Matt Groening Great. But writers can't just live on snacks.
Matt Groening We need to be able to order lunch, so that when it comes we can stop working for an hour...
Matt Groening - Happy ...and often longer.

Matt Groening Sorry about that. But I like watching you move around.
Matt Groening Beautiful character design, if I say so myself.
Homer - Serious My eyes are up here, creep.

Homer - Sad Why did you look so sinister when you said that.
Matt Groening Because I decided not to get rid of Futurama, Homer.
Matt Groening - Angry I decided to get rid of you.
Homer - Scared Get rid of me? But it's an episode of the Simpsons. You need me -- I do the jokes!
Matt Groening I've got Bender.
