When you sit down and write a song, you kind of have the idea for the song, and you sit there at the piano and you kinda just write it. And then of course later there's some dinking around with it and changing some stuff. But there's this thing that happens when the song first comes out, that sort of magic when it first comes out of the ether, and you can't even really explain where it comes from. That happens so much with music, and people understand that with music. But I really think that a lot of movie and TV should be the same way.

Me and Matt love to argue, but in general our sense of humor is pretty much alike.

Even from the very beginning, I didn't put any money in the stock market.

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.

I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.

I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like 'Full House' that I think would make them stupid.

Any job is a job. If you have to be doing something, then you're probably not enjoying it.
