Kids, kids. I'm not going to die. That only happens to bad people.
Kids, kids. As far as Daddy's concerned, you're both potential murderers.

If something is to hard to do, then it's not worth doing.
The voice doesn't take a lot of effort now, but in the beginning it was hard to try to find a voice. The one I settled on was just easier to do for a half-hour.
One of my favorite episodes was the one in which Homer grew hair. That was a very unique episode, since there was a gay secretary, but that wasn't even the issue of the show-the issue was Homer's image changing because he had hair.

It's the cushiest job, but some lines are so funny that I crack up.
I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.
I often say, if I wasn't part of the show I'd be a huge fan of it.
Don't eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them.

In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
