I have read the fourth page, and this is the most hilarious and entertaining interview that I have read on Newsweek. But one has to be circumspect, reading interviews like these. I did not know, three of the stars, so I tried looking up Wikipedia. There were many "Downey's", in Wikipedia, so my search was a failure. I am not in first name terms with the other actors, too, so my Wikipedia search on them was as fruitless. But, I must say again, this is the best piece that I have read in Newsweek.

ROURKE: Get out as quick as you can.
HATHAWAY: I have a question. Three of us made handheld movies, including "Rachel Getting Married." Mickey, did you find that it helped you?
ROURKE: It helped me a great deal. I didn't even know Evan Rachel Wood. We didn't even introduce ourselves to one another. The big scene we did together was really heavy. Because of the freedom of the handheld, we didn't have to do too much. The mistake I made is I let it all out on the first and second takes. We still had a long night. The director said to me, "Mickey, she's blowing you away. You suck." I said, "Yeah, she's blowing me away and I suck. You got two in the f–––ing can. What are you complaining about?"
PITT: It was a heartbreaking work of staggering genius, to steal the title of the book. Sitting here, I realize I'm sitting with three actors who have made it and survived this business for three decades. That's an achievement in itself.
LANGELLA: I'm a lot older than you think.
PITT: Four decades? Is it almost five decades?
ROURKE: Wait a minute, I was out of work for a decade.
DOWNEY: You might have had a slow 10 years, but I basically wasn't in my body for 25, and I have like 65 credits during that period of time. I think the work kept me grounded, and having a call sheet was the only stability in my life. I have a much more relevant question. Mickey, will you please consider being in "Iron Man 2"?
ROURKE: With you? Absolutely, brother.
So is this really a done deal?
DOWNEY: No, I just asked him to consider it. That's all I got.
HATHAWAY: Robert, will you at least consider being in "Princess Diaries 3" with me? That's my question. [Laughter]
Well, our time is up. We can now let you all go.
LANGELLA: I'd like to say, for the record, I'm the oldest male at the table, and the only one who didn't get up to go to the bathroom.
