David Mandel Quotes

• I think that's part of being a comedy writer. You have to be confident. If you're sitting around worrying about, like, oh my God, what are people going to think, then you're not writing comedy. You have to write what makes you laugh, and then the world hopefully laughs as well.

• I think it's a fun thing, and perhaps maybe very so slightly as an American, it's a slightly different thing that they didn't do as much of when the show was 100 percent written by Brits just because I'm not sure they were quite as familiar with some of these little moments in our government system.

• I think the fact that they all served under her as a president is a strong pull. Here's a perfect example: George Stephanopoulos. He has a full on career in the media of his own, and yet on some days he's still George Stephanopoulos who worked for the Clintons. As much as he's done on his own, he's still in the Clinton orbit and it comes back up all the time.

• Una de las cosas interesantes es que, obviamente, están "Scandal", "House of Cards" y "West Wing". Aparte de esa película de Jack Lemmon y James Garner sobre ex presidentes, nadie ha hecho nada en este ámbito, mientras que muchas veces, hacemos una historia en la que alguien dice: "Oh, sí, hicieron que alguien se acostara con un agente del Servicio Secreto en 'House of Cards'".

• I do think that's one of the strengths of the show is every year there's sort of the giant rock gets thrown into the stream and Selina has to figure out how to get around the rock. It's in Veep's DNA, whether anyone realized it or not, to constantly be changing.
