When you're writing for a TV show, what's great is that you always know what actor you're writing to.
It's nice to make a project where you can show the full breadth of who you are.
I would do the same thing over again because whatever I did was meant for me to do, you dig what I'm saying? If it wasn't meant for me to do that show and work with Puff [Daddy]then it wouldn't have ever occurred.
I think when you're on a show that takes place in N.Y.C. but film it in L.A. there is just a vibe that feels wrong.
As the lead actor, you naturally get involved with a show.
I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
Nobody's ever kept their sitcom character going after the show's off the air.
And generally the shows I'm in fail really big.
I stare at her, as dumbstruck as if she'd just admitted she's a Scientologist with an invitation to join Tom and Katie on the spaceship when it shows up.
I'm scared of watching a TV show about vampires. I can't fall asleep.
I'm in the entertainment business, where you're only as good as your last show.
We go to literature because it shows us some set of humane values. It is showing us how to live.
So a lot of our shows where even we think we've taken a very deliberate stand, liberals say, 'That's awesome, you took on the conservatives' same show and conservatives say 'That's awesome, you took on liberals.'
In our show, there's usually a comeuppance. Or, if not, it's an anti-ending. And you're supposed to get that.
Everybody should have a television show. Let's all get television shows!
We did 'The Simpsons Movie,' which took almost four years; it was the same people that do the TV show, and it just killed us. So that's why there hasn't been a second movie. But I imagine if the show ever does go off the air, they'll start doing movies.
The really great thing about having two TV shows going on at the same time is that I can go to one and say that I have to go and visit the other and then I can just go home and they don't know.
'The Simpsons' from the very beginning was based on our memories of brash '60s sitcoms - you had a main title theme that was bombastic and grabbed your attention - and when you look at TV shows of the 1970s and '80s, things got very mild and toned down and... obsequious.
Yeah, when you work with somebody that famous everybody wants to know what are they like or - but I know some of the movies that I know because they're more like NOBODY'S FOOL or like that, because I don't really watch the big R movies, I haven't really seen them so much. I loved him [Bruce Willis] from his TV show and some of the smaller movies he's done. The bigger movies I start to space out in, like, there just so, I don't really watch those kind of movies so much.
There must be a mirror to show the soul to itself before the soul can begin to gather its courage.
I think the shows are better when I feel like myself.
You don't have to show people how successful you are.
Donald Trumps' senior advisor said on CNN that the US Presidential election was the ultimate reality TV show! Appeal to those you want to reach!
There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work.
People really want to do something good. You just have to show them where it is.
