Aaron Sorkin: There really aren’t many moments on The West Wing where I take my hands off the keyboard, and give the actor the ball and say, “It’s yours now.” You can’t do that with every actor, but I could do it with every actor on The West Wing. CJ has to breakdown without the help of any words at all. Allison had to kind of go from 0 to 100 by herself.

Allison Janney: That was unbelievably hard to do. In Times Square? That was very challenging. There was a guy that bumped into me. He hit me – and I love Alex Graves the director for this – I think he told him to hit me. It really knocked it out of me, and I started crying because I was so upset.

Aaron Sorkin: I told Alex to tell him to hit you.

Allison Janney: (laughing) All these people in Times Square were standing across the street, all watching me. I was performing literally on Broadway, more than I’ve ever been on Broadway before. It was really challenging. It was late and cold and rainy. I was like, “Please, I’m getting this.” Then that guy hit me, and I was like, “Oh, thank God!” And I felt this wave of emotion.

kinda funny when english teachers say stuff like “i can tell if you didnt read the book” or “i can tell when people bs their paper”

no you cant.  you can tell when people are bad at bs-ing their paper.  i didnt even read the sparknotes and i barely skimmed the wikipedia and you gave me an A.  you kneel before my throne unaware that it was born of lies
