Aerosmith went on The Simpsons and they had fun.
Leif Garrett

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.
Matt Groening

I draw a weekly comic strip called Life in Hell, which is syndicated in about 250 newspapers. That's what I did before The Simpsons, and what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
Matt Groening

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.
Ralph Bakshi

I wouldn't be surprised if some day, they put the Simpsons in the Smithsonian. It's become part of our culture, those characters.
Joe Mantegna

I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
Wentworth Miller

Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?
Anthony Bourdain

Shanks and I tend to have a lot of fun. And, oh, any of The Simpsons' episodes are my favorites too.
Richard Dean Anderson

Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons' subversive story telling, but there's another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories.
Matt Groening

The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time, being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that, despite human failings, the Simpsons are really decent people.
Dan Castellaneta

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.
Dan Castellaneta

The Simpsons is an especially collaborative show.
Matt Groening

The Simpsons take up so little time that I'm able to do other things as well.
Dan Castellaneta

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.
Seth MacFarlane

The thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work.
Matt Groening

There's not a fortune to be made doing voiceover work unless you're one of the main voices on The Simpsons. See, there's The Simpsons, and then there's everything else.
Patrick Warburton

We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.
Matt Groening

When it moved to Friday night it disappeared, when they find another show that can do what The Simpsons does, they will be delighted to do cancel The Simpsons.
Harry Shearer

When The Simpsons came around, there really was nothing else like it on TV. It's hard to imagine, but when Fox first took the plunge with it, it was considered controversial to put animation on prime time.
Matt Groening

With The Simpsons you can go back to work with a keen heart.
Joe Strummer
