JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at 'I Dream of Jeannie' - I mean, he's a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award.

Charlene Tilton

When I got recognized as a writer, when I got the Emmy, I was more excited than the Emmys I had gotten as an actor.

If 'Drag Race' gets an Emmy nomination, I will put on a red glittery face mask over my mouth and I will lip-sync to an Ariana Grande song.

I would do anything I could to try to make sure that Lena Headey wins an Emmy.

Alex Graves

Would Wins Win

Someone said I wasn't attractive enough. People say those things, but they make you stronger. Then you can win an Emmy and think, ha, ha, ha.

Allison Janney

You Win Those

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

Allison Janney

Great Art You

I don't think I have ever worn more outfits over the course of four days than I did Emmy weekend. You barely sleep. You don't eat.

Allison Tolman

You Worn Weekend

The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.

Allison Williams

Movies Great You

Tinseltown is eerily silent when The Oscars, The Emmys and The Grammys, The Sag Awards, and The Golden Globes aren't in full swing.

Amanda Eliasch

War Car Wing

I think that the wonderful advantage we have in the film of being able to cast a girl as young as Emmy and which we couldn't do in the theatre of course because no girl of 16 or 17 could sing 8 shows a week, couldn't sing two.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Age Young You

I've been nominated for 12 Emmys, and we won - for 'Top Chef' - the only time I didn't go.

Andy Cohen

Time Won Top

I was so grateful to win an Emmy, but just being nominated, it's not overrated!

Ann Dowd

Win Us Ted

When I won the Emmy, the profound sense of gratitude when my name was said I cannot express enough. It was one of the most beautiful moments, hands down, of my life.

Ann Dowd

Mom Men Life

I just always knew I wanted to be an actor. I gave my Emmy acceptance speech when I was 11. But, I wasn't allowed to do plays and things like that. It was considered dangerous. My parents didn't think it was safe for a girl to do that, and they definitely didn't think it was interesting to participate in the arts.

Azita Ghanizada

Art Anger Wed

I listen to Emmylou Harris. She's my favorite. I don't know why, but I just feel more creative with her playing.

Bill Plympton

Yin Wit Why

You have to have a sense of humor about all of it - the Emmys and politics and everything.

Billy Eichner

Politics Humor You

I didn't know I was cool, but I was very flattered that some of the younger comedy writers came up to talk to me at the Emmys. I found that gratifying.

Bob Newhart

Cool Younger Young

The night I won the Emmy, I probably cried for three hours on and off.

Brad Garrett

Won Three T

I think the Emmy obviously is very prestigious and is the gold standard obviously in terms of television. But the Oscars go beyond that. I believe children, when they're growing up, dream of holding that Oscar.

Brad Grey

Car Wing Win

I'm most excited to meet Jon Hamm at the Emmys.

Bree Turner

Ted T Most

Generally with the Oscars or the Emmys there isn't much you can do until the nominations are announced. Then you know what kind of year you're dealing with - what's been overlooked, what the issues are.

Bruce Vilanch

Car You Year

When 'Lost' was over, we expected that there'd be some people who'd really like it and other people who wouldn't. The Emmy nominations are an indication to us that there were a fair number of people who did like the way we concluded our story.

Carlton Cuse

I was an Emmy nominee and an Emmy snub.

Carrie Coon

I love Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Adele.

Casey Wilson

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

Cat Deeley

Jimmy Kimmel has proven to be a preeminent voice in comedy, with 15 seasons of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' under his belt and successfully tackling the herculean task of hosting both the Emmys and the Oscars in the same season.

Channing Dungey

JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at 'I Dream of Jeannie' - I mean, he's a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award.

Charlene Tilton

The Emmy will have no effect on me, from the standpoint that you've still got to wash your bowl after breakfast.

Charles Keating

Well I was out in the garden moving rocks on the day of the Emmys. I was just playing in the dirt.

Charles Keating

When I die, it's going to read, 'Game Show Fixture Passes Away.' Nothing about the theater, or Tony Awards, or Emmys. But it doesn't bother me.

Charles Nelson Reilly

I really feel like 'True Blood' is a big, giant slice of cake for the audience every week; it's offering people 60 minutes of sometimes thought-provoking entertainment. If you're gonna give an Emmy out, you should probably give it to the audience of 'True Blood.'

Chris Bauer

The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.

Chris Bauer

I've taught people in improv classes, then watched them move to Los Angeles to become Emmy winners and movie stars. That experience, for anyone wondering, is both super exciting and also makes you put a microscope on your own life choices. It causes you to question why you still perform stand-up in so many Brooklyn basements.

Chris Gethard

I'm an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and one of the children, his wish was to go to the Emmys, so he's going to be my date, along with my husband, and my dad and his girlfriend. So we're going to have a really fun night and it's going to be really exciting. I'm really excited for him to experience that.

Christina Hendricks

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.

Christopher Judge

For my birthday this year, my girlfriends - who knew I'd just inherited my dad's turntable - gave me a carton of albums like 'Blue Kentucky Girl,' by Emmylou Harris, and 'Off the Wall,' by Michael Jackson. It's all stuff we grew up with. I mean, you can't have a music collection without Prince's 'Purple Rain' - it just can't be done!

Connie Britton

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!

Connie Britton

I always choose to remember the moment that was the best of Jeanne Cooper - those photos where she's in that wild dress triumphantly hoisting up the Emmy the night she finally won the damn thing. She was so proud, so happy.

Corbin Bernsen

It's ridiculous that we let broadcast and cable shows compete against each other at the Emmys. They are not the same animal.

Courtney A. Kemp

There's always going to be a part of me that wants an Emmy. Truthfully, I'm probably more motivated by people being entertained. I'm more motivated by people being like, 'Oh snap! Did you see that?'

Courtney A. Kemp

I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I'd like to have a Tony.

Cyndi Lauper

Does Catherine O'Hara deserve an Emmy? Absolutely.

Dan Levy

You always want to look your best at events like the Globes, Emmys, or Oscars. It's a part of the business that I am not particularly comfortable with. I would prefer to turn up in a pair of jeans and an old shirt, but it's all about image - the studio wants you to look your best.

David Harewood

I have an Emmy, but it's no big deal: work in TV news long enough, you eventually get one.

Deborah Copaken Kogan

I've been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes, but I've never won one and I probably never will.

Denis Leary

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.

Dick Van Dyke

Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.

Dick Van Dyke

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.

Dinah Shore

When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.

Dolly Parton

It's funny: when I started playing bass in 1984, you had guys like Paul Simonon fron the Clash, John Paul Jones, Lemmy, and Nikki Sixx was the head guy in Motley Crue, and you had all this post-punk stuff like Magazine and Killing Joke where the bass sort of lead the way. Not that I picked it to sort of be a main dude, but it intrigued me.

Duff McKagan

Lemmy Kilmeister is most certainly a rocker.
