More quotes by Alex Hirsch
Some people could say, I'd like something that's super dramatic and miserable and made me cry and made me sad forever but that's not my taste.
Alex Hirsch
Your family, even though you love them, they can get on your nerves. You spend so much time together.
Alex Hirsch
I feel like the best kids shows aren't just for kids. The best kids shows have something in it for everyone. As you grow up, you're increasingly proud to be a fan of the show, rather than getting to an age where you suddenly become embarrassed that you ever liked it because it's only for seven-year-olds.
Alex Hirsch
I thought that was the coolest thing in the world, the idea of somebody trying to solve mysteries. I would see conspiracies in everything. I think I believed in leprechauns longer than any of my fellow classmates because I tried to catch them.
Alex Hirsch
I absolutely love television. What's so great about TV is that I can tell 20 stories in a year. If I was working at a feature studio, I'd tell 1% of someone else's story, over the course of four years.
Alex Hirsch
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.
Alex Hirsch
When I was 12 years old, I was obsessed with codes, conspiracies, and secret messages. I would record TV commercials with SoundRecorder.exe on Windows 95 and reverse them to see if I was being subliminally influenced to watch Pokémon by Japanese spies.
Alex Hirsch
The concern about what's too violent or what's too scary is something that I just completely don't let enter into my creative process. I feel like, if I spend a lot of time trying to worry about whether it will appeal to everyone and who will like it and who won't, and I try to please everyone, I'll just spread myself too thin and lose my mind.

I think twins can sometimes be shoved into the same mold and they can start to feel like they're not being given a chance to develop their own identities.
Alex Hirsch
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.
Alex Hirsch
When you're doing an animated series, you tend to pitch storyboards. You write a script and then you draw a comic version of that script and put it up on big boards, and then you pitch it to a big room of executives and writers.
Alex Hirsch
I believe that one of the reasons Gravity Falls is such an unusual place, maybe part of the reason that the stoplights switch on and off at random times and cell phones don't get proper reception and compasses spin wildly - is because of the strange kinetic influence of the UFO buried just underneath everyone's feet.
Alex Hirsch
Gravity Falls is a show about mysteries and magic but first and foremost it's a show about characters.
Alex Hirsch
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!
Alex Hirsch
I've always loved The Simpsons, just because it was really, really funny. As a kid, you love the characters. You know that the dad is dumb and frustrated, and you know that the boy is smarter than everyone else around him and is constantly getting into mischief.
Alex Hirsch
I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming.
Alex Hirsch
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.
Alex Hirsch
Once you train an audience to look for significance, they start to find it everywhere.
Alex Hirsch
There is a very specific, unique brand of rivalry that exists between twins. You're always wondering who the Alpha twin is.
Alex Hirsch
The most relevant misadventure that I had, as a kid, is when I remember being pretty convinced that leprechauns were real and that I was going to catch one.
