Uzo Aduba about 'The Residence' at SCAD TVFest

I don't know, to be honest with you

I've been doing drama for the last couple years. I'm not quite sure, but it was really nice to get back into a comedic suit

which I don't feel like I've necessarily been doing recently. So that was great

It was great. Listen, Cordelia doesn't suffer fools. Cordelia Cup, that's my character

She does not suffer fools. she is very to the point, direct

She finds nothing funny about where the circumstance she finds herself for being here in the White House

And she's very straight to the point with most people, but in a sort of funny way

There is no place like this place. It is bigger than you

Gaming the house is literally bigger than me because that seems obvious

Unless it could be someone from the staff, could be a guest, could be anybody. This is a disaster

Are you suggesting that they had something to do with it? Is he a suspect? No

Is he not a suspect because he's not a suspect? Or is he not a suspect because you don't believe in suspect

Yes. Oh, my goodness. That production design, Francois, our designer, did an incredible job

He is amazing. It did It really honestly we would be in there and it was breathtaking They built we were on I think 11 stages 13 stages something like that Yeah And it was so elaborate so well detailed so gorgeous

You felt like you were in the White House. So at the beginning, the first couple days walking on, you kind of didn't want to sit down

because it felt like you were being disrespectful in the White House

and then you're like, oh, wait, this isn't real. but it was amazing

The White House actually wound up feeling like another character on the show, which was amazing

But it was amazing. It was great. We need to train carefully here

This is the White House. Did anything unusual happen? Other than my boss die

Other than that. Yes. It's been great. I'm just entering the toddler year

So she just started walking. She just started talking. And that's been amazing

It feels like a doll coming to life. I'm not joking. I see where the inspiration for Chuckie came

No. But no, it's amazing. It's amazing. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me

I love her so much. She's such a light in my life. And my greatest gift that I feel that I could give her is showing her how to be a full and complete woman in the world

and do everything that she wants to aspire to be. and to find that and make her happy
