We've been running a little behind schedule. But only by about 15 years or so.

Welcome to Suckersville, man.

When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces...I just know they're about to jab me with something.

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.

I have to say that The Simpsons comes from a huge number of great writers headed by Al Jean, the show-runner, and the work that they do is really fantastic. It's a blast just to sit around with them in the writers' room and listen to all the filthy jokes that will never get on the air.

Anxiety and hostility seem to be a great part of good and bad humor. Examining humor too closely does seem to destroy it.

Oh, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

Basically, everything I try to do is to present an alternative to what somebody else is doing.

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

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.'

Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos.

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?

When will I learn? The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV!

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.
