"I had a friend who was writing for television. He went to Harvard, was always the smartest guy in his class, wrote for a number of newspapers. He did well in Hollywood and got put onto the writing team for The Simpsons. He describes going into that room and sitting down with the other writers, thinking, ‘This is the first time in my life that I feel like the stupidest person in the room.’ It was absolutely horrifying to realize that he wasn’t even close to those guys."
— Anthony Bourdain (Full interview here; yes it’s a non-food related quote, but I love hearing about the Simpsons writers)
