An Honor to Be Nominated: "My nominations were enough of an honor. Until my name wasn't called, at which time my dreams kicked into high gear."

Beat the Buzzer: "One of my memories of attending the Emmys was the night I won. It was emotional, heart-pounding, fun and exhilarating. By the time I got to the stage and turned around and faced the audience, I had spent so much time celebrating, there were only nineteen seconds left to give my entire speech."

Joined at the Hip: "I keep my Emmy statuette by my side at every moment. I take it with me as I go from room to room."
