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.

'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 simply adore 'The Simpsons.' I go to bed in a 'Simpsons' T-shirt.

'The Simpsons' is about alienation and the ambivalence of living with a family who you love but who drive you completely crazy.

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' is like Charlie Parker or Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor: Comedy couldn't go back to the way it was after 'The Simpsons' came out.

'The Simpsons' appearances were great fun. But I don't take them too seriously. I think 'The Simpsons' have treated my disability responsibly.

'The Simpsons' basically - and 'Futurama' - are really smart shows. They're kind of disguised as these goofy animated sitcoms, but the references within the shows, if you're paying attention, are pretty smart and pretty sophisticated.
