I was about two years old when I first started drawing recognizable characters.

I'm from Connecticut, and we don't have any dialects. Well, I don't think we have any dialects, and yeah, it's very complex. That Rhode Island/Massachusetts New England region is arguably the hardest dialect to nail.

There are people on staff who have made that point, that the upside to a second Bush term is that it makes 'American Dad' work better. To me, the price is too high. I would gladly give up the comedy to have a President Kerry. But you work with what you have.

The Simpsons are ugly-looking, and they should be. That's what works. That's one of the things that's funny.

The only reason we die, is because we accept death as an inevitability.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

We never really tried to shock for shock's sake on 'Family Guy.' If something was horribly offensive and shocking we would put it in if it was also hysterically funny.
