Here's my solution. A statement is a grouping of symbols(which is what words are) and can, itself, be treated as a symbol. Symbols are used to refer to something other than themselves, but when you have the statement refer to itself, you get a paradox. When it refers to itself it becomes infinitely interpretable causing "This statement is false." to cycle between True and False for as long as you try to interpret it.
