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

The average person has eight different jobs over the course of their lifetime. You get a little antsy doing the same thing.

Image
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.

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

If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical.

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.

'The Brady Bunch' asks nothing of you as a viewer. Sometimes is just what the doctor ordered.
Seth MacFarlane
Image
I do not believe in God. I'm an atheist. I consider myself a critical thinker, and it fascinates me that in the 21st century most people still believe in, as George Carlin puts it, 'the invisible man living in the sky'

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

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

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

Image
There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.
Seth MacFarlane
Image
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.

There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.
Seth MacFarlane
Image
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 good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.

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