hampshire everybody knows everyone on our our uh... aba let me just go to my
left foot but this is uh... matching one of the maddening creator and executive
producer
john han please dont reversed
christina hendrickson please don't harass
john slattery who believe widened
january jones who pays for everything
based in part by their who plays pecans
and jared harris who plays lane price
family didn't just talk in generally about you know how you begin work on the
new season
uh...
well there's likely three-week
first is a panic
right negotiate it's like dying
kinda go see a kid's anger bargaining depression the whole thing
and i'm sort of ad bargain for a little bit and try and get the little bit more
time and i'm usually hiring writers during that period but i basically spend
about three weeks trying to figure out what i want to do and how many do it
and then the writers room opens about uh... twelve weeks before we start
shooting and in the those i'd talk straight for like three days
anyway let's standing stays on the staff
and then they give me their ideas for a couple of days and then we start
breaking story
and uh... we try and get uh... six or seven episodes broken i have the shape
of the season
and somewhere in there two months of open the writers room for a couple of
weeks i feel like i'm on my feet nine will have wanted john which is actually
not a superstition it's actually at an important part of uh... crafting the
season
and um... we usually go uh... to a restaurant and uterus remember anything
that happened haha
homeopathy we readme walked home from this place is obvious that and that
and then uh... and also it and you know the panic and suz that that's not my
mother's a producer uh...
everybody starts thirty ring up in the sets can impact and you know everything
starts going uh...
that a month out
scouting directors and then once this show starts going
every eight days they need another script
so hopefully i have three or four reading
cast members and when you come back from are you know production hey just as it
use it
you take a few days to kind of settlement your characters you forget
how to play initially always get a bit nervous each season fiscal year dinners
are something i kinda segments i thought that maybe i won't remember
but just in case that and i was excited an actor first few days you can answer
find your invoices and characteristics and
and just are back in it
but it's a believed
before
episode
and so right having personally gone fittings and i see pictures any with
casa like that but they
they all come to drive the hopefully we had a kick-off party and we have a table
read and i think on this link
that i've maybe there is there something i don't know what it's like when you
actually get behind the camera but bio usually fine right at the table read
though all of my anxiety about what they're gonna do having to be it's all
it always seems to be like their break there
little comes with the script
and for me at least like at least you members just like you do
a couple weeks before we start season
and it's kept unlike out dispute
it's in the words and uh...
it's in this story it's it's nice to be part of a project where
the characters really have a voice and have a point of view in
you can tell the difference between uh...
the different characters the with the redmond
it's all there for you if you just kind of
reenact the doubts here by i think i worked every year the first date usually
somewhere that was a day
uh... becomes post trunk
themselves
let our exit hotmail guy i think there is a it
the head unisa
it takes a while to get back into it and then he was directly videos it don't
shake your head so much and it's a list what you doing is looking to give me
some really sort of title direction of like ok what abuses of the of the good
at it
it on your your trajectories your belonging to a seasonal you learning it
at the same at the scene as you arguments with
it's it's a so that's a itself
uh... uncovered little more
uh... knowledge of for for what's gonna happen just because i have a little more
that's just not
but uh...
it's mostly uh...
episode episode and i think most of us want to
murder that one of the worst the last thing i want to split it with him
and you don't want you know if you want to experiences as a rolls out the way
that real life happens
back at my processes is i'd have to tell the story
and i will tell it sometimes over and over and over again to thirty get it
right
and john still cuz it was like madison a secretive person the world unless you
ask him nak invariably i will get out yet to get on a phone call with someone
of talk to christina i was like you know i we're talking about the hair cutter
but for her to be like this here in austin office for telling her what
happened season they are they're quite hoping and then at the next day what did
that because your decisions that
i know it sounds pretty good that you didn't see anything about you know but
today
then does this independent but replacement
daylight is still in and is that a legitimate concerning my pick up the
statements on of john not b
e on madmen
fun
s no
he met and think that wilson have
worked for quite awhile before we got mad
we know how freaking instantly and and we know how lucky
we are to be on this project images holzer technique to itself
it is said to your to me at that
absolutely had aveda hate to think it in a moment that without the
doesn't have to miss you
the not no way to get attached to people and not learn their names and you sure
they're really good
stick around for were were pretty close mid-march
and and
would people people can people are pretty readily accepted as well i mean
it's uh... was a decision made very early on i think but all of us that
wasn't an abuse
har kal sister
and where certain people were not to be talked to in certain people were to be
excluded and that's that's never been the case and in fact we we have a very
kind of communal
atmosphere when we're all working there so there's one place we also have
hangout nobody skulls off to the trailers of one disco hangs out in
and uh... day players investors come by and all that stuff as well and and uh...
welcoming in it and we've all been guest stars
but my case way more than i did anything else
um... edits biscuits always liked the first day of school and you always sit
at the wrong lunch w always you don't know anybody's name and you just feel
that the total outcasts
and i i remember thinking very very early on that that's not how was it
would be
and uh... and that's been kind of the the facto operating principle for for
all of us that's that's made it for you know we've met some really fun people in
cool people made really good friends and
and that's been a good thing anywhere are set last through the bathroom can
use john strokes lotteries trailer
notable hahahaha credit
donors blocks anticipated and
it was an accident that your seven seasons
he seasons from now will be and the final that season
administer wondering if you know how your alternate
if you're starting to think about the fine
ality of of the shot that is
donning
by uh... you know i i conservatives people reported that it is it's it's
great to have a job but you know you're going to have
as an tur
let's that rarely if ever happens
uh... it's also great to know that
it you're telling a story that
is no treadmill
but you're telling stories beginning middle and end
uh... and
there certainly examples of of
shows that have gone on too long overstay their welcome
and that's not something that i find interesting
and i think we've we've established
uh... some incredible characters and establishment uh... a beautiful world
and show that and that hopefully will have some lasting impacts of yet at the
idea that map and and all of us
will get a chance to end it
on our terms
is uh... is a pretty one full opportunity
thinking you know it's not second stone if it's early but that's where we are
ever had
about how that i would say that failed the argentine like twenty bucks an hour
earlier all think that's why i can't sustain it will suit you know how how
freaked out again when we get there but now i i i how i do not want overseer
welcome but i would like to say one thing because i've never
it just happened from end up with the first season
really causing a run and then i have this quote from back in my face
and then now i'm being asked constantly how it's gonna and was good and can i
just say just as a life philosophy
it's there's a whole season having seen yet lets in july
what's going on right now in fact
