More quotes by Matt Groening
A lot of people believe that if everybody just did what they were told - obeyed - everything would be fine. But that's not what life is all about. That's not real. It's never going to happen.
Matt Groening
One of the great things about the Internet is that you can read what everybody has to say about everything. It is fascinating to me, the critiques about humor by people who have no sense of humor.
Matt Groening
When will I learn? The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV!
Matt Groening
Did you hear something? No. Did I hear something? ...I don't know.

I loved literary science fiction. In fact, as a kid, when I was reading science fiction, I thought 'I can't wait for the future when the special effects are good' to represent what was in these books by Arthur C. Clarke, Alfred Bester, Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard, Jack Vance.

This doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio, but not in America! Homer Simpson

When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work! (Homer Simpson)
Matt Groening
I always say that 'Futurama' is real, and 'The Simpsons' is fiction.
Matt Groening
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
Matt Groening
I went through a phase where people would introduce me at parties as a cartoonist, and everybody felt sorry for me. 'Oh, Matt's a cartoonist.' Then people further feeling sorry for me would ask me to draw Garfield. Because I'm a cartoonist, draw Snoopy or Garfield or something.
Matt Groening
When DVDs finally disappear, I'm going to be sad. I'll miss the commentaries.
Matt Groening
I may be biting off more than I can chew, but with 'The Simpsons' and with 'Futurama,' what I'm trying to do in the guise of light entertainment, if this is possible - is nudge people, jostle them a little, wake them up to some of the ways in which we're being manipulated and exploited.
