More quotes by Matt Groening
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
Matt Groening
When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work! (Homer Simpson)
Matt Groening
I've been deadline-driven for my whole grown-up life, and that hasn't gone away. It is nice to be able to reflect about the big picture, about what kind of stories you want to tell, and how to take advantage of success.
Matt Groening
I went through a phase where people would introduce me at parties as a cartoonist, and everybody felt sorry for me. 'Oh, Matt's a cartoonist.' Then people further feeling sorry for me would ask me to draw Garfield. Because I'm a cartoonist, draw Snoopy or Garfield or something.
Matt Groening
Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos.
Matt Groening
This doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio, but not in America! Homer Simpson
Matt Groening
Living creatively is really important to maintain throughout your life. And living creatively doesn't mean only artistic creativity, although that's part of it. It means being yourself, not just complying with the wishes of other people.
Matt Groening
The amazing thing about Freak Out! was that there was nothing quite like it in rock 'n roll at the time. It was really simultaneously crude and ugly, and incredibly sophisticated. The Beatles were funny, but there was nothing with the kind of sneer that you could feel in the music of Frank Zappa.
Matt Groening
Ned, have you considered any of the other major religions? They're all pretty much the same.
Matt Groening
First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
Matt Groening
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
I plead alignment to the flakes of the untitled snakes of a merry cow and to the republicrats for which they scam: one nacho, underpants with licorice and jugs of wine for owls.
Matt Groening
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
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
We've been running a little behind schedule. But only by about 15 years or so.
Matt Groening
I think human beings probably resonate with audiences more than bunnies, but who knows?
Matt Groening
I know for a fact, obviously, because my kids grew up watching the show, that there are some things they are introduced to from 'The Simpsons', and then later in life they see the thing we're parodying. My kids had not seen 'Casablanca,' and we'd done parodies of 'Casablanca.'
Matt Groening
Let's face it, all the good stuff happens after midnight.
Matt Groening
America's health care system is second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, well ... all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky starts we don't live in Paraguay!
Matt Groening
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.
