I try to be a man of mystery. I try to keep the various projects I'm up to as close to the vest as possible until it's time to reveal them.

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.

True freedom is in not having a master, but in making the master your slave

I have wished you something None of the others would....

A lovely horse is always an experience.... It is an emotional experience of the kind that is spoiled by words.

It's actually meditative to sit in a character for an extended period of time, realizing what your relationship is to who you're playing and then letting go, just being there.

Elections cannot inconvenience me. They ratify my will or I neuter them.

I am living proof that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better.

If I had created reality television I would have had a much greater influence, but then I would have had to KILL MYSELF.

I'm inspired by it all - the good and the not so good - because every experience is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

The rain is sharp today, as you shock me sane.
