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
I know for a fact, obviously, because my kids grew up watching the show, that there are some things they are introduced to from 'The Simpsons', and then later in life they see the thing we're parodying. My kids had not seen 'Casablanca,' and we'd done parodies of 'Casablanca.'
Matt Groening
My standard comment is, If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.
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.
Matt Groening
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Matt Groening
Let's face it, all the good stuff happens after midnight.
Matt Groening
A lot of American shows don't last for as long as 12 episodes. They get cut after one. But certainly one of the great things about The Office in particular was that there was a beginning, a middle and an end.
Matt Groening
You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on. Homer Simpson
Matt Groening
I always say that 'Futurama' is real, and 'The Simpsons' is fiction.
Matt Groening
Don't have a cow, man.
Matt Groening
Being a good embalmer is a thankless job.
Matt Groening
I want it to go on, but I want us to go out on top.
Matt Groening
I've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult.
Matt Groening
We've been running a little behind schedule. But only by about 15 years or so.
Matt Groening
Nihilism in American comedy came along way before 'The Simpsons.' There was a fairly nihilistic point of view to 'Saturday Night Live,' for instance, back in the beginning, and a lot of really dark comedy had a really anti-sentimental take on life.
Matt Groening
Of course I’ve gone mad with power! Have you ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring and no one listens to you! — Russ Cargill
Matt Groening
Everybody is clever, just in their own ways
Matt Groening
I’ll keep it short and sweet - Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
Matt Groening
I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium.
Matt Groening
The world ends when I die. And as far as I'm concerned, the rest of the universe might as well call it a day too.
