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.

More quotes by 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
The Simpsons are ugly-looking, and they should be. That's what works. That's one of the things that's funny.
Seth MacFarlane
I still do a lot of drawing on a daily basis.
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
Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.
Seth MacFarlane
My dad always played Anne Murray in the car on the way to the dump when I was a kid.
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.
Seth MacFarlane
I hate people who say 'Just to play devil's advocate.'

The quest for Tommy Lee Jones' laugh begins now.
Seth MacFarlane
You gotta keep the funny intact.

If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical.
Seth MacFarlane
I love the English. My God, they brought us 'Benny Hill,' 'Monty Python,' 'The Office,' Neville Chamberlain.
Seth MacFarlane
'The Brady Bunch' asks nothing of you as a viewer. Sometimes is just what the doctor ordered.
Seth MacFarlane
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
I had - I was pretty hell bent on getting into the cartoon business specifically as an artist from the get-go.
Seth MacFarlane
I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40s and 50s as opposed to the 60s and 70s. They get a little too drab for me when you get into the Spaghetti Western era. I love the John Ford movies. I love the music. I love the scope.
Seth MacFarlane
Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.
Seth MacFarlane
I don't smoke much pot anymore.
Seth MacFarlane
I'm from Connecticut, and we don't have any dialects. Well, I don't think we have any dialects, and yeah, it's very complex. That Rhode Island/Massachusetts New England region is arguably the hardest dialect to nail.
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.
