More quotes by Seth MacFarlane
I wrote on a show called Johnny Bravo when I was at Hanna-Barbera and he guest-starred as himself.
Seth MacFarlane
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.
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
The average person has eight different jobs over the course of their lifetime. You get a little antsy doing the same thing.
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
I distrust all television doctors.
Seth MacFarlane
I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.
Seth MacFarlane
I'm one of the few people in Hollywood who actually had a good childhood.

The quest for Tommy Lee Jones' laugh begins now.

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.
Seth MacFarlane
Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.
Seth MacFarlane
When 'Family Guy' started, we wanted to make it more like a sitcom. And there was very little music.
Seth MacFarlane
My dad always played Anne Murray in the car on the way to the dump when I was a kid.
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
You break the story first, and then you go into the specifics.
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
Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.
Seth MacFarlane
I love the English. My God, they brought us 'Benny Hill,' 'Monty Python,' 'The Office,' Neville Chamberlain.
Seth MacFarlane
'American Dad' is, by its nature, much more political.
Seth MacFarlane
If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical.
