You would use quick in that situation, because you want an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns, adverbs (like quickly) modify verbs.

The dog is small. (Adjective)

The dog ran quickly. (Adverb)

Yeah I see .. but the use of "very" here is confusing coz I'm not sure if it could be used to modify another adverb (like quickly) or just to modify adjectives (like quick)

It can be used to modify both adverbs and adjectives

You ran very quickly
You are very quick

Those are both natural sounding sentences

Ok..what about
"We're not from the US originally"
What does the adverb "originally" midify in this sentence??

In that case, "originally" could also come behind the word "not" and still be acceptable, so it it modifying "not." "We're not originally from the US." is just as natural as saying "We're not from the US originally."
