Christina Applegate, “I am incredibly grateful and honored. But I am over the moon for Jean Smart, who is such a sublime talent.”

Alec Baldwin, “I’m flattered to be nominated. Congratulations to Tina [Fey] and everyone at 30 Rock. The writers do a wonderful job, and I hope we have some success in September.”

Charlie Sheen, “I’m extremely proud of our show … I am more excited for my fellow Two and a Half Men nominees.”

Tom Bergeron, “Want to see … the glamorous life of an Emmy nominee: When we’re done talking, I’m getting in my 1978 Volkswagen beetle convertible and driving to the garage so they can install a windshield [part]. Nothing like show business!”

Howie Mandel, “I was in bed and I watched [the announcement]. I’ve never been this excited with no pants on and my wife still sleeping!”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “I’m not going to start drinking. I’m going to start exercising so I can fit into my Emmy dress. By the way, I’m not kidding. I’m actually going to go and have a massive workout this morning.”

Kyra Sedgwick, “I’m thrilled. It’s fantastic, it’s wonderful. It’s funny because this morning I woke up at 5:20 L.A. time, and I sort of was half – I mean, actually, that’s a lie – I was wholly waiting for the phone to ring.”

Sally Field, “I’m very honored. It never gets old. I do, but it doesn’t.”

Jean Smart, “I’m really happy, incredibly flattered and surprised! I am working out of state right now and forgot they were being announced this morning! I’m especially excited that Christina [Applegate] and I can go dress-hunting together.”

America Ferrera, “It’s exciting. You kind of just mentally prepare yourself for either way, like if it happens, great, if it doesn’t. … But in the moment, that kind of all goes out the window and you hope it does.”

Will Arnett, “My parents always told me it was important to be a good guest, so I feel like they deserve the credit,”

Amy Poehler, “I’m so excited, thrilled. It was an awesome year for Saturday Night Live. I continue to be honored to be on that show. I think the people I work with are the funniest people I television.”
