The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.

So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.

Truly what the Emmys are about are the machine behind them, and Oscars are the same way, where if you have a big enough machine behind you, you get nominated, because truly how many of the best performances actually win... not many.

I was very fortunate in all of my career in television to have a lot of things that received a lot of awards recognition.

Emmys are wonderful and I'm thrilled to death that I have mine. But they're representative of a specific achievement, where this sort of thing is representative of how you've grown in your own industry.

To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.

I started writing because it was hard to find acting jobs. I didn't like any monologues in auditions, so I started to write my own things. Since then, I have written a couple of shows. I was nominated for playwright of the year for a play I wrote called 'Potential Space.'

It was very cool to be honored and be acknowledged in that way for the first time ever, being nominated for an Emmy.

Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.
