Most of the people who live in Washington come from other places and you can learn something from them.

We didn't come here to become Washington, we came here to change Washington.

I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.

We (actors) don't really change the world. We reflect it... but Washington really changes the world.

Everything we do is very, very touched by what happens in Washington.

I love Washington. I have an affection for the place. For a satirist, I think it's sort of Disneyland. I mean, you know, there's always some inspiration in the morning's headlines.

For more than eight decades, Washington has been my hometown. My whole orientation is toward this place.

Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.

I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.

We all went up to Washington on a mission to change things. What I found is that the Founding Fathers set it up where it's a little more difficult to do. We've got the Senate and the president to deal with.
