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.

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!

And your green eyes are the color of the hills- the color of my home.' His voice dropped to a whisper. 'Aye, there's something about you, Lindsey Waters.

Just hope. Hope is filled with power.

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.

When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?

One truth I know for sure is that I am so blessed in my life.

I think being a doctor is really hard, and it's really this thankless, never-ending job. It's not even that you get done with a project. There are always sick people.

O philosophy, you leader of life.

Being famous as a writer is like being famous in a village. It's not really any very heady fame.

I have accomplished little enough, but such as it is, it is the result of my own efforts.

I’m getting maximum enjoyment out of life and I’ll never stop.
