A weird show attracts weird fans!

The Internet never ceases to impress me.

I was raised in the '90s. I love 'Seinfeld.'

Gravity Falls' is a very hard show to produce.

Not a lot of people get to say, 'I'm a cartoon character.'

As long as I can recall I've always wanted to make cartoons.

I loved 'The Simpsons' because it didn't talk down to its audience.

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

When you write scripts, it begins to feel like you're living in them.

Sometimes a sincere moment is the most surprising thing you can write.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with UFOs in particular, and the paranormal.

I've never pitched a joke that I wouldn't be comfortable seeing in a Pixar film.

Gravity Falls' was a labor of love, but like all labor it could be painful at times.

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

When I was 12 years old, I was obsessed with codes, conspiracies, and secret messages.

The best way to make a show that's going to resonate is to make a show that you'd love.

With Twitter and Tumblr, it's easy to get lost in the tidal wave of feedback from fans.

Cute animals have a pretty good track record in animation for inspiring passionate fandom.

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

To see where I've stolen all my ideas from, look no further than the comics at your local comic shop!

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

I think there are a lot of shows out there that value being hip or cool over being funny and heartfelt.

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

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

With the finale episode of 'Gravity Falls' our job as storytellers is to finish all the things we've started.

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

One of the nice things about not working on a TV show anymore is that I'm not on any particular kind of clock.

When I was 15 I did birdcalls on the David Letterman show, but I have since burned all video evidence of this.

I spent 90 percent of my childhood playing SNES and N64, and my favorite games were the ones packed with secrets.

The fact that childhood ends is exactly what makes it so precious - and why you should cherish it while it lasts.

I love the idea that if you watch something twice, three times, four times, you'll continuously notice new things.

I always designed 'Gravity Falls' to be a finite series about one epic summer-a series with a beginning, middle, and end.

When you're drawing from observation and experience, whether you intend to or not, you'll create a more relatable cartoon.

When I was about 7 years old, I built a leprechaun trap out of a cardboard box, a biscuit tin and some toilet paper tubes.

There is a very specific, unique brand of rivalry that exists between twins. You're always wondering who the Alpha twin is.

I spent many years of my childhood pondering the great mysteries like, 'Are aliens real?' and 'Why won't girls talk to me?'

While everyone was out playing dodgeball, I was lying on the blacktop waiting for a UFO to take me out of elementary school.

One day I'd love to release a coffee table book of all the crazy notes I got from Disney Channel's S&P and legal department.

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!

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.

Gravity Falls' didn't just appear overnight - every spooky cave and moss covered tree was created by a team of brilliant artists.

I remember spending one summer being utterly obsessed with trying to get the legendary unreachable 'Ice Key' from 'Banjo-Kazooie.'

I think good kids TV has got to have layers. It has to have compelling characters that everyone loves, but you can't dumb it down.

I went to art school for four years to learn a very expensive lesson - that there are many other artists who are way better than me.

Gravity Falls' is a riddle wrapped in an enigma tucked in a mystery deep-fried in a conundrum slathered in hickory-smoked puzzle sauce.

A lot of kid characters you see on TV are sassy, and snarky, and think they're just the coolest kids in the world, and are mean spirited.

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 a kid, I was obsessed with 'Calvin and Hobbes' and 'Bone,' and I'm certain that I've unconsciously ripped off ideas from both, wholesale.

I watched the classics as a kid, and I could tell that Bugs Bunny in drag was a cartoon and a joke. It didn't make me start dressing in drag.

I will say this: 'Gravity Falls' is a show about mystery, that itch you get when you're curious. That itself is a really cool, inspiring thing.
