I find that if I’m working on something, and I just can’t get it to work, the best think I can do is just send it to someone. Nine times out of ten they don’t even have to say anything about it, as soon as I send it off something clicks and I go “Aahh, never mind! I figured it out!” Probably because I shift myself out of my head and into theirs for a second? Anyway,...

Paul Rudd: When I said, “Jon, I hope you’re ready to get naked in this interview,” I didn’t anticipate that you would actually be physically naked. Jon Hamm: Well, it helps me to be emotionally naked if I’m physically naked. PR: I see. JH: Thank you, by the way, for also being naked.
