I've made a kind of pact with myself where I said, It doesn't matter what it is as long as I'm acting.

The voice doesn't take a lot of effort now, but in the beginning it was hard to try to find a voice. The one I settled on was just easier to do for a half-hour.

I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do.

The Simpsons take up so little time that I'm able to do other things as well.

I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has.

The Simpsons can go anywhere in the world and not worry about any budgetary issues. However, even when the show has had its run, I think the characters can go on in perpetuity.
