If they think I'm going to stop at that stop sign, they're sadly mistaken!
Son, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you'd step over your own mother just to get one! But you can't stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!
The voice doesn't take a lot of effort now, but in the beginning it was hard to try to find a voice. The one I settled on was just easier to do for a half-hour.
One of my favorite episodes was the one in which Homer grew hair. That was a very unique episode, since there was a gay secretary, but that wasn't even the issue of the show-the issue was Homer's image changing because he had hair.
I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has.
It's the cushiest job, but some lines are so funny that I crack up.
I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.

Kids, kids. As far as Daddy's concerned, you're both potential murderers.

The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!
Marge, you being a cop makes you the man! Which makes me the woman - and I have no interest in that, besides occasionally wearing the underwear, which as we discussed, is strictly a comfort thing.
Marge, old people don't need companionship, they need to be isolated and studied to see what useful nutrients can be obtained from them...
