Seth MacFarlane Quotes

• The success of The Simpsons (1989) really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn’t necessarily have to be working in kids’ television.
• With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.
• When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

• [on Amour (2012)] The last time Austria and Germany got together and co-produced something it was Hitler.
• The only way it [criticism] gets to me is that it demonstrates a deterioration of the power of restrained, critical, rational thought that was once more ubiquitous in our society. In the sixties and seventies there was such a high regard in this country for the achievements of human beings in science, in technology, in space exploration. And in some ways we’ve turned into this wimpy, astrology-loving, angel-loving, pseudo-scientific culture that no longer has that ability. We’ve gotten lazy in our willingness to use our brains.
