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
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.

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.

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
I think people who work in comedy and humor are hesitant to analyze it too much, because you feel like if you take it apart, you'll break it and not be able to put it back together again.
Matt Groening
This doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio, but not in America! Homer Simpson
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 I look at the smiles on all the children's faces...I just know they're about to jab me with something.
Matt Groening
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Matt Groening
Warning signs that lover is bored: 1. Passionless kisses 2. Frequent sighing 3. Moved, left no forwarding address.
Matt Groening
Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

I promise I'll do anything for you, especialy if it's easy. Homer Simpson

I'm not going to stop torturing myself till I figure out the cause of my pain.
