But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder.

'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.

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.

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.

The tendency in comedy is to have a character who's stupid get more stupid, because you're trying to top yourself and not just repeat.

We have 'Doctor Who' references on 'Futurama,' but we have a lot of science fiction references that I don't get but in the staff we have experts on 'Star Trek,' 'Star Wars,' 'Doctor Who' and 'Dungeons and Dragons.'

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.

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.

Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.

Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons' subversive story telling, but there's another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories.

I like all of the early relationship strips that were collected in 'Love Is Hell,' where I pretended to be an expert in relationships and did comics like 'The Nine Types of Boyfriends,' 'Sixteen Ways to End a Relationship,' 'Twenty-Four Things Not to Say in Bed,' and other arbitrarily numbered lists.

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.
