When 'Family Guy' started, we wanted to make it more like a sitcom. And there was very little music.

I had - I was pretty hell bent on getting into the cartoon business specifically as an artist from the get-go.

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

I don't smoke much pot anymore.

The worst thing to happen at the Oscars would be if nothing happened. You want something unscripted, something to riff on, something kinda out there.

You gotta keep the funny intact.

With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.
