They Would Kill for An Emmy

Did you have the vibe the year you won for "Angels in America"?
PARKER: I did.
GRIFFITHS: I did, too.
SLATTERY: And did you prepare a speech that year?
PARKER: I think I did. It was a few years back and I was breast-feeding a lot, so one doesn't remember.
GRIFFITHS: Didn't you also have the world's most incredible dress and you had never looked as hot?

Do you dress differently if you think you're going to win?
GRIFFITHS: No, I just don't think you put up with an extremely uncomfortable dress if you think you're going to lose. It's like, "If I'm going to lose, make it something comfortable."

John, "Mad Men" has become a major show in its first year. How has it been to watch it become a phenomenon?
SLATTERY: It's nice to start something from the beginning, and kind of around the fifth week or so, think, "This is really good." The fact that it's actually been embraced is really gratifying.

Do people on the street confuse any of you with your characters?
SLATTERY: No.
WILSON: There are legions of teenage boys for who Dwight is their god, so they see me and I'm Dwight. There's really no awareness that there's a guy that plays him.

Mary-Louise, do people try to buy pot from you?
PARKER: A couple of times, yeah. And a steward on the airplane, which I thought was a little nerve-racking, actually.
WILSON: Michael, do people ever give you a dead body to dispose of?
MICHAEL C. HALL: No, but they might give me a tip of someone who I could kill.
GRIFFITHS: Has anyone ever told you that they've killed somebody?
HALL: No, that would be … that would be …
WILSON: Well, I'm going to do it right here and now. I killed my math teacher in high school. There, I've said it.
HALL: I'm sure he deserved it.
WILSON: He did. He gave me a B.

Michael, during "Six Feet Under," a lot of people thought you were gay in real life, didn't they?
HALL: I think maybe more people assumed that I was gay than assume I'm a serial killer.
GRIFFITHS: Most people I talked to were more disappointed to know that you weren't gay.
HALL: Well, that's always nice to hear.
GRIFFITHS: Yeah, it was, like, "Darn, he's so cute."

Rachel, compared to everyone else here, your character is pretty normal. Is it harder to make normal interesting?
GRIFFITHS: I think you can't make it interesting to everybody, for sure. But I just kind of make it human, and if you connect with that, you do, and if you don't, you watch another show that maybe is more interesting, that has more extreme characterizations.

Most people don't know that you get nomi-nated based on a single episode. Is it a coincidence that almost all of you submitted an episode in which your character cried?
HALL: Dexter doesn't cry.
