I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favourite television series of all time.

The best episodes of 'The West Wing' that dealt with policy and stuff, in my opinion, were the ones where they were in the middle of a crisis, and they were trying to figure out how to solve problems.

It's funny because 'West Wing' is similar to 'Game of Thrones' in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then.

For Democrats, nothing is any less complex than a 'West Wing' episode.

I think 'The West Wing' hit at a moment in time that was just right for that show.

'West Wing' was huge. Like 'Hamilton,' it pulls back the curtain on how decision-making happens at the highest level, or at least how you hope it would be. The amount of information Aaron Sorkin packs into a scene gave me this courage to trust the audience to keep up.

I loved 'The West Wing'; it's my favourite-ever television show.

Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'

The thing with 'The West Wing' is that the fantasy was legitimately better than the reality - these were smarter, better people than their real-life counterparts, working together at a better White House than the one we had.
