More quotes by Matt Groening
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
Matt Groening
Most TV shows don't reward you for paying attention.
Matt Groening
We've been running a little behind schedule. But only by about 15 years or so.
Matt Groening
Being a good embalmer is a thankless job.
Matt Groening
The really great thing about having two TV shows going on at the same time is that I can go to one and say that I have to go and visit the other and then I can just go home and they don't know.
Matt Groening
Everybody doesn't have to get every joke. People really appreciate not being condescended to.
Matt Groening
I'm presently incarcerated. Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit. Hah! Attempted murder? Now honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?
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
Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

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
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
Your cable television is experiencing difficulties. Please do not panic. Resist the temptation to read or talk to loved ones. Do not attempt sexual relations, as years of TV radiation have left your genitals withered and useless.
Matt Groening
You know, the courts may not be working any more, but as long as everyone is videotaping everyone else, justice will be done.
Matt Groening
You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on. Homer Simpson

When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces...I just know they're about to jab me with something.

People go into cartooning because they're shy and they're angry. That's when you're sitting in the back of a classroom drawing the teacher.
Matt Groening
I had been drawing my weekly comic strip, 'Life in Hell,' for about five years when I got a call from Jim Brooks, who was developing 'The Tracey Ullman Show' for the brand-new Fox network. He wanted me to come in and pitch an idea for doing little cartoons on that 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?

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
I personally like the idea of newspapers. It's a good format. You can read it in whatever order you want. You can glance at it. There is something about a single screen and scrolling through pages that just doesn't have the same appeal.
