Fox is notorious for having a very thick skin about taking shots at themselves.
Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.
The Simpsons are ugly-looking, and they should be. That's what works. That's one of the things that's funny.
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.
I don't smoke much pot anymore.
At one point, I was hell-bent on being a Disney animator, and sort of got over that in college and wanted to do my own stuff. You know, towards the end of college I had actually planned to go to the Boston Conservatory of Music for musical theater.
I think at times I read too much of my own press. I wish I was better at taking in how great my life is, but that's surprisingly elusive. I tend to be very hard on myself and insecure about failing no matter what happens.
I'm wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That's what they do in normal places, but Hollywood's not normal.
I always thought it would be funny to have the Parents Television Council write an episode of 'Family Guy' and give them full creative control. Then see how good the episode is. That's something we've actually discussed in the writers' room. We haven't proposed it yet, but if somebody from the PTC reads this, it might be worth discussing.
I distrust all television doctors.
'American Dad' is, by its nature, much more political.
The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.
Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.
With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.
