"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second."

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

"Basically, everything I try to do is to present an alternative to what somebody else is doing."

"Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. I vowed that I would never forget."
