Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the World Premiere of Universal Pictures' Get Him to the Greek.

Elisabeth Moss - 'Daphne' in Get Him to the Greek

You are hilarious in this.

Elisabeth Moss: "That's very nice of you. Thank you."

Were you a fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall?

Elisabeth Moss: "Yes, I actually was a fan of all these movies, you know, even though I'm not like a teenage boy. I'm not the audience. No, I'm really not despite rumors. I was a fan but never thought I... It was like the cool crowd that I was like, 'I'm never going to be a part of that.' So I was really honored to be asked to be a part of it - that anyone thought I could be funny."

Do they have their own secret handshakes?

Elisabeth Moss: "Not that I know of, unless they didn't teach it to me."

Maybe that's the next film.

Elisabeth Moss: "Maybe you have to do two. I'll get back to you."

Being with Jonah Hill in this, what was that like? You guys actually have some chemistry in this which was very cute.

Elisabeth Moss: "Thank you. Yeah, that was really important to us. There's so much that happens in the film that's like so negative about their relationship, and about relationships in general, and it was really important to us to establish that they could be a couple and that they should be a couple, and that you believed in them."

I was pulling for you guys.

Elisabeth Moss: "That's awesome because that was very important to us. We actually worked really hard on that, rewriting things and improv'ing and trying to moments where they could be a good couple, you know, even if it was just her laughing at him for a second."

And Nicholas Stoller [the writer/director] let you guys go off the script all the time, so that must have been really easy.

Elisabeth Moss: "Yeah. It was really great because it's also...it's a funny idea of improv because it is improv, but at the same time there are bits that you want to hit. There are lines that you want to hit. And Nick would come up to us and say, 'Okay, we're going to say this and then you're going to go to this moment and then you're going to go to this joke,' and becomes about just like keeping it straight in your head what moments you're supposed to hit. And it's all new, all the time. It's very scary."

And then when you get tag-teamed by Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, that must have been a fun scene.

Elisabeth Moss: "It was. I mean they're great together. You almost just want to watch them, you know, watch them go. It's fascinating. It's a little bit like a car crash. But it was great. It was obviously sort of a climatic scene for the film and it was really important to us that it was funny. We didn't care about anything else but that people laughed. And it was oddly easier than we all thought it was. It was great."

I imagine there's a lot of extras on the DVD of that scene.

Elisabeth Moss: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

I am probably the only person on the planet, and I apologize for this, who's never seen Mad Men. Everybody tells me to watch it.

Elisabeth Moss: "You've got to watch it."

I have to start at the beginning though, right?

Elisabeth Moss: "Oh, yes, absolutely. You have to start at the beginning. You know, a lot of people will pick up wherever, and wherever you can is great. But to me you to see the pilot. Like I don't know how you could understand the rest of the show without seeing the pilot. So, you have to start at the beginning."

Why is it that everybody is so in love with the show?

Elisabeth Moss: "Well if you would watch it, you would know. You wouldn't have to ask me. I think it's the fact that it's about people. You know, I think originally it was about the '60s and advertising, and that was really cool and exciting. And I think that ultimately it became about people and that's something everyone can identify with, you know?"
