Animals are not here for our entertainment.

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'.

Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this.

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

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.

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

I was very concerned about helping animals improve their situations. But that was out of love. It wasn't political or out of a belief that animals had rights.
