To my surprise, I have an Emmy nomination, and I have never even been to the Emmys! So it's like I am Cinderella. But actually having thought about it, I am Cinder-elder!

It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.

Listen, I would love to win an Emmy at some stage or another. I can't pretend not to.

Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.

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

I've won several Emmys, a Tony and a Grammy, so maybe somebody will let me have an Oscar, and then I'll have a full set.

I've been working every year since I started acting, and I got many awards before I won the Oscar for 'The Queen.'

I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.

I think the most important thing about the Emmys stuff is just to enjoy it. It can get really stressful in weird ways, and I have definitely experienced that. This year, I really just want to have it be a fun celebration!

When you feel an audience engaged and surprised and enthusiastic, reacting to what you've planned, that is the reward. It's better than the Emmys.
