Awards Quote by Mitchell Hurwitz
“Thanks to the critics and thanks to the Emmys, we got all sorts of great reviews and notices and awards, at the start. Part of it is that it's great fortune to have something to live up to, but as creative people, we all have to just put that aside and go forward, make the best product we can, have as joyous of an experience as we can, and really remember that the spirit of this was to surprise the fans with something that they didn't see coming.”

![“We don't ask for opinions on our outfit all the time - but for a big of event, like the Emmys, absolutely. I actually sent my sister a picture of the [J Mendel] dress I wore to the Emmys before I chose it, and she was obsessed. She was like, "Oh, I want that." And I said, "Let me wear it first!"” quote by Kate Mara](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3d8/kate-mara-16974_asks_we-don-t-ask-for-opinions-on-our-outfit_330475.jpg)
