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.

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.

When people fail to recognize your work just don't give up yet. Because it's not always about the recognition, sometimes it's about the "passion" that we hold onto..!!!

Beauty is only there when you have the ability to see and appreciate it.

Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls.

Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.

To deserve this fate what have I ever done?... All I want is just a little piece of mind but the angels won't have it.

Come be the fire inside of me, come be the flame upon my heart. Come be the fire inside of me until You and I are one.

Christina Stead has a Chinese say, "Our old age is perhaps life's decision about us" or, worse, the decision we have made about ourselves without ever realizing we were making it.

Marketing tells a story that spreads. Sales overcomes the natural resistance to say yes.
