More quotes by 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
Basically, everything I try to do is to present an alternative to what somebody else is doing.
Matt Groening
Don't have a cow, man.
Matt Groening
I’ll keep it short and sweet - Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
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 judge my life by how miserable it used to be. If I could pay my rent, I was deliriously happy. Now I'm deliriously happy all the time.
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.

I always thought that television was the way to go in my goal to invade pop culture because it got to towns in which there were no bookstores. That's how I used to think of it: How do I reach kids who not only don't read but probably have no access to much in the way of books?
Matt Groening
I think human beings probably resonate with audiences more than bunnies, but who knows?

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.
Matt Groening
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
Matt Groening
You know, the courts may not be working any more, but as long as everyone is videotaping everyone else, justice will be done.
Matt Groening
Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Matt Groening
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
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
'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.
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 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 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.
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.'
