"The ceremony is on my birthday, so it's like the best birthday present in the entire world... What a great birthday party. I think last year mine was at a sushi restaurant or something." — Lea Michele of "Glee," whose nomination for lead actress in a comedy series was one of the show's 19 nods.
___
"I've been planning going to the Emmys since I was 6 years old. So for me, getting the dress and all that kind of stuff, I was built for that. The Emmy dress finding machine starts now. I've been fueling it up for, you know, 30 years." — "The Office" star Mindy Kaling, nominated for writing an episode of the comedy series.

"I just arrived in Rome from Paris, which is not a bad transition to be making.

___
"It's a double celebration. It's my 21st anniversary today. However, when I turned to my wife and said, 'Is being nominated enough of an anniversary present for you?' And she said, 'No.' I went, 'OK. I'll be right back.'" — Bryan Cranston, nominated for lead actor in a drama series for "Breaking Bad."

"It's such a whirlwind. It's so fantastic. And my friends have went into the fridge and opened up a Sierra Nevada for me and said sorry we don't have any champagne for you." — Aaron Paul, on how he's celebrating his nomination for supporting actor in a drama series for "Breaking Bad."
