Jaime Pressly, 'My Name Is Earl'

Best Supporting Actress, Comedy

"This [Emmy win] is important to me because I finally changed everybody's mind and had the opportunity to show what I could do."

Jeremy Piven, 'Entourage'

Best Supporting Actor, Comedy

"We all have our demons, we all have our shadow.... I don't think it's me winning this, it's this character, this aggressive Type-A wrecking ball."

America Ferrera, 'Ugly Betty'

Best Actress, Comedy

"Now I have to set my heights even higher."

David Chase, 'The Sopranos'

Best Series, Drama

"The best part of [winning the Emmy for best series, drama] was the huge standing ovation that our cast got. That was really amazing, and it was really fitting."

Helen Mirren, 'Prime Suspect'

Best Lead Actress, Miniseries or Movie

"I don't believe in astrology but I'll be very interested to see what my astrology says about this year -- 'you will meet disappointment' probably."

Conan O'Brien, 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien'

Best Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program

"I had a giant Emmy shelf built years ago, capable of holding 500 Emmys, but then they didn't come. So this will sit on there and look very sad."

Tina Fey, '30 Rock'

Best Series, Comedy

"[The Emmy win] legitimizes us a little bit. I myself am going to celebrate by overeating."

James Spader, 'Boston Legal'

Best Actor, Drama

"I really thought anybody but myself." "To be fair, everyone who was nominated was deserving but with it being James[Gandolfini's] last season on 'Sopranos' and Hugh Laurie is due for one of these. And I told Kiefer [Sutherland] that I use him as an example as the hardest worker of all of us. He's in every scene and every frame. It could've been anybody but me."

Sally Field, 'Brothers & Sisters'

Best Actress, Drama

"That's life. I didn't have a point to get across, I didn't have an agenda. I wanted to pay homage to mothers, especially the mothers who wait for their children to come home from war. If they bleep it ... oh well. I'll just say it someplace else."
