What’s the first information you consume in the morning?
Whether I’m winning or losing in Words With Friends.

I’ve heard that’s pretty popular on the Mad Men set.
Yeah. Most of the people I play are those guys. We’ll all have our phones—especially Jon [Hamm] and Lizzie [Moss] and Lana, the head of makeup—and we’ll be playing against each other online and at the same time playing either dominoes or cribbage on the table.

What occupies your mind in the car?
Usually NPR.
