  • Quotes
    [on developing his political comedy series 'Veep'] Watching the political process at the moment, one's instinct is to laugh because the alternative is to cry.That's where I come from, really. I believe people today are genuinely frustrated because they don't understand how so many clearly able people, concentrated in one locale, can't sort things out.
  • Trademarks
      His works tend to have lots of profane language
