I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I sound like Homer. I mean Winslow Homer.
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.
I would then go on to say that Homer, as we now know, was working in what they call an oral tradition.
Homer's work hits again and again on the topos of the inexpressible. People will always do that.
People sometimes think I'm sort of all-knowing.
I've said all along I've never competed with 'The Simpsons.' Not in my own mind.
When one starts writing a book, especially a novel, even the humblest person in the world hopes to become Homer.
The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore.
There's stuff that everybody does that they don't know they do.
I had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.
