Harry Shearer's quotes
- If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?
- [on which character in The Simpsons (1989) is hardest to voice] Burns requires lots of tea and honey.
- [asked how many characters on The Simpsons (1989) he voices] I think I do about 12 regular characters but I've been able to pad the resume with God, The Devil and Hitler.
- [criticizing the decline in quality of The Simpsons (1989)] I rate the last three seasons as among the worst, so Season 4 looks very good to me now.
- I write about broadcast indecency with something of a pedigree. Although it's not widely known - since the comedy group I was part of was not widely known - I was party to the first broadcast utterance of the word 'twat.'
- [on Richard Thompson and Danny Thompson] There are two towering figures in British music by the name of Thompson. Neither of them twins (Thompson Twins).
- [on The Simpsons: The Principal and the Pauper (1997)]: Now, the writers refuse to talk about it. They realize it was a horrible mistake. They never mention it. It's like they're punishing the audience for paying attention.
