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

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.

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.

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.

The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.

The relationship between Aquaman and Aqualad should be investigated.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

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.

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

Evolution doesn't care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we've achieved as a species with the space program. We can't afford to regress back to the days of superstition.

I distrust all television doctors.

There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.

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.

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

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.

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

Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.

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

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.

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