Stars react to the nominations for the 65th annual Emmy Awards, announced Thursday at television academy headquarters in Los Angeles:

— ‘‘It just goes to show you — good things happen to bad people.’’ — Jimmy Kimmel, on the four nominations for ‘‘Jimmy Kimmel Live.’’

— ‘‘I think it’s a musical number. I can just see those dancing demons.’’ — Emmy telecast producer Ken Ehrlich on how to incorporate lead nominee ‘‘American Horror Story: Asylum’’ into the ceremony.

— ‘‘What’s so great about this thing is it’s going to bring us all back together. A little family reunion. So we get to come back together and celebrate the time we had together and the work that we did. It’s very exciting.’’ — Aaron Paul, who helped announce the nominees and discovered he was among them with another supporting-actor nod for ‘‘Breaking Bad,’’ which wrapped its final season.

— ‘‘To be watching an effective politician, although diabolical, he does get (things) done, so obviously it has to be a fiction.’’ — Kevin Spacey, nominated for his leading role as a congressional leader in ‘‘House of Cards.’’

— ‘‘I loved playing Lana Winters more than I've loved playing any character I've ever played on television, and it feels like she got nominated and not me in a way. I know that sounds really hokey, but I feel really proud for her.’’ — Sarah Paulson, nominated for her work on ‘‘American Horror Story: Asylum.’’

— ‘‘I had a nice luxurious sleep-in and woke up to all these wonderful messages.’’ — Christina Hendricks, who learned a little later than most people that she'd been nominated for best supporting drama actress nominee.

— ‘‘I want that hole in one. I want that.’’ — Don Cheadle, who reacted to his nomination for best actor in a comedy series from the golf course and said he still wanted one of golf’s rarest feats.

— ‘‘It’s Mandela Day AND my colleagues recognized Steel Magnolias? It’s a Great Day!’’ — Alfre Woodard in a statement about her nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie after her role on ‘‘Steel Magnolias.’’

— ‘‘I will definitely walk through the day with a little extra smile inside.’’ — Zachary Quinto, who was nominated for his role on ‘‘American Horror Story: Asylum.’’
