I've been a diehard fan of 'The Simpsons' since I was a kid.

'The Simpsons' is still my favorite show. I have a really strong connection to it.

I like 'The Simpsons' quite a lot. I love the irreverent character of the whole show. It's great.

I'm a great admirer of 'The Simpsons.' It's very surprising because it's backed by a right-wing television company in the U.S., and quite often it's poking fun at the people who would be its audience.

I've said all along I've never competed with 'The Simpsons.' Not in my own mind.

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.

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

So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by.

'The Simpsons' from the very beginning was based on our memories of brash '60s sitcoms - you had a main title theme that was bombastic and grabbed your attention - and when you look at TV shows of the 1970s and '80s, things got very mild and toned down and... obsequious.

My all-time favourite programme is 'Seinfeld;' I could just sit and watch that over and over again.
