More quotes by Matt Groening
Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.
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.
Matt Groening
Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Matt Groening
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
Did you hear something? No. Did I hear something? ...I don't know.
Matt Groening
With Futurama, I wanted to do unrequited love, and David Cohen agreed, and although our original plan was never to have Fry and Leela get together, we finally just said, You can only string the fans along so far.
Matt Groening
If people only knew how much I secretly hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
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
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
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
When will I learn? The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV!
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.
Matt Groening
The world ends when I die. And as far as I'm concerned, the rest of the universe might as well call it a day too.
Matt Groening
I'm not going to stop torturing myself till I figure out the cause of my pain.
Matt Groening
I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium.
Matt Groening
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.
Matt Groening
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Matt Groening
The French are funny, sex is funny, and comedies are funny, yet no French sex comedies are funny.
Matt Groening
I thought I had an appetite for destruction, but all I wanted was a club sandwich.
Matt Groening
How can I be expected to love someone who tries such crude manipulations as bringing me breakfast in bed?
Matt Groening
