I remember doing a lot of comedy. I always loved that feeling when you do something on stage and you can feel the vibe of the audience turn, and they start laughing. It's how you know something's not right, and how to fix it, or how to make the moment stronger or funnier.

There are things that can only be said with a good string of cussing. I'm definitely fond of a few choice words. They say things that nothing else can say. Gotta love it.

It's very rare to have rehearsal time on a television show: You get scripts, you show up, and you do it.

The only bipartisan place in D.C. is Brooks Brothers.

What's fascinating about D.C., the exteriors are these elaborate structures, this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework, and then you go inside and it's crap-looking - apart from the White House, which is beautiful.

I've had the opportunity to do a wide range of stuff, a lot of different characters and they've all had their own kind of thing.

If a D.C. event doesn't have crab cakes, it's low-rent and you need to flee.

I always admire people who do commercials because they have to put together a beginning, a middle, and an end in 30 seconds.

Like Woody Allen actually does this a lot in his movies, its kind of called magical realism where he has just kind of an everyday, these kind of everyday experiences and all the sudden something magical or supernatural will come into to and I just, I love that and I think everybody can kind of - everybody wants that at some point in their life.
