Publisher's summary

Nancy Cartwright, the ultimate Simpsons insider, gives voice to the boy immediately recognizable as none other than Bart Simpson. In this memoir, Nancy traces The Simpsons’ rapid rise to wild popularity, offers hilarious anecdotes about cast members and guest stars, and reveals what it’s like to be at the center of an American institution - one that reinvented the sitcom, rocked the TV networks to the core, and forever changed the face of television.

This new and updated audio edition represents a substantial revision of Cartwright’s 2000 book, My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy. Now enhanced with multiple audio clips featuring celebrity cameos from the The Simpsons, I’m Still a 10-Year-Old Boy is uniquely suited to the audio experience. Audio cameos included are by Danny DeVito, Elizabeth Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Meryl Streep, Kirk Douglas, J.K. Simmons, and Beverly D’Angelo as well as Simpsons main characters.

Since its debut on the Fox Network in 1989, Matt Groening’s series The Simpsons has become the long-running (more than 30 years strong, with 706 episodes) sitcom on television. It is a beloved and often prescient satirical depiction of American life, epitomized by the Simpson family, consisting of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and - of course - mischievous, rebellious, irreverent Bart. It continues to offer a biting parody of American culture, society, and television as well as the human condition itself.

Dear Listener,

What inspired me to tell my story?
"Before we had internet and network television still dominated home entertainment, I would get tons of mail from my loyal and dedicated fans. They wanted to know: What was my favorite episode? How did I get the part of Bart Simpson? How did I get started? We were rapidly approaching our 10-year anniversary and I thought it would be a perfect gift for my fans if I were to pen a book, not only about my personal journey but also about the production of the show itself. And so that is what I did. 20-plus years later, this new-and-improved audiobook will reveal even more in-depth anecdotes, like how I rented the Hollywood Dome for the premiere of The Simpsons Movie; how I broke my back in a hit-and-run; and how I found another voice—my inner-voice—that has to do with helping children and parents. My goal is to “flip the inspiration” by taking what originally inspired me and giving it right back to you. Snuggle in or drive to your destination. Either way, enjoy!" – Nancy Cartwright, creator of I'm Still a 10-Year-Old-Boy

Go Bug Eyes!

I laughed, I cried then I laughed and cried again, and again and again!
A remarkable story about a remarkable women and her unprecedented career and life. It was heartwarming, inspiring, informative and oh yes, mucho entertaining!

A must for Nancy/Bart fans to get an inside look at this extraordinary production. There just aren’t the modifiers to bestow on this phenomena! The show, it’s success and it’s longevity speak for its self!

It is also a must for aspiring voice over artists as Nancy takes you through her career and what it takes.

Thank you for this wonderful story Nancy!
Love it!

A huge fan,

M. L.

Voice of my favorite cartoon Bart Simpson! :)

Nancy Cartwright wrote a delightful book! She brought back so much nostalgia and has a great personality! I was very entertained with her audiobook. Bart will always be to me the greatest cartoon character ever created! :)

A super entertaining in-depth look behind the scenes of the Simpsons and how to have the dream life.

Wow! I am so impressed! I can’t say I’ve seen every episode of the Simpsons but I admit I was curious about the person behind this global sensation Bart Simpson.
Boy did I get all my questions answered! This book is an extremely good example of how to do what you love, work really hard doing it, keep your life clean and have gratitude for everyone who helps you along the way. What a truly delightful and inspiring experience. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I laughed again. I ran all my errands and cleaned my house and made meals with Nancy’s gloriously warm and funny voice entertaining me through it all. I never wanted it to end. Such a refreshing, utterly feel-good book especially for this trying time. I am grateful for this book and have referred many people to it. Thank you Nancy, for being a truly honorable example of celebrity especially knowing how many children are looking up to you. ❤️

Laughed and cried and learned some things.

Oh goodness. I could not stop listening. The journey Nancy takes you on is like riding passenger to her life. I felt my heart swell as Nancy’s spoke about her start to life and having nothing to lose. Crying over loses and unexpected experiences in life. And yes, I finally learned why most cartoons only have 4 fingers.

Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a funny lady’s life.

Thank you Nancy!

A fan

I loved this book. I'm a big fan of the Simpsons and Hearing about her life was very interesting. She has worked with some the best people. I laughed, I teared up. It would be a good paper book but it's amazing as a audio book hearing her tell it its the best.

Inspirational and Very Entertaining

I have to give a confession first, I have never watched The Simpsons. But I have a friend who is a Voice Over talent, and I have heard of Nancy Cartwright through her humanitarian activities, so was interested in her book. It was wonderful. There is something about hearing from someone about their hard knocks and success that is personal and inspiring. So this book was that to me. Her voice is amazing and everything she has done is so heartfelt, that it makes me want to do more myself.

For anyone involved in animation, this is probably a really good set of “notes” on how to do your job.

But for anyone else just involved in surviving life, this is an amazing summation of the right way to do things.

Thanks a lot, Nancy!
