I'm a fan of animation and so, the more stuff that doesn't look like the other stuff that's out there, I'm in favor.

Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

I was always frightened by taverns. They just seemed like very unpleasant places to go.

The world ends when I die. And as far as I'm concerned, the rest of the universe might as well call it a day too.

When The Simpsons came around, there really was nothing else like it on TV. It's hard to imagine, but when Fox first took the plunge with it, it was considered controversial to put animation on prime time.

'The Simpsons' is about alienation and the ambivalence of living with a family who you love but who drive you completely crazy.

The really great thing about having two TV shows going on at the same time is that I can go to one and say that I have to go and visit the other and then I can just go home and they don't know.
