'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.

I think there is a certain charm to the hand drawn image that I like. My problem with CGI is that it's so rich in texture that my eyes actually get tired. Everything is in focus down to the littlest leaf. Matt Groening cgicharmdraw share on social
I also found child's play - stuff that was not considered serious, but goofy - was the stuff I liked to do, so I still do it as an adult. Matt Groening adultchildconsider Change image and share on social

The thing that makes me happiest about Simpsons Illustrated are all the drawings that we get from readers. I wish we could print them all. They're really imaginative. They show a lot of hard work. Matt Groening drawinghappyhard Change image and share on social
My standard comment is, 'If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.' Matt Groening actbartcomment Change image and share on social
The writers led by Mike Scully are fantastic. And they're creating original stories that not only don't repeat what we've already done, they also don't repeat anything I've seen on television. Matt Groening createfantastichave Change image and share on social
My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals.

One of the great things about the Internet is that you can read what everybody has to say about everything. It is fascinating to me, the critiques about humor by people who have no sense of humor. Matt Groening critiquefascinategreat Change image and share on social
The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching 'The Simpsons,' so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I'm not funny anymore. Matt Groening anymorebartbasis share on social
