On he and wife Jennifer Westfeldt's recently released movie 'Friends with Kids':
"What we tried to do was basically make the case that if there are cracks in the relationship, [the] introduction of kids and the stress that brings is going to make those cracks larger."
On children:
"I love kids. I love other people's kids because I like being able to give them back at the end of the night."
On receiving outside support during his parents' divorce:
"I had very good friends whose parents rallied around. My best friend's parents sort of became my de facto parents over the years and I still consider them that way."
On his life advice:
"Just because you stumble doesn't mean the race is over. Get back up, brush yourself off, keep moving forward. That's the one thing I tell kids coming out here, kids that are pursuing acting. You're going to hear 'no' a lot so get used to it. If I'm proof of anything, it's that it just takes one 'yes'.""
On his beloved 'Mad Men' role of Don Draper:
"It is a dream job - that is the only way I can really describe it. As an actor, you so rarely get to do something that you like but is also a tremendous boon to your career."
