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.

More quotes by Matt Groening
Welcome to Suckersville, man.
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 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
Let's face it, all the good stuff happens after midnight.
Matt Groening
First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
Matt Groening
I promise I'll do anything for you, especialy if it's easy. Homer Simpson
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.

The entire world of grown-ups is corrupt and stupid.

'Adult Swim' on the Cartoon Network is unbelievable. And 'South Park' continues to do great stuff. And 'Family Guy' and the various other Seth MacFarlane projects are amazing.
Matt Groening
I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun.
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
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
Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons' subversive story telling, but there's another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories.
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
Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget.
Matt Groening
How can I be expected to love someone who tries such crude manipulations as bringing me breakfast in bed?
Matt Groening
If people only knew how much I secretly hated them, they'd love me for holding it in.
Matt Groening
The amazing thing about Freak Out! was that there was nothing quite like it in rock 'n roll at the time. It was really simultaneously crude and ugly, and incredibly sophisticated. The Beatles were funny, but there was nothing with the kind of sneer that you could feel in the music of Frank Zappa.
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
Ned, have you considered any of the other major religions? They're all pretty much the same.
