Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.

We're making this as entertainment. But God willing, if this show stays on and people see a woman in that office for a while, I think it will help people become more used to it. It's certainly about time that we had a few female presidents.

It's a fantasy that we could have a president who could actually make choices based on what's right, rather than having to weigh the political fallout. But that's sort of what we're showing. ... And you can dream.

People want you to satisfy every possible dream or expectation they would have for a woman president, ... We still live at a time when a female president is controversial - even though it seems so bizarre that we've made it to the 21st century excluding half of the potential talent pool.

Will happen. It's just a question of when.

So many other countries have had female leaders, in fact the U.S. ranks 61st in female representation in government and I think it is startling and sign of a change that needs to be made.

I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.

I have an elbow that bends the wrong way, and I'd do things like stand in an elevator and the doors would close, and I'd pretend that my arm had got caught in it, and then I'd scream, 'Ow, ow, put it back!'

When my agents said I had been approached to play the president on this show, I said, `So do I have to read it first or will you just say yes now?' For Thelma to be the president is just delightful. It's certainly the role with the most gravitas that I've had to play. I love the way Mackenzie is in the world, how she deals with people, how straight she is and how intelligent and confident she is.
