 Following his 2007 article, "[http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/08/simpsons200708 Simpson Family Values]" in ''Vanity Fair'', Ortved decided to expand it into a full book. Like the article, the book contains quotes from interviews with a number of people associated with the show, including main cast member [[Hank Azaria]], former director [[Brad Bird]] and former writer [[Conan O'Brien]], as well as Fox owner [[Rupert Murdoch]]. However, many of the show's central players, including creator [[Matt Groening]], co-developers [[James L. Brooks]] and [[Sam Simon]], and prominent producers like [[Al Jean]], refused to be interviewed and so are quoted solely from existing sources.
