I'm a fan of animation and so, the more stuff that doesn't look like the other stuff that's out there, I'm in favor.
Living creatively is really important to maintain throughout your life. And living creatively doesn't mean only artistic creativity, although that's part of it. It means being yourself, not just complying with the wishes of other people.
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
You just have to keep in mind that the important relationship is the relationship with the audience. That's what I try to do. Everything else is secondary.
I know all those words, but that sentence makes no sense to me.
I draw a weekly comic strip called Life in Hell, which is syndicated in about 250 newspapers. That's what I did before The Simpsons, and what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
I would prefer to listen to a French classical composer like Olivier Messiaen than to the pop hits of the day.
I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals flaming.
Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
Masturbation is nothing to be ashamed of. It's nothing to be particularly proud of, either.
God often gives nuts to toothless people.
