idea of it. i love where the relationship between man and object and the furtherance of all kinds of -- the only reason i didn't want to die, i'm quite happy to die is because i can't bear the idea of not seeing the next gizmo in 50 years' time. >> what is your fascination beyond steve jobs with america? you have been to 50 states. >> i have. i'm one of the few people to be at all 50 states. when i was about eight or nine, my mother told me as if it was the most casual thing in the world. my father was a physicist. you said your father was offered a job at princeton while i was pregnant with you. i said what? said yes. he really considered it. it was quite a good job. he turned it down. you would have been born in america. i suddenly had this image that -- identically, physically

the same person, no physical difference, but i would have been steve. i would have talked like this i guess, chewed gum and worn jeans. driven a mustang when i was 17. instead of being what i am embarrassingly called the quintessential english man without being the quintessential american. the differences, similarities and if you like, sort of clashes between the american and the english way of doing things utterly fascinating. i put to the bbc, it was never done on british television, somebody to visit every 50 of the states. there is no one america. you ask a mainer who he likes and it's different to a north dakotan or a floridian or an oregonian. norwegian to a belgium. they're all different countries. it was a fascinating experience. >> even though -- it aired on the bbc. so a lot of americans didn't see it. >> i know. strange that. >> so fame levelwise, you're

this enormous star in the uk, a lot of people wonder when you might take over america. >> i don't know about that. i've left that to my partner, hugh laurie. photographs in the background. >> talk about that friendship, too. >> i was very lucky. after an extremely childhood which involved expulsion from a number of schools and imprisonment i managed to get a scholarship to cambridge university. i would quietly grow tweed in the corner and write books on shakespeare which is my great passion. and i was introduced in my second week to this girl who i had seen on stage. she was a first year like me but she had opinion in a play already. it was travesties. i looked at her name in the program and said who is this e. thompson. somebody said emma thompson. we became good friends. you said you should try out. natural actor. i started to be in plays with them. she then introduced me -- you

got to meet this guy. he's in the -- she made the famous boat race. in his last year, he can't decide whether to be president of the boat club or the foot lights club. he was hugh laurie. hugh laurie and i became -- it was a love story. glad to hear, not erotic. a collaborative comic love story. we fell in love with each other. the moment we met, literally, the day we met, we started writing sketches together. >> what's your core confidant. one thing and one thing only. that is because, it's my lack of talent that has given me the rundown that matters. had school, i was uncoordinated, i couldn't catch a ball or run. i hated all exercises and all sport. i couldn't sing or play music or dance. so all i had was language. and language became my absolute obsession. i would read the dictionary, i would read everything. also, growing up gay, which i knew i was by the time i was ten, in those days, there was no

internet, there were no special channels. the hideous prospect of i will prisonment and men in rain coats and horrible stories in newspapers. so i discovered through literature that i was not alone. there were extraordinary giants, whether michelangelo or oscar wild. i can say i can't be that ashamed. so it gave me, in a sense, literacy and the love of literature, a love of reading in a way just to vindicate myself. but in the end, it's language. i mean most of my mu humor and insight. my motto is how can i tell you what i think until i heard what i'm going to say. >> who used to say that? somebody wrote me a note. >> the friday chronicles, he's in the movies. he has a lot to say because his core competence is language. >> love it. >> thank you. >> thank you, charlie. it was a pleasure. >> ed burns has a golden movie career and super model wife.

marissa. what are we thinking? >> jumpers jump, right? >> exactly. >> this guy has the capacity but he's not going over. something is off. >> that's what i'm thinking. but what? >> like he's waiting for something. we need this i.d. >> see what i can do. >> edward burns plays a new york city police detective. it's called man on a ledge. he's trying to get a desperate man off the ledge. ed burns has been acting, directing, writing and producing his his debut film the brothers

mcmullen. 17 years ago. hello edward. >> hello. >> can i start with brothers mcmullen for a second. that's when i became smitten with you. way back then. >> it hasn't stopped. >> he knows that it hasn't stopped. has anything been as sweet to you as that? you were darling at sundance. cost you $25,000. made over $10 million. has anything duplicated that moment for you? >> no. you can't really ever go back to that moment when you're a kid who was a production assistant making $18,000 a year and then a all of a sudden you show up at sundance and literally overnight your life changes. not only do i he will sell the film but i'm being offered acting roles. they want to green light the next film i want to make. right this way, mr. burns. >> exactly. it was one of those moments. >> go ahead. >> i said to gayle right before we started, you seem to have it all together. a great wife, beautiful wife, great children. you get to do action adventure studio movies as an actor and

then you make films lake this. also like newlywed, the new one which is about your family, about your neighborhood and this love affair with new york city. it's the magic formula. >> yeah. you know, it was never the plan. but it's been 17 years and it's a tough business. there are highs and lows. it's just a matter of trying to navigate it and figure it out. i think i've been lucky enough to find this formula that works. i get to act in these studio films and you do a few paul newman had a great quote talking about his choices. saying one for them, one for me. that's what i've tried to adopt here. i'll do the acting gigs, that helps finance or give me the creative freedom to do indie film. >> it only cost 7 -- >> $9,000. >> i thought that was a typo actually. i rereally did. it was 25. i thought it was a typo. >> it is the most exciting time

rye now. if you're a kid coming out of film school, when i was trying to make mcmullen, it was hard. that point of entry was so tough because that film cost 25 and it was just tough to get those films made. these digital cameras now, we shot this film on a camera that i bought for $3,000. the look of the film, mcmullen looks like a gritty, grainy student film. this film looks like a professional film. if you're a kid coming out of film school now, in the way that a novelest needed the typewriter or the canvas for the painter. it's exciting. >> the technology, technology more accessible and more -- ease remember to buy for some people. it's other social networking. you've embraced twitter and this has helped you in terms of your professional life. >> i've used twitter for a couple of things. you're making micro budgeted films. you don't have the marketing

budget like a film like man on a ledge would have. you have to get out there and use social media and what me and other filmmakers have been able to do shall you get all these folks to fight on your behalf. reviews and spreading the word-of-mouth. we'll see if i tweet and we'll see absolute spikes on the itunes rental charts, or the numbers based on how excited they are by the film. i've also used them when i was writing newlyweds. i tweeted out an initial idea. when you guys were first married, what was the first fight about. nine out of the ten responses had something to do with a family member. we had to move in with my mother-in-law, my brother showed up and crashed on my couch and never left. that helped to shape the screen play. >> your father is a cop. you played lots of cop. what's that about? >> do you like cops, ed? >> i'm an irish guy from new

york. any time there's a film in new york that needs a cop, a lot of times i get a call. you know, i mean, 17 years in the business, i don't get the hard times that i used to get. >> from the family. >> i guess i walk the walk a little better than i used to. >> i am fascinated by you, ed burns, your life. every time they say ed burns, married to a super model wife. do you get a little extra, yeah, i'm married to a super model. you must get -- >> i mean -- >> not a bad thing. >> you know, christy, she's great and we have a great thing. >> it's great. one of the best things i saw, you were on a subway and new york is -- with your daughter grace, service so sweet. she was standing on your lap. you embrace walking around in the city of new york. you're not running and hiding. you're saying we're here. >> i think you have to. part of the reason christy and i wanted to stay here, we're both new yorkers and we love the city

and we also want a normal life. the thing is new yorkers kind of leave you [ male announcer ] this was how my day began. a little bird told me about a band... ♪ an old man shared some fish stories... ♪ oooh, my turn. ♪ she was in paris, but we talked for hours... everyone else buzzed about the band. there's a wireless mind inside all of us.
