I grew up completely overwhelmed by TV, and part of the reason why I have gone into television is as a way to justify to myself all those wasted hours of watching TV as a kid. I can now look back and say, 'Oh, that was research.'

I personally like the idea of newspapers. It's a good format. You can read it in whatever order you want. You can glance at it. There is something about a single screen and scrolling through pages that just doesn't have the same appeal.

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

If God didn't want us to eat cows, why are they made out of meat?

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

I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I will do it again.

If people only knew how much I secretly hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
