“Here’s the sweet and funny inside scoop on The Simpsons, straight from the mouth of Bart herself.”
— Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons -
“Nancy Cartwright, ebullient and high energy enough to light up her native Ohio, tells all. Simpsons fans will revel in the insider information; biography fans will enjoy the memoirs of an actress who committed to her dream and saw it through with spectacular results…A feel-good, rollicking listen.”

“[An] enthusiastic, candid memoir…in between the giddiness, she throws in enough hard facts and industry gossip to appease even the most jaded Simpsons fan. A hilarious must-read for the show’s cult following and for media students.”
— Booklist -
“Cartwright narrates this audiobook with a natural talent that is fantastic…Her narration not only makes it better than the print book form, but also no other narrator could have performed this audiobook better.”

“I’ve always known that Bart was cool; now I know why. Nancy’s book really takes me there, into her heart and mind. She makes me wonder if we all don’t have a latent ten-year-old inside. Rock on, sistah!”

" Great stuff about how The Simpsons episodes are created from script to air and her mentorship with Daws Butler (Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Elroy Jetson, etc.) from a true fan of the show, but the writing throughout is rather leaden. Also, the Scientology stuff is just pathetic. Still, worth a read. "
