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

I promise I'll do anything for you, especialy if it's easy. Homer Simpson

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I always thought that television was the way to go in my goal to invade pop culture because it got to towns in which there were no bookstores. That's how I used to think of it: How do I reach kids who not only don't read but probably have no access to much in the way of books?

'Adult Swim' on the Cartoon Network is unbelievable. And 'South Park' continues to do great stuff. And 'Family Guy' and the various other Seth MacFarlane projects are amazing.

Cartooning is for people who can't quite draw and can't quite write. You combine the two half-talents and come up with a career.

The thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work.
