I have a desire to help animals, the question of whether it makes financial sense, it's my money and I get to do what I want with it. It's an expensive hobby I picked up at the end of my life.

Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this.

Through PETA, we rescue animals in roadside zoos and circuses. They are some of the most abused animals in the country.

Everything that the Sam Simon Foundation does is supposed to help dogs and people - that's our mission.

In the pressure cooker of a TV show, it’s a little bit of a witches’ brew. I completely think I’m capable of being crazy. I probably was crazy when I was doing 'The Simpsons'.

Thanks to Bart Simpson, I have a pretty good life.

The reason my food bank is vegan is because I can't pay for animal products in good conscience.

Veganism is an answer for almost every problem facing the world in terms of hunger and climate change.

I want medical experiments on animals stopped. They don't do anything, and they don't work.

The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.

What excites me is danger! I like to do daring things. I've bungee jumped three times. The only thing I haven't tried is skydiving.

Revenge was the emptiest of emotions. Apparently it motivated people to do the stupidest things as well.

I started learning to sing what I liked, to experience it in a visceral way. Then it's inside. Get rid of the neurosis and then you can improvise.

Sculptured figures which appear in motion, will, in their standing position, actually look as if they were falling forward.

I think we have to realize that God sometimes gives us more time to pray, and when he does this, we can pray that he will bless those who have opportunities to speak to others.

I do enjoy working with writers.
