I am surprised no one has posted this here, in light of the "quotes" thread,
but I suppose you all know about it.

Selected passages
AVC: What can you say about the Futurama movies?
MG: We're going to do four of them, straight to DVD....
---
AVC: At this point, The Simpsons is one of the longest-running television
shows of all time. How do you avoid cannibalizing and repeating yourself?
MG: Hah... haha! Heh. You're joking, right? I mean...
(No, that's not what he actually said. Read the damn thing!)
---
AVC: So you're inspiring other people's creativity.
MG: Yes. [Laughs.] It looks like The Simpsons as drawn by people on drugs.
(He's referring to bootleg Simpsons merchandise. I thought 'The Simspson'
was already drawn by people on drugs?)

Notable quote: "...I tried to point out that all fraternities are gay,
that's why they're fraternities."

Or to put in a more correct way
AVC: At this point, The Simpsons is one of the longest-running
television shows of all time. How do you avoid cannibalizing and
repeating yourself?
MG: We have an entire staff of writers and animators who are so young
that they grew up watching the show. So they have the entire history
memorized, and remind us when we're repeating ourselves. The goal is to
keep coming up with things that both surprise the audience and the
people who've been working on the show for the past 15 or 20 years.

In a way, we're both correct. In another, more accurate way, you're
correct.
