If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.

If a song is funny and absurd, and it sounds great, it's just going to be that much funnier. And there's no better example of that than 'Monty Python.'

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.

'Family Guy' has this weird thing of attracting people. People either hate it or can't get enough of it. There's really no one in between.

Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.

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

There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.
