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

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.

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!

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.

Have faith in the truth. Faith can move mountains.

If you're happy in a dream, does that count?

Euclid avoids it [the treatment of the infinite]; in modern mathematics it is systematically introduced, for only then is generality obtained.

Many actors want to play Hamlet and Macbeth. Ever since I became an actor, from the very beginning I just wanted to play a Shetland pony. I cannot explain why

I remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought; but it's been my experience that a good many more use it instead of thought.

I find that discussing an idea out loud is often the way to kill it stone dead.

I have always followed my instincts when it comes to music and life in general. They were telling me very loudly that it was time for John D., Hallmark and I to get back together.

The heavenly light you admire is fossil-light, it's the unfathomably distant past you gaze into, stars long extinct

This is the theater. And this is the best place for the imagination.

Don't spend time with anyone you don't like.
