As for being on Twitter, I enjoy it tremendously, and it is wonderfully overwhelming to see people not just digging it and liking it.

What I loved about it was language-wise it wasn't that finely-tuned-perfect-insult-for-the-perfect-situation that sometimes we try and do on Veep.

I was a Fry & Laurie fan, I was a Blackadder fan, I was a House fan and he [ Hugh Laurie]s a pleasure.

I'd like to give every member of our cast a best supporting comedy Emmy.

I love Veep so I felt like there was a lot I could bring to it.

All of a sudden, making a Spanish-American War joke. I think you sort of had to go to probably to an American high school to have remembered that.

If that had been my last show last night, you'd be talking to the new guy, asking the same questions that I got.

I'm certainly never going to say that someone is prettier than Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but someone who would make her crazy for being young and good-looking.

My first instinct was Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) cannot be president of the United States. She needs to lose because it's the thing she wants most on the planet Earth.

I'm a little bit of a news political junkie, a little bit of a reader of history.

I enjoy biographies and whatnot. I'm also a fan of presidential libraries. I've visited quite a few of them, especially the more modern ones.

Life's like the piano and the violin, it's about how smart you could play the melodies to make a good harmony.

Create something. Create something ugly. Create something beautiful.  I don't care what it is. Create it.

Although I love elegant parties, dancing and dining and spending the night with a sweet woman in my arms, my life belongs to literature.

Before you reach the point of forgiveness, you go through the phase where you pray... for every possible misfortune and ill luck to strike them dead while you sit and watch.

(Sometimes it seems that haters are just fans who are in denial.)

Gratitude is the most important of all human emotions.

I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process.

See what a good actress I am? I'm just typing over and over, "You're a good person, Mary Lynn! Hang in there! You can do it!"

I have no interest in emo. I'm all about rap metal.

Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us.
