It was really nice sightseeing, if you know what I mean. In a way, it was sort of depressing, too, because you kept wondering what the hell would happen to all of them.

… it’s funny when I hear people say nothing ever happens or that it’s not a plot driven show. Characters… that is a plot. A character’s life is a plot… If it’s a character piece and you’re really getting in-depth with the character then you’re looking at his life, and his life is a story, and story is plot.

In TV and movies, I think you focus on the people who have the most struggles because it’s the most entertaining thing to watch. The person who’s on the doctor track at Harvard and is moving on to a hospital isn’t that amusing to us. We like to watch people who have no idea what to do, trying to figure it out. It’s very bad and funny with women or men. It’s just a more interesting story than success.

Listening to my husband talk to himself as he watches Mad Men.
- James: Imagine if we just could just show these people the internet?
- James: (about christina hendricks) Oh my God. Look at her. Where did they find this woman?
- James: Look at the crotch in those pants.
- James: Joan looks like a porno Wilma Flintstone.
- James: Oh God, Megan's teeth look like Billy Bob teeth, or like Shane McGowan... if Shane McGowan was really pretty and spoke French.
- James: I'd screw Joan but I'd have to do it in the winter, because in the summer she'd get all sweaty. That's why her husband won't bring her to Vietnam.
- James: What the fuck?
- Me: He isn't really doing that. It's a hallucination, trust me. He's sick. I mean, where would Megan be?
- James: I don't think I've ever been so sick that I thought I fucked and murdered someone. Ever. I have NEVER been that sick.
