More quotes by 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
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.
Seth MacFarlane
Sarah Palin is very pro-life of course, unless the life is that of an Iraqi civilian or a wolf running frantically from a roaring helicopter while being strafed with ribbons of automatic weapons fire.
Seth MacFarlane
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.

I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.

Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.
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
You break the story first, and then you go into the specifics.
Seth MacFarlane
Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.
Seth MacFarlane
If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.
Seth MacFarlane
Fox is notorious for having a very thick skin about taking shots at themselves.
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 had - I was pretty hell bent on getting into the cartoon business specifically as an artist from the get-go.
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 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.
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
The quest for Tommy Lee Jones' laugh begins now.
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.

What makes me happy is just keeping my brain challenged and stimulated and on its toes.
