People only respond to fear.

Writing is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. It's the best.

I always enjoy conversation more if there is some substance to it - which is a just incredibly hilarious thing for me to say because for many, many years I was the guy whose only contribution to any conversation was, 'There was a funny 'Simpson's' joke about that.'

In production, in the first couple of weeks of production, that it was more like making an internet musical.

I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good.

An audience who watches my shows knows who I am, knows that right when they think I'm going to make a joke, I'm going to blow something up, or during the worst peril, I'm going to have someone give someone a kiss - it's just going to happen.

You give my regards to St. Peter, or whoever has his job, but in Hell.
