* They first discuss Love Lies Bleeding and Kristen says her character is a subversion of the "strong female character"
* When discussing the cover, Stephen first says CBS initially asked him not to show it on camera
* Stephen says people were upset by the cover and quotes a tweet saying "Kristen Stewart turned into a MAN" and that Rolling Stone is "pushing gender ideology"
* Kristen says she's seen a lot of male pubic hair and hands in pants in magazines and says that "overt acknowledgement of female sexuality that has its own volition...is annoying for people who are sexist and homophobic"
* She says "Female sexuality isn't supposed to be anything but to want to be had" and says the cover "might be annoying, but fuck you" then adds "but I never will"
* Stephen also asks her to read a quote of hers from the Rolling Stone interview where she talks about Trump attacking her on twitter in the wake of the Rupert Sanders scandal
* The quote says "Of course he had to weigh in on my tarring and feathering. It’s like, ‘What is this 20-year-old who has no idea about life doing to this man? He's such a little baby. Fuck you, bitch."
