I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.

My dad always played Anne Murray in the car on the way to the dump when I was a kid.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

The way Disney characters move, they're very kind of slow and fluid and flowing one pose kind of eases into the next. If you look at a show like 'The Simpsons' and subsequently a show like 'Family Guy' - the characters will jerk from pose to pose a lot, a bit more snappy. Which sort of goes along with the writing tone of the show.

You gotta keep the funny intact.

The trend today is vampires, zombies, angels, all the stuff that puts me right to sleep. It's too bad because it's so much less interesting than the diversity of stories you can tell with science.

Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.

The success of The Simpsons really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.

I'm wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That's what they do in normal places, but Hollywood's not normal.

Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.

I love the English. My God, they brought us 'Benny Hill,' 'Monty Python,' 'The Office,' Neville Chamberlain.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.

Evolution doesn't care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we've achieved as a species with the space program. We can't afford to regress back to the days of superstition.

I'm not a fatalist. I'm not a religious person. I'm sure there are close calls that we're not even aware of hundreds of times a year. You cross the street, and if you'd crossed the street two minutes later, you'd have been hit by a car, but you'd never know it. I'm sure that kind of stuff happens all the time.

I distrust all television doctors.

'American Dad' is, by its nature, much more political.

If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical.

The relationship between Aquaman and Aqualad should be investigated.

When 'Family Guy' started, we wanted to make it more like a sitcom. And there was very little music.
