I thought I was going to make crazy cartoons for the rest of my life. I didn't think I'd ever get paid for it, didn't think I drew well enough, but I knew it made me happy.

I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.

I basically drew my own family. My father's name is Homer. My mother's name is Margaret. I have a sister Lisa and another sister Maggie, so I drew all of them. I was going to name the main character Matt, but I didn't think it would go over well in a pitch meeting, so I changed the name to Bart.

I was feeling well enough to eat the pears.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life unless I buy something.
