Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.

The Simpsons are ugly-looking, and they should be. That's what works. That's one of the things that's funny.

Image
The relationship between Aquaman and Aqualad should be investigated.

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.

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.

I distrust all television doctors.

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.

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.

If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.

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

You would not want me on your football team.

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.

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

Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.

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

I wrote on a show called Johnny Bravo when I was at Hanna-Barbera and he guest-starred as himself.

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.

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

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 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.
