Comedy is often about pain.

I'm an Aries. I need everybody to like me.

Before The Simpsons, I was 4 years old, so I don't know exactly what I was thinking before that.

They [ The Simpsons] are just like the Bible to me as far as what the high-water mark of comedy.

The Simpsons was pretty experimental at the time, but it attracted a lot of sitcom writers that felt confined by the limitations of live-action sitcoms in the '80s.

I do think homophobia in the '80s was more rampant and socially acceptable.

The president is the country's scapegoat more than the country's leader; the president has as much power as we think the president has. Whoever has the most money is the puppet master.
