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

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.

The success of The Simpsons really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.

I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40s and 50s as opposed to the 60s and 70s. They get a little too drab for me when you get into the Spaghetti Western era. I love the John Ford movies. I love the music. I love the scope.

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.

Most of the outrage comes from not the public, but from the media, the press and writers.

There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.
