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.

We can make fun of hockey fans, but someone who enjoys Homer is indulging the same kind of vicarious bloodlust.

I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.

I would then go on to say that Homer, as we now know, was working in what they call an oral tradition.

Bill Hicks is a huge influence. I love him.

Homer's work hits again and again on the topos of the inexpressible. People will always do that.

If I were actually Homer Simpson, I'd be getting scripts out the wazoo.

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 had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.
