When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces...I just know they're about to jab me with something.
Matt Groening
A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?

I have to say that The Simpsons comes from a huge number of great writers headed by Al Jean, the show-runner, and the work that they do is really fantastic. It's a blast just to sit around with them in the writers' room and listen to all the filthy jokes that will never get on the air.
Matt Groening
The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore.

Aren't we forgeting the true meaning of Christmas? You know, the birth of Santa.
Matt Groening
You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on. Homer Simpson

I went to Bali, and I was in a small village, and somebody who was with me showed a woman a little figurine of Bart and asked: 'Do you know who this is?' And she said: 'Mickey Mouse.'
Matt Groening
Ned, have you considered any of the other major religions? They're all pretty much the same.
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
I think human beings probably resonate with audiences more than bunnies, but who knows?
Matt Groening
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.

Welcome to Suckersville, man.

Masturbation is nothing to be ashamed of. It's nothing to be particularly proud of, either.
Matt Groening
One of the things I would like to do is make up stories that I would have enjoyed when I was a kid. So, if I'm thinking about an audience, it's usually a younger version of myself.
