Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?
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
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
Do my worst, eh? Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons. --Mr. Burns
Matt Groening
My life changed when I was able to not only get seated in nice restaurants, I was given free appetizers. That was like, Oh, my God, I've arrived.
Matt Groening
You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on. Homer Simpson
Matt Groening
Did you hear something? No. Did I hear something? ...I don't know.
Matt Groening
