Reiss: (on Conan O'Brien) I get to call him Connie.

Reiss: (on The Simpsons)In all the episodes me and Al [Jean] wrote for the show, and we didn't write many because we were running it, they all seem to be about Lisa in one way or another. I mean, we loved the character.
(edit)
Reiss: I always loved Jim Brooks' contribution to The Simpsons, and I tried a few lines that were imatations of him and I'm not sure if they worked or not.
(edit)
Reiss: I've been on The Simpsons fifteen years, I've been there for all the good shows and all the bad ones! I mean, remember when they went to Africa and we had chimpanzees digging crystals out of mines, working in and out of it. What the Hell was that about!?!
(edit)
Reiss: (on The Critic) When you watch the episodes, you at least remember the movies we parody. And I'm glad something just, sort of ripped out of pop culture, still is recognizable, today.
