Here's one of the great things, and I may have said this somewhere, so forgive me. Curb ideas are not Veep ideas. I definitely have my Curb idea list that I've been carrying around for the last five years.

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

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

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.

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

It's gratifying that people are watching that [Veep] intently and that hard. So it's been really nice and it's been really fun.
