Everybody is clever, just in their own ways

My standard comment is, If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.

You just have to keep in mind that the important relationship is the relationship with the audience. That's what I try to do. Everything else is secondary.

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.

I have to say that The Simpsons comes from a huge number of great writers headed by Al Jean, the show-runner, and the work that they do is really fantastic. It's a blast just to sit around with them in the writers' room and listen to all the filthy jokes that will never get on the air.

I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman. Homer Simpson

Me fail English? That's unpossible.
