I do not believe in God. I'm an atheist. I consider myself a critical thinker, and it fascinates me that in the 21st century most people still believe in, as George Carlin puts it, 'the invisible man living in the sky'
The two symbols of the Republican party: an elephant and a big fat white guy who's threatened by change.
The only problem is time.
Adults acting like children and children acting like adults is generally a pretty reliable comic device.
The only reason we die, is because we accept death as an inevitability.
Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.
'Family Guy' has this weird thing of attracting people. People either hate it or can't get enough of it. There's really no one in between.
Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.
I'm not a fatalist. I'm not a religious person. I'm sure there are close calls that we're not even aware of hundreds of times a year. You cross the street, and if you'd crossed the street two minutes later, you'd have been hit by a car, but you'd never know it. I'm sure that kind of stuff happens all the time.
What makes me happy is just keeping my brain challenged and stimulated and on its toes.
There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.
There were two things that became apparent, pretty quickly into the process. One was that the muscles didn't take as much reconditioning as I thought they would. It was more like voice acting than I thought it would be. You're using your whole body and there are things that are different, but when you are doing a character, even in the booth, nobody is watching but my face will do different things when I do different characters.
When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.
If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.
Even if you know a character really well, there's no formula for what jokes will work and what won't.
Evolution doesn't care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we've achieved as a species with the space program. We can't afford to regress back to the days of superstition.
I was a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I loved the 'Twilight Zone' growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.
You gotta keep the funny intact.
religion notoriously claims that they invented morality, they didn't. Morality exists in animals, ya know.
I'm the guy in the crowd making fun of the hero's shirt.
Every woman's innate ability to let anything go.
Sarah Palin is very pro-life of course, unless the life is that of an Iraqi civilian or a wolf running frantically from a roaring helicopter while being strafed with ribbons of automatic weapons fire.
I'm big on the importance of science, particularly right now at this point in time when there's sort of a systematic rejection of science by a lot of people in America.
Most of the outrage comes from not the public, but from the media, the press and writers.
I tend to lean more towards the Westerns of the 40s and 50s as opposed to the 60s and 70s. They get a little too drab for me when you get into the Spaghetti Western era. I love the John Ford movies. I love the music. I love the scope.
