The difference between directing film and directing television is so stark simply because TV is a living breathing organism already when you direct an episode.

I don't need to be married, but I feel married.
Jon Hamm
Image
For most people, the authentic things are relationships, friends, and family.
Jon Hamm
Image
People look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful white male
Jon Hamm
Image
It couldn't be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn't really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved, so I don't gravitate to it.
Jon Hamm
Image
I think that we live in a moment in time where people have a lot of information about a lot of people kind of instantly, but it's all sort of surface information and it doesn't really mean anything.
Jon Hamm
Image
I don't necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don't know if it's for me. I haven't come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I'm not sure it would be that way for me.

It is nice when things end. That is what stories do - they end. It is hard to write endings and it is hard to come to the end of things, but I think when it is done right, it is a very satisfying way to appreciate something.

I played Winnie the Pooh in first grade. I was an early adopter of standing in front of people and looking like an idiot.

I was raised by a single mother and I've been in a 10-year relationship with my girlfriend. My whole life I've been surrounded by women.

I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I got a golden retriever a year after I was born.

In this ridiculously polarized, obstructionist world, the operating principle should be, Let's get something done. Not, Let's freeze everything.
Jon Hamm
Image
When I was a little kid, I kind of liked the commercials more than a lot of the stuff on TV. My favorite ones were the Miller Lite ads with all the jocks in them. Tastes great, less filling.

Point me to 50 people online who think I'm super sexy. I'll point you to 50 more who say he's old and looks like my dad.
Jon Hamm
Image
I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn't stop.
Jon Hamm

I'm wearing pants, for f---'s sake. Lay off. I mean, it's not like I'm a f---ing lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world. But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c---, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal ... But whatever. I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite.

I remember opening my dad's closet and there were, like, 40 suits, every color of the rainbow, plaid and winter and summer. He had two jewelry boxes full of watches and lighters and cuff links. And just... he was that guy. He was probably unfulfilled in his life in many ways.

I'm not gay, and I'm not a superhero.
Jon Hamm
Image
It's such a capricious, strange existence, basing your life on the whims of others, and basing your ebbs and flows of confidence and lack of confidence on the fact that people either choose you or don't.
Jon Hamm
Image
It's nice, when the lights come up at the end of the movie, to not be like, What did I just watch?
Jon Hamm

People care enough to write blogs and reviews and things, which is nice.
