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

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 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.

There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.
Seth MacFarlane
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.
Seth MacFarlane
I don't smoke much pot anymore.
Seth MacFarlane
Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.
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 can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.
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.

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

I hate people who say 'Just to play devil's advocate.'
