The Simpsons' money got bigger and bigger. When I left 'The Simpsons', no one thought that this thing was going to still be around. It's the cumulative effect. It's like, 'Oh my God, 25 years later, and it's still coming in.'

I don't think the spirit of Hollywood is such a spirit of generosity. I think people really begrudge giving. In New York, it's like that.

A lot of charities spend a million dollars on a fundraiser to make $15,000. It's a social swirl. They do some great stuff and then - it's called mission drift. It becomes more about the parties.

Otherwise, I would be very inconsistent in my beliefs that animals shouldn't be abused for food.

I want to do whatever I can to survive.
