JESSE: I was not aware that every major city had these critics’ awards. So while I’m so honored and it’s wonderful to be acknowledged and to be associated with this wonderful movie, you know, it’s a little overwhelming, too. I realize how many more cities there are that I haven’t been called about.
INTERVIEWER: You mean Billings, Montana’s Online Critic Society passed you over?
JESSE: Yeah, or the Bergen County Regional Actor Doing a Movie Related to Technology Award.

Jesse Eisenberg: Um, it was my idea.
Interviewer: Okay. It was on tape.
Jesse Eisenberg: That's true. There is proof. If you edit it a certain way it will look like I came up with it.

Andrew Garfield: You know, um, I feel like--I'm very proud to be a part of the film, um, and I adore everyone who was involved, and I think it's incredible--an incredible honor that the film has been recognized in such a wholly passionate way.
Jesse Eisenberg: I think the first thing was that Aaron Sorkin wrote this wonderful script and established these characters that, although they were in conflict with each other, they all had great arguments to make--and I think that was the first and the most important thing. And then the other thing is, you know, David Fincher's a master director and, you know, allowed all of us to excel, you know, all of us to play our characters with as much conviction as we could muster. And then of course the third part of it is a wonderful group of actors. Uh, it's young people who were working as hard as we ever have, humbled by this wonderful experience.
Armie Hammer: Uh, I think we all showed up with this one intent, which was to put our best foot forward and to, you know, for a lack of a better term, work our asses off and really make sure we did the best job we could. And we were there for each other for it, we, you know, supported each other and challenged each other, so it really just was a team environment. It wasn't, you know, a group of guys who all thought that, you know, that they were the best--it was like, "Oh, okay, do you want to run that scene?" It was really like a great experience.

subtle sass & passive aggressive trolling: yer...
JESSE EISENBERG: Every time I did anything wrong in school, [my aunt] would get the letter, you know, when I cut class or was not doing very well in school. She would get the letter, call me, and read it, just verbatim, 'You've received a letter saying you're cutting in school, and I don't think this is good, you should probably go back.' But it was much better than if, you know, the letter was sent to my parents, because, you know, my aunt had lived through two world wars, so she, you know, couldn't care less that I was missing a day of school.
JAY LENO: Right, right. You know, after World War II, your letter, not that big a deal.
JESSE EISENBERG: Even maybe World War I.
