Cast Info - Yeardley Smith
A.K.A. Martha Maria Yeardley Smith
Roles on The Simpsons: Lisa Simpsons
Birthday: 7-3-1964
Birthplace: Paris, France
Comic actress and voice specialist Yeardley Smith has built a career out of her odd looks, small figure and distinctive, child-like nasal voice. Although she has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, she is best known for giving vocal life to the animated role of Lisa Simpson, the intelligent, caring, saxophone-playing, vegetarian member of the Simpson family.
The American Smith was born in Paris, France, where her father was a correspondent with UPI. By the time she was two, she and her family had moved to Washington, D.C., where she spent most of her childhood. A shy, introverted child, she started her ‘pixie-ish’ career as a teenager, playing Tinkerbell in a musical adaptation of Peter Pan at a nearby dinner theatre.
After receiving her high-school diploma, she apprenticed for a time at the famed Arena Stage before heading off to New York. She went on to Broadway and understudied the role of Debbie in Tom Stoppard's "The Real Thing" which starred Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close; she took over the role for eight months. Small film offers started coming her way with Heaven Help Us (1985) and The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) so in 1986 she headed west… After some work on the LA stage with "Boys and Girls/Men and Women" (1987) and "How the Other Half Loves" (1988) and a recurring role on the ground-breaking gay comedy "Brothers" (1984), Yeardley won the part of Lisa Simpson. The animated character was launched on the sketch TV comedy series The Tracey Ullman Show (1987).
Yeardley has had key roles on numerous TV shows and has made amusing guest appearances on many others. Her acting experience includes "Dharma & Greg" (1997), "Murphy Brown" (1988), "Empty Nest" (1988), "Mama's Family" (1983), and a regular role for three seasons as Louise on "Herman's Head" (1991). Other film supporting roles include City Slickers (1991), Jingle All the Way (1996) and As Good as It Gets (1997).
In 2004, Yeardley performed front-and-center in her own one-woman autobiographical show entitled "More" in New York.

Moe Szyslak: "If you’re going to beat up my friend in my bar, it's a 2 drink minimum"
“I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.”
“Hi, my name's Moe. Or as the ladies like to refer to me, 'hey you in the bushes'”
“Call this an unfair generalization if you must, but old people are no good at everything.”
Moe Szyslak: “Thanks Homer, no one's ever trusted me before. Except for that one guy who shouldn't have.”
Homer: “That was me.”
“One thing Moe Szyslak has never had is a partner. Nor a wife, a friend, a chum, a casual acquaintance, a pen pal, a parrot, a meaningful conversation, a brief hug, or eye contact. I'm just going to call the suicide hotline now.”
“Ehh, they think they’re so high and mighty. Just because they never got caught driving without pants.”

Moe Szyslak: “Thanks Homer, no one's ever trusted me before. Except for that one guy who shouldn't have.”
Homer: “That was me.”
“One thing Moe Szyslak has never had is a partner. Nor a wife, a friend, a chum, a casual acquaintance, a pen pal, a parrot, a meaningful conversation, a brief hug, or eye contact. I'm just going to call the suicide hotline now.”
“Ehh, they think they’re so high and mighty. Just because they never got caught driving without pants.”

Bart's Blackboard Lines
Here's a list of (most of) the lines Bart is forced to write on the blackboard at the beginning of each show:
I will not waste chalk
I will not skateboard in the halls
I will not burp in class
I will not instigate revolution
I will not draw naked ladies in class
I did not see Elvis
I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes"
Garlic gum is not funny
They are laughing at me, not with me
I will not yell "Fire" in a crowded classroom
I will not encourage others to fly
I will not fake my way through life
Tar is not a plaything
I will not Xerox my butt
It's potato, not potatoe
I will not trade pants with others
I am not a 32 year old woman
I will not do that thing with my tongue
I will not drive the principal's car
I will not pledge allegiance to Bart
I will not sell school property
I will not cut corners
I will not get very far with this attitude
I will not make flatuent noises in class
I will not belch the National Anthem
I will not sell land in Florida
I will not grease the monkey bars
I will not hide behind the Fifth Amendment
I will not do anything bad ever again
I will not show off
I will not sleep through my education
I am not a dentist
Spitwads are not free speech
Nobody likes sunburn slappers
High explosives and school don't mix
I will not bribe Principal Skinner
I will not squeak chalk
I will finish what I sta
"Bart Bucks" are not legal tender
Underwear should be worn on the inside
The Christmas Pageant does not stink
I will not torment the emotionally frail
I will not carve gods
I will not spank others
I will not aim for the head
I will not barf unless I'm sick
I will not expose the ignorance of the faculty
I saw nothing unusual in the teacher's lounge
I will not conduct my own fire drills
Funny noises are not funny
I will not snap bras
I will not fake seizures
This punishment is not boring and pointless
My name is not Dr. Death
I will not defame New Orleans
I will not prescribe medication
I will not bury the new kid
I will not teach others to fly
I will not bring sheep to class
A burp is not an answer
Teacher is not a leper
Coffee is not for kids
I will not eat things for money
I will not yell "She's Dead" at roll call
The principal's toupee is not a Frisbee
I will not call the principal "spud head"
Goldfish don't bounce
Mud is not one of the 4 food groups
No one is interested in my underpants
I will not sell miracle cures
I will return the seeing-eye dog
I do not have diplomatic immunity
I will not charge admission to the bathroom
I will never win an Emmy
The cafeteria deep fryer is not a toy
All work and no play makes Bart a dull boy
I will not say "Springfield" just to get applause
I will try to raise a better child (written by Marge, force by Ms. Krabaple)
I am not authorized to fire substitute teachers
My homework was not stolen by a one-armed man
I will not go near the kindergarten turtle
I am not deliciously saucy
Organ transplants are best left to the professionals
The Pledge of Allegiance does not end with Hail Satan
I will not celebrate meaningless milestones
There are plenty of businesses like show business
I will not re-transmit without the express permission of Major League Baseball
Five days is not too long to wait for a gun
Beans are neither fruit nor musical
I will not use abbrev.
I am not the reincarnation of Sammy Davis Jr.
I will not send lard through the mail
I will not dissect things unless instructed
I will not whittle hall passes out of soap
Ralph won't "morph" if you squeeze him hard enough
Adding "just kidding" doesn't make it okay to insult the Principal
"Bagman" is not a legitimate career choice
Cursive writing does not mean what I think it does
Next time it could be me on the scaffolding
I will not hang donuts on my person
I will remember to take my medication
I will not strut around like I own the place
The Good Humor man can only be pushed so far
I do not have power of attorney over first graders
