It is true that from a behavioral economics perspective we are fallible, easily confused, not that smart, and often irrational. We are more like Homer Simpson than Superman. So from this perspective it is rather depressing. But at the same time there is also a silver lining. There are free lunches!

Dan Ariely

My standard comment is, 'If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.'

My standard comment is, If you don't want your kids to be like Bart Simpson, don't act like Homer Simpson.

Real people have trouble balancing their checkbooks, much less calculating how much they need to save for retirement; they sometimes binge on food, drink, or high-definition televisions. They are more like Homer Simpson than Mr. Spock.

Richard Thaler

Homer Simpson has been more inspirational to me than probably any cartoon character. What he represents, I think, there's a part of that in everybody. There certainly is in me, and I love that.

Michael Welch

We can't wait around for Superman to come in here and save the town, save the team. It's up to us to get it done.

Jermaine O'Neal

I promise I'll do anything for you, especialy if it's easy. Homer Simpson

When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work!" (Homer Simpson)

Matt Groening

If I were actually Homer Simpson, I'd be getting scripts out the wazoo.

Dan Castellaneta

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try.' Homer Simpson

Matt Groening

Any superhero, regardless of how different they are from Superman, recalls Superman in some way. They're either pushing against Superman or reflecting Superman; there's something about them that comes from Superman.

Gene Luen Yang

Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

Quentin Tarantino

I have an immature, Homer Simpson-like tendency to giggle when I say the words 'seminal fluids' in public.

Stephenie Meyer

When I was growing up, my parents asked me what I wanted to do, and I said that I wanted to live in Springfield. They were like, "Well, that's not how it works. There is an actor who play Homer, and someone who writes what Homer says." So, I was like, "Well, I want to write what Homer says."

Jonah Hill

More proof that trusting the Feds to protect our information is like hiring Homer Simpson to guard the donuts.

Robert X. Cringely

The way you challenge Superman is by having things happen very, very quickly in different places and then asking, 'Who does he save first? What powers must he use to save each person or stop each disaster?' That's one of the ways you make him interesting beyond the thematic and moral issues that make Superman.
