I think any time someone’s dreams are crushed, there’s the people who can fight to still try and fulfill those dreams and then there’s the people who just give up.

I think I brush the surface of being involved politically with the issues and the personalities in the news.

I have this obsession with really cool, old books.

You can’t really compare any TV show to a show written by Aaron Sorkin.

I’m kind of a ‘Daily Show,’ Bill Maher junkie. I listen to NPR and I still get the ‘New York Times’ paper delivered to my door, even though I live in L.A.

I’m much nicer then all my characters, let’s just put it that way.

Everybody always thinks I’m a lesbian because I’m a very tough broad. I have a lot of lesbian fans.

I definitely learned about the inner workings of campaigns enough to know that I’m glad that I’m not in politics.
