More quotes by Seth MacFarlane
The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.
Seth MacFarlane
The only reason we die, is because we accept death as an inevitability.
Seth MacFarlane
Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.
Seth MacFarlane
I always thought it would be funny to have the Parents Television Council write an episode of 'Family Guy' and give them full creative control. Then see how good the episode is. That's something we've actually discussed in the writers' room. We haven't proposed it yet, but if somebody from the PTC reads this, it might be worth discussing.

I spent my entire childhood in the same town, in Kent. I went to grade school there. There was a boarding school that my mother taught at, called - appropriately enough - Kent School, that I went to. Yeah, pretty much my entire childhood was spent in that town.

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.

There are people on staff who have made that point, that the upside to a second Bush term is that it makes 'American Dad' work better. To me, the price is too high. I would gladly give up the comedy to have a President Kerry. But you work with what you have.
Seth MacFarlane
'The Brady Bunch' asks nothing of you as a viewer. Sometimes is just what the doctor ordered.
Seth MacFarlane
The worst thing to happen at the Oscars would be if nothing happened. You want something unscripted, something to riff on, something kinda out there.
Seth MacFarlane
Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.
Seth MacFarlane
When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.
Seth MacFarlane
The average person has eight different jobs over the course of their lifetime. You get a little antsy doing the same thing.
Seth MacFarlane
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.
Seth MacFarlane
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.
Seth MacFarlane
There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.
Seth MacFarlane
Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.
Seth MacFarlane
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.
Seth MacFarlane
Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.
Seth MacFarlane
What makes me happy is just keeping my brain challenged and stimulated and on its toes.
Seth MacFarlane
I was a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I loved the 'Twilight Zone' growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.
