The last thing I wanted to do was play another womanizer or ladies’ man or Lothario. I’ve taken myself out of the running for a lot of those parts, because it’s just more of the same. Jon Hamm Read Quote
I felt very comfortable playing Don Draper, because I knew that Don Draper is a character – that Dick Whitman is playing Don Draper. I felt very comfortable in that manufactured-confidence mode. He himself is manufacturing it. Jon Hamm Read Quote

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. Jon Hamm Read Quote
