The thing about animals that speaks to me so much is that my passion for the animals and against animal abuse is based on the knowledge that these creatures which think and feel can't speak for themselves. I feel it is my responsibility to speak for those who can't speak for themselves.

Thanks to Bart Simpson, I have a pretty good life.

I feel so guilty when I see orcas performing their stupid tricks in their little swimming pools, and when I see circuses or elephant abuse. I don't want to be in the same industry with these people.

In the pressure cooker of a TV show, it’s a little bit of a witches’ brew. I completely think I’m capable of being crazy. I probably was crazy when I was doing 'The Simpsons'.

Everything that the Sam Simon Foundation does is supposed to help dogs and people - that's our mission.

I want medical experiments on animals stopped. They don't do anything, and they don't work.

Work made me crazy. I was tough to get along with.
