I'm a level 5 vegan, I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

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.

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

I know for a fact, obviously, because my kids grew up watching the show, that there are some things they are introduced to from 'The Simpsons', and then later in life they see the thing we're parodying. My kids had not seen 'Casablanca,' and we'd done parodies of 'Casablanca.'

But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder.

The tendency in comedy is to have a character who's stupid get more stupid, because you're trying to top yourself and not just repeat.

On 'The Simpsons,' I will say that we definitely like to comment on what's going on in the world, and we try to be funny. If we can figure out a way of being funny about it, then we've gone part of the way of accomplishing our task.
