As long as I could hold a pencil, I was drawing and telling stories and making jokes. I've just been lucky that no one ever stopped me, and now I can do that for a living.

I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming.

In terms of creative engagement, I just love being able to produce, produce, produce. You don't always get it perfect, but it has much more of an improvisational element, and you learn.

Gravity Falls is a show about mysteries and magic but first and foremost it's a show about characters.

I remember as a kid being scared of the things that go bump in the night, but I was way more scared of adults.

A sibling is a friend for life, but they are a friend for life that you are forced to have. And like anything that you are forced to do, occasionally people will drive you crazy.

My goal with Gravity Falls is to make people as paranoid and insane as I was as a child, and I'm delighted to see it's working!

Once you train an audience to look for significance, they start to find it everywhere.

Gravity Falls has transformed the children of America into an army of Dippers. I couldn't be more proud!

You can look at a finale as chance to make an impact or a statement, to shock people or shoot a big cannon and make a loud noise.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with UFOs in particular, and the paranormal. I grew up in the '90s, which is when The X-Files was at its zenith.

A thought which is created in a second can change the thousand years of the World!

Your lips are so soft and girly. I really must know what you use on them.

Winning has always meant much to me but winning ftiends has meant the most.

How can I explain purposely setting foot on a path so blatantly treacherous? Was the fun in the fall?

In the word of no master am I bound to believe.

The only way to form an army to be confided in, was a systematic discipline, by which means all men may be made heroes.

In the presence of their love I sensed my lonliness, and I understood for a moment, clearly, that deep and basic human desire for companionship at depth.

It's hard for me to describe my own style because I'm me.

If you worry about financial Armageddon, it is indeed metaphorically the time to stock your bunker with guns, ammunition, canned food and gold bars.

I like being a writer.
