She was asked if she had ever asked someone for their autograph, saying: 'Well, I’ve asked people to sign a copy of a book. Philip Roth and Elton John.
'That was because we bought lyrics of Your Song.'. Colbert, 60, asked: 'Where do you keep those?' to which The Hour star responded: ' 'Shh.'.

Nicole Kidman has revealed she owns a poignant Elton John memento, six years after covering Your Song with husband Keith Urban - pictured with John in 2012.
She first tried her hand at singing in Baz Luhrmann's epic 2001 musical Moulin Rouge, singing Your Song with Ewan McGregor. Their duet, Come What May, also became an instant hit. In 2019, Kidman and Urban sang Your Song. In a video captioned: A little backstage moment before heading to Monterey @KeithUrban' the musician played the piano and sang: 'If I was a sculptor' to which the beauty quipped: 'But you’re not.'.
Unsatisfied with her sex life, she finds what she has been searching for in an intern at work, Samuel (Harris Dickinson), who she enters into a BSDM-style relationship with. Nicole said the film aims to show female sexual pleasure as it really is – albeit with the help of a co-star half her age. Because of the sexually charged content, Nicole said she doesn't want the daughters she shares with musician Keith Urban, Sunday Rose, 16, and 14-year-old Faith Margaret, to watch it.
There won't be too many arguments in the Kidman-Urban household over the prohibition either, with Nicole's daughters agreeing with the Babygirl ban. Kidman and Urban are pictured on January 5 2025.

'Well, my daughters aren't seeing it,' Nicole told The Telegraph, adding: 'But they've also declared that they don't want to see it. Neither of them has any interest in seeing Mum like that.'. Previously, Nicole has said she had to fake sex so many times during filming that she ended up 'almost like burnout' but equally admits that she was terrified of playing the 'grunting' scenes.
'Don't forget the grunting,' she said. 'That was all actually scary, and I said to Halina (Reijn, the film's writer and director) at the beginning how scared I was. 'But she was like, 'I'll get you there. It'll be safe - but I want the embarrassment, I want the struggle.'. 'Because so much of Romy's sexuality is caught up in her struggle to release. She can perform, but she can't let go. 'And I think that's a common thread that runs through a lot of women's sexuality - what they feel it should be, versus what it actually is.'.
Speaking to Vanity Fair ahead if the Venice Film Festival premiere, Nicole revealed she wasn't sure if she could watch the racy scenes in a cinema full of people. 'There's something in me going: "Okay, this was made for the big screen and to be seen with people." I'm not sure I have that much bravery,' Nicole told the publication. 'I've made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this,' she added of the 'confronting' experience.
Babygirl sees Nicole play Romy, a middle-aged executive who embarks on an illicit affair with an intern. Nicole shared her apprehension over audiences seeing the sex scenes, admitting that the 'vulnerable' filming process left her feeling 'ragged'. 'It's like, golly, I'm doing this, and it's actually now going to be seen by the world. That's a very weird feeling,' she said. 'This is something you hide in your home videos. It's not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.'.
