It's the weirdest thing. When you go into acting, you expect to be a huge star and to be recognized... It did happen, but not in the way you expect it to... In L.A., I'm just another character actor
It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself
The Simpsons can go anywhere in the world and not worry about any budgetary issues. However, even when the show has had its run, I think the characters can go on in perpetuity
Operator! Give me the number for 911!
To many, Homer may appear lazy and a loser, but he's just much misguided. He's boorish, sure, but well meaning and, I guess, the one thing we have in common is the pursuit of lousy diets.
All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there was no meat, I would say 'Yo Goober! Where's the meat?'. I'm trying to impress people here Lisa. You don't win friends with salad.
If I were actually Homer Simpson, I'd be getting scripts out the wazoo.
It is better to watch things then to do them.

After years of doing impressions, its time for a change.
Beer. Now there's a temporary solution.
I always enjoyed writing. I did playlets in high school, I did radio shows in college. That's one of the reasons I went down to Second City, because you could do acting and writing.
The Simpsons take up so little time that I'm able to do other things as well
