Jon Hamm

“Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.”

“I'm not Yadier Molina behind the plate, but I can throw a ball to second on a rope.”

“If you're the handsome white guy, you tend to get cast as guys who are meant to be convincing in their jobs. What I've been fortunate enough to do, whether it's playing a certified idiot on '30 Rock' or a weirdo in 'Bridesmaids,' is play against that in a lot of ways.”

“I think having a private life that you only share with your nearest and dearest is important. Otherwise, who are you?”

“We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it's actually a strength. It's not a weak move to say, 'I need help.' In the long run, it's way better, because you have to fix it.”

“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.”

“I was raised by a single mom. I spent most of my time in daycare.”

“I'm a big dog fan. They're the best. They make life better, although they're hard to deal with. But complications in life are actually what make it fun.”

“Being an actor is actually pretty easy if you can memorize lines.”

“When I was a student at Mizzou, I was a daycare teacher. I did it because was a latchkey kid.”

“I'm not gay, and I'm not a superhero.”

“I have a lady, she's a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.”

“Medical attention is medical attention, whether it's for your elbow or for your teeth or for your brain. And it's important.”

“Everyone goes through a weirdness as a young person, especially in college, when you're trying to figure things out.”

“I don't need to be married, but I feel married.”

“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.”

“For a kid who's lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very.”

“I always say I make the movies where people go, 'Hey, I never saw it, but when I finally did, I really liked it.' People saw 'Baby Driver,' though. I was pleased with that.”

“I'm not a cheater. I've never cheated in my life.”

“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.”
