I just realized that there are going to be a lot of painful times in life, so I better learn to deal with them in the right way.

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.

I love life... Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness.

I hate puppets so much. I dream about puppets all night. I see strings on people. The nice thing is we can just take a puppet and put it in front of a wall and blow the shit out of it.

The problem is we moved to LA... The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.

Careful?! Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in womb?

I see Santa Claus and Joseph Smith and Luke Skywalker as the same person.
