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.

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
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.

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.
Alex Hirsch
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
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.

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
Everyone has days where they don't get their way, where you have to go to bed early or you have too much homework to do or you can't eat the candy that you want or you miss your favorite TV show and, in those moments, you just want to tear the whole world down.
Alex Hirsch
I've always just loved drawing and loved cartoons. Growing up, I loved Disney films, I loved The Simpsons, and I was a big fan of the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes and the way that they would have weird fantasy and then down-to-earth funny character comedy.
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
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
Gravity Falls is a show about mysteries and magic but first and foremost it's a show about characters.
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
Once you train an audience to look for significance, they start to find it everywhere.
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.
Alex Hirsch
If you ask anyone in animation, how long they've been into animation, they'll pretty much always tell you that it's since they can remember, and I'm no exception.
Alex Hirsch
I remember as a kid being scared of the things that go bump in the night, but I was way more scared of adults.
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
I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming.
Alex Hirsch
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.
Alex Hirsch
There is a very specific, unique brand of rivalry that exists between twins. You're always wondering who the Alpha twin is.
