I love her, and I think she likes me okay?

I almost spit-took at that question. You'll have to ask my husband...HA!

Favorite Veep moment? I love "croissant for a dildo", I love when Selina leaves in the middle of Mike's pitching jokes, I love the nickname-athon from season 1, I love when Mike and Amy can't figure out who's on the phone during the abortion episode, I love Jonah" "fk load of bread" moment, his "this band's not for sale, I need some nuts" moment, his, "joke's on you coz I love fkin' burritos" moment. The debate. And, lastly, I truly believe Julia and Gary's scene when she tells him she's president is one of the most perfectly executed, honestly portrayed, and dramaturgically sound pieces of television to date.

Thanks!

Laura Schiller was indispensable to us in preparing for the first season. She's Barbara Boxer's Chief of Staff, and she lent me her time and energy to help me understand the job. I got the "blackberry-arm-attachment" thing from her. Her phone was like an extension of her arm, and I noticed she never put it away. She explained it's both a handcuff to the job and a ticket to be away from the job as well. Double-edged smartphone. So, I decided, Amy would never be without her phone as long as she was Chief of Staff.

Ha! "Blood Car" was a cuckoo fun movie I filmed with friends I met on another indie film, more than a decade ago. Alex Orr directed and cowrote it, and Hugh Brazelton was camera op. They were my buddies, and asked if I wanted to come to Atlanta to film this satirical horror. The script made me die laughing, so I did it, and we had a blast. I also discovered a weakness for Chick-Fil-A nuggets on that shoot.

No. But it would have been '98.
