I'd be vegetarian if bacon grew on trees

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try.' Homer Simpson

Part of the fun of being alive is knowing that you're annoying the hell out of someone else.

I think 'Family Guy' and 'American Dad' have definitely staked out their own style and territory, and now the accusations are coming that 'The Simpsons' is taking jokes from 'Family Guy.' And I can tell you, that ain't the case.

Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.

Everybody doesn't have to get every joke. People really appreciate not being condescended to.

I may be biting off more than I can chew, but with 'The Simpsons' and with 'Futurama,' what I'm trying to do in the guise of light entertainment, if this is possible - is nudge people, jostle them a little, wake them up to some of the ways in which we're being manipulated and exploited.
