I've eaten part of my tooth. I had a weird cavity that broke apart in my teeth - this is a bad story. I was eating and thought, 'It's like I'm swallowing rocks,' and then I checked and part of my tooth is missing. I ate it.

With Richard Splett, he's like the only character on 'Veep' that has no angle. He's guileless. He also believes in the power of government.

I feel that, a lot of times, Detroiters have an aversion to seeing nice new things come into Detroit. But I'm like, 'What's wrong with that? Everywhere else has it! Why can't we?'

I've worked on shows where the set was very morose and boring, kind of like nobody wanted to be there. I felt that affects the work.
