You know, the courts may not be working any more, but as long as everyone is videotaping everyone else, justice will be done.

I would prefer to listen to a French classical composer like Olivier Messiaen than to the pop hits of the day.

'The Simpsons' was about children and married parents; 'Futurama' is about people in between; they're growing up and haven't settled down. Every other cartoon show seemed to be, you know, dumb dad, bratty kids.

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

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've been deadline-driven for my whole grown-up life, and that hasn't gone away. It is nice to be able to reflect about the big picture, about what kind of stories you want to tell, and how to take advantage of success.

Let's face it, all the good stuff happens after midnight.
