As for being on Twitter, I enjoy it tremendously, and it is wonderfully overwhelming to see people not just digging it and liking it.

Here’s one of the great things, and I may have said this somewhere, so forgive me. Curb ideas are not Veep ideas. I definitely have my Curb idea list that I’ve been carrying around for the last five years.

I do think that’s one of the strengths of the show is every year there’s sort of the giant rock gets thrown into the stream and Selina has to figure out how to get around the rock. It’s in Veep’s DNA, whether anyone realized it or not, to constantly be changing.

I think that’s part of being a comedy writer. You have to be confident. If you’re sitting around worrying about, like, oh my God, what are people going to think, then you’re not writing comedy. You have to write what makes you laugh, and then the world hopefully laughs as well.
