I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.
Matt Groening
I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
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
Anxiety and hostility seem to be a great part of good and bad humor. Examining humor too closely does seem to destroy it.
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.

The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore.

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
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
Of course I’ve gone mad with power! Have you ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring and no one listens to you! — Russ Cargill
Matt Groening
I've loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and I've read quite extensively as an adult.
Matt Groening
Science fiction and comedy are generally a pretty bumpy mix.
Matt Groening
I was always frightened by taverns. They just seemed like very unpleasant places to go.
Matt Groening
A lot of people believe that if everybody just did what they were told - obeyed - everything would be fine. But that's not what life is all about. That's not real. It's never going to happen.
Matt Groening
I always say that 'Futurama' is real, and 'The Simpsons' is fiction.
Matt Groening
How can I be expected to love someone who tries such crude manipulations as bringing me breakfast in bed?
Matt Groening
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Matt Groening
Aren't we forgeting the true meaning of Christmas? You know, the birth of Santa.
Matt Groening
How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
