“Even though it’s fictional, there’s something very transparent about the show. I know a lot of people will say, ‘You think you know me, but you have no idea.’ And I feel like, ‘No. You probably do have a pretty good idea.’”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

“I had no sense of arrogance whatsoever about this thing. When you’re face-to-face with your mortality in the way that cancer takes you there — the pandemic I found to be strangely the same.”

Mindy Kaling

“There’s so many great production companies out there that have all these shows in the air, so they need a head of production, and they have lots of executives. That’s my dream, to get a lot of people eventually.”

Kate McKinnon

“People are often confused when they meet me because I’m soft-spoken and pensive. I am extraordinarily introverted.”

Maya Rudolph

“Before any thoughts of quarantine, I was feeling very burned out, I was weirdly well on my way to retooling, and I think I’m still there. I feel less ashamed to admit that I would like to go a bit slower.”

Sofia Vergara

“I was very young when I signed my first contract, and I did it myself. I needed a manager, and that didn’t exist for a Latina personality. It existed for Latina musicians, but not on TV.”
