Part One: Eisenberg talks acting background, career beginnings, perfectionism and landing the role of Mark Zuckerberg.
Part Two: Woody Allen, feeling guilty about playing Zuckerberg, reining in his desire to make him more sympathetic, defending his character.
Part Three: Zuckerberg as a creative and defensive person, addressing the misogyny issue, "this movie is respectful to its characters," Facebook as a living thing.
Part Four: Feedback, actors as a cog in a wheel, Fincher's meticulous directing style, multiple takes shooting on video, the awards circuit.

Thank you for this, Anne. This is the interview I've been waiting for since the promotional blitz for The Social Network began. In-depth, thought-provoking, intelligent and incredibly entertaining. It was perfect.

This is the best interview I've seen in the last 5 years. The expressions and reactions of Jesse are great. It is the least scripted / most open type of discussion with a brilliant young actor.

Even though the background noise was terribly distractive, the camera work and co-operation of Mr. Eisenberg made Ms. Thompson's interview a very important work. The truths expressed were so insightfull, I don't think that I have seen a better portrayal of Eisenberg. Thank you so much. It was magical.
