Constance Zimmer

I've been in the fortunate position of playing these strong, snarky female characters since Dana Gordon on 'Entourage.' ”

You look at Kerry Washington on 'Scandal,' and a lot of the women on that show in general are very strong, and I think we're seeing it more, and I'm excited because when I was doing Dana Gordon on 'Entourage,' there weren't a lot of strong female characters, which is why I think she came out as such a standout character. ”

On my first day on the set of 'Boston Legal,' I thought the director was calling me 'Candice' instead of 'Constance.' But I didn't realize he was actually talking to Candice Bergen. ”

I'm kind of a 'Daily Show,' Bill Maher junkie. I listen to NPR and I still get the 'New York Times' paper delivered to my door, even though I live in L.A. ”

I have the Muji pen that has different colors. My daughter loves to play hangman, or we draw. It's important you can draw a rainbow at all times. ”

My body is the way it is - it's never going to be a body like Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolie. We're all different, and we're all unique. ”

Being on 'House of Cards' really has given me so much more than just a job; the interactions I have had with real White House correspondents, other journalists and bloggers relating to my character Janine - and their thanking me for representing them - has been extraordinary. ”

You don't realize it till you get older as an actor, but all the parts you've gotten have led you up to today - good, bad, and otherwise. ”

For as long as I can remember, my acting crush has been Meryl Streep. ”

I never watched reality shows. I was obviously very aware of them because they're everywhere, but I was not somebody who watched them. ”
