Your family, even though you love them, they can get on your nerves. You spend so much time together.

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.

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!

My whole family can talk. They are all car salesmen. They are all funny.

Your God is not our God! Your God loves your people and hates mine! He folds his strong protecting arms lovingly about the paleface and leads him by the hand as a father leads an infant son.

Before you trade sandwiches, check between the bread.

Australia is a huge rest home, where no unwelcome news is ever wafted on to the pages of the worst newspapers in the world.

Apple no longer builds any products. When I was there, people used to call Apple "a vertically integrated advertising agency," which was not a compliment.

A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. Thus by nature's own decree, the soft and gentle are triumphant.

Horror is so basic. You'd get an adrenaline jolt from watching your mom get gored by a woolly mammoth. A horror movie gives you the adrenaline without having to have your mom get gored.

Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.

I'm known clean around the Earth.
