More quotes by 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
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.

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
Did you hear something? No. Did I hear something? ...I don't know.

'The Simpsons' obviously is a huge success, and Fox has nothing to do with its success, with its creative success, and as a result they don't really like the show. They don't like 'The Simpsons' at Fox.

Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.

I may be biting off more than I can chew, but with 'The Simpsons' and with 'Futurama,' what I'm trying to do in the guise of light entertainment, if this is possible - is nudge people, jostle them a little, wake them up to some of the ways in which we're being manipulated and exploited.

Cartooning is for people who can't quite draw and can't quite write. You combine the two half-talents and come up with a career.
Matt Groening
Aren't we forgeting the true meaning of Christmas? You know, the birth of Santa.
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
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
The writers led by Mike Scully are fantastic. And they're creating original stories that not only don't repeat what we've already done, they also don't repeat anything I've seen on television.
Matt Groening
I think human beings probably resonate with audiences more than bunnies, but who knows?
Matt Groening
With 'Futurama,' I was just worried that somebody would beat us to it it seemed so obvious that there should be an animated science fiction show set in the future. And one of the reasons why it's not, I learned, is that it's really, really difficult.
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
Think beer drink beer.

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
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
Matt Groening
Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos.

If people only knew how much I secretly hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
