If you're doing a movie about dodgeball, you have to make stakes and create suspense. Who wants to be cool and uncaring? What's interesting about that?\n\nHis characters are also always running down hallways, having wordy conversations. \n\n It's called a walk-and-talk. I like it. It puts a lot of pressure on you.\n\nSo, Amanda&amp;amp;#8230Aaron Sorkin can be so earnest\u2014as if the fate of the world rests on making a great sketch-comedy show.\n\n You have to make stakes out of everything.

What's interesting about that?\n\nHis characters are also always running down hallways, having wordy conversations. \n\n It's called a walk-and-talk. I like it. It puts a lot of pressure on you.\n\nI caught you in Barefoot in the Park on Broadway earlier this year. Meryl Streep was in the audience. Could you tell? \n\n [smiling] She laughs.\n\nLoudly. Was it good to be back onstage? \n\n I got skewered in the Times. I didn't read the review, so I don't know exactly what it said.\n\nHow did you find out, then? \n\n I tell everyone, \"I'm not reading the reviews; don't contact me.\" My anc\u00E9 won't read them. My family won't read them. But the next day, when no one calls, you get the feeling that something bad happened. But you don't really know how bad, because you told them not to call. Then a few days go by, and you start to get phone calls from your mom saying, \"So-and-so called me. They read it and said it was outrageous!\" And then you run into your neighbors in the elevator, and they're like, \"Some people are so mean-spirited!\" And slowly you start to put it together\u2014whatever happened was a disaster.\n\nDid you finally cave and read it? \n\n I won't ever read it. My anc\u00E9 said we can read it when we're 80 and we can have a good laugh.\n\nYou're marrying [screenwriter] David Benioff. How'd you know he was the one? \n\n He made fun of my thumbs. I have really weird thumbs.\n\nNot to sound like a stalker or anything, but I checked out your bridal registry. Do you really need the $525 decanter? \n\n We denitely need the decanter.\n\nAre you going to take his name? \n\n Probably.\n\nWhat's a typical night like at home with the Benioffs? \n\n We watch South Park, and David plays with my hair. That's how I fall asleep. South Park doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would soothe you to sleep, but it's become a romantic ritual.\n\nYou're a New Yorker, but Studio 60 shoots in Los Angeles. Are you going to get a hybrid car? \n\n Maybe. I'm interested.\n\nDo you worry about global warming? \n\n I keep thinking of Annie Hall, when Alvy's like, \"The universe is expanding.\" And his mother says, \"You're here in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is not expanding!\" Sometimes I have those moments of anxiety, but I think about Woody Allen and it makes me feel better.\n\nWould you vote for Hillary for president? \n\n Well, yes. But it would depend on who else was out there.\n\nHow would the country be different if we had a female president? \n\n We need more emissaries. We need some damage control. I think women are probably good at that\u2014good at seducing people into coming together.\n\nYou've been great on Letterman, by the way. Do you get nervous? \n\n Yes! It's Letterman! I have a crush on the man. It's terrible. A talent crush and an actual crush\u2014there's nothing worse than that.\n\nThoughts on Botox? \n\n I feel like, live and let live. Do what you want to do, you know? But if you're an actor, don't you want to move your forehead?\n\nDo you worry about how you'll look in high-definition television? \n\n Yes. Yes. My anc\u00E9 is very proud of our new TV. I'm such a narcissist that I'm just worried about me as an actor. I'm completely self-obsessed. He's like, \"Look how great this is!\" And I'm like, \"This is a nightmare.\"\n\nHow big is the TV? \n\n The one in the living room is absurd. I think he lied to me. He told me it was thirty-two inches, and it's like 80 million times bigger than that.\n\nI read that as Studio 60 moves along, Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford will vie for your affection. I find it hard to believe you'd be seduced by Bradley Whitford. \n\n You're on crack. You're smoking crack. I don't know a single woman who doesn't want to sleep with Bradley Whitford.\n\nSeriously? You should rent Revenge of the Nerds II. \n\n I can't explain it. Part of it is the way he walks.\n\nDid you understand Syriana? Seriously. \n\n Um, I think I understood the basic plot points.\n\nYou and Matt Damon play husband and wife in the movie. I have to say, you two kind of look alike. \n\n Somebody else said that recently. That's so weird. I don't really see it, but that's great that people think I look like Matt Damon."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
