Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

If you're reading a comic strip, you can read it at any speed you want. But with film and music, the audience has to take it the way the composer gives it.

I think we are destroying the minds of America and that has been one of my lifelong ambitions.

Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.

I don't really know what the average person thinks about animation. I think the average person thinks that it's made by cartoonists - and it used to be. When people think of The Simpsons, they think of Matt Groening. They don't think of whoever the 200 writers are.

There are artists who are writers, but there was no such thing as cartoons that were written by somebody who couldn't draw.
