More quotes by Matt Groening
I'm not going to stop torturing myself till I figure out the cause of my pain.
Matt Groening
I judge my life by how miserable it used to be. If I could pay my rent, I was deliriously happy. Now I'm deliriously happy all the time.
Matt Groening
For some reason, a lot of Hollywood big shots are curious to see how they'd be drawn with bulging eyes and no chin.
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
Here's to alcohol: the cause of, and answer to, all of life's problems.
Matt Groening
I always say that 'Futurama' is real, and 'The Simpsons' is fiction.
Matt Groening
I have less to do with 'The Simpsons' every season, but I stick my nose in here and there. Basically, it's just trying to keep the characters consistent and making sure the show has a soul.
Matt Groening
Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.
Matt Groening
My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals.
Matt Groening
If at first you don't succeed - give it up. It isn't worth the pain.
Matt Groening
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
Matt Groening
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
Matt Groening
I always thought that television was the way to go in my goal to invade pop culture because it got to towns in which there were no bookstores. That's how I used to think of it: How do I reach kids who not only don't read but probably have no access to much in the way of books?
Matt Groening
Anxiety and hostility seem to be a great part of good and bad humor. Examining humor too closely does seem to destroy it.
Matt Groening
Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.
Matt Groening
It's a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We've got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we've explored some of the secondary characters' personal lives a bit more.
Matt Groening
Being a good embalmer is a thankless job.
Matt Groening
This doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio, but not in America! Homer Simpson
Matt Groening
If something is too hard to do, then it's not worth doing. You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and we'll go inside and watch TV.
Matt Groening
First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
