More quotes by George Meyer
I tend to look at the world more from Voltaire's perspective. Incidentally, if you haven't read Candide lately, it's a fabulous book. It's riotously, laugh-out-loud funny in a way that no Shakespeare comedy will ever be.
George Meyer
There's a built-up tension in religion, and if you can release it, you'll get a huge and satisfying laugh.
George Meyer
I want to be tolerant of other people's beliefs. I have wonderful friends who are religious, and I don't want to say that they're dimwits. They should certainly be able to pursue what works for them. I'm just saying that it doesn't work for me and I don't want to pretend that it does.
George Meyer
Men often struggle with their attraction to other women. They don't quite understand why they have to be with the same woman forever.
George Meyer
When people have no interest in a subject, it's very hard to get them to laugh about it.
George Meyer
The most oblivious people are often the happiest.
George Meyer
I don't like that The Simpsons are spokespeople for Burger King and MasterCard and Butterfinger. In the first Gulf War, I was really upset that the Simpsons characters were being drawn on tanks and bombs. But those are things that I don't control.
George Meyer
You have to respect people's suffering. To deny that the world is unfair and painful for most of the people living in it would be false and judgmental.
George Meyer
I'm not religious. I do have a baby - a four-month old girl - and that's a religion in itself.
George Meyer
Life is challenging for everyone. If someone can believe that he's a sovereign in his tiny domain, it's just an adaptation to life.
George Meyer
I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general.
George Meyer
Launching a new TV show is probably one of the most difficult things that a writer can do.
George Meyer
I don't remember a lot of what I write. I try to release it after it's out there so that I can be fresh again.
George Meyer
I have nothing but respect for the purist who won't work for the pharaoh. But I'm not that strong.
George Meyer
I'm enthralled by the national yearning that the Russians had during the 50s and 60s. The whole century was pretty rough for them. They suffered genocide, war, poverty, and half the population was sent to labor camps. But they were determined to get into space first.
George Meyer
Advertising is a conscienceless industry, populated by cowards and idiots, that warps and drains everyone. It eggs on the worst in all of us. If I could eliminate either advertising or nuclear weapons, I would choose advertising.
George Meyer
I love that Voltaire was so willing to shock his readers with arbitrary cruelty. And I can completely relate to it.
George Meyer
There's absolutely no way that something I do on my own is going to be seen in Malaysia.
George Meyer
I resisted parenthood for a long, long time. But having a daughter has given me a sense of hopefulness that I didn't have before.
George Meyer
I prefer to linger on the periphery before making a commitment.
