"Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than a master of one."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"My workplace is wherever I'm making something, which could be in a field in gold country, or in an abandoned warehouse on a military base."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'"
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I wouldn't say jamie is an evil genius. I'm not sure he's evil and I'm not sure he's a genius."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Of course, I love tools. I also love arranging them, to the point where I came up with a name for my organizing metric: first-order retrievability."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Technology is usually there to let some process go on hidden in the background. For us on 'MythBusters,' we're always trying to make the process apparent. So, we have learned to try and never rely on a technological solution when an analogue one is in front of us."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"The explosions, like the urban legends, are a great way of bringing people in to watch, because it's really fun, and you know we're always going to give you a satisfying ending."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don't get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The guileless aren't our audience - it's the critical thinkers we love."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I had saved a few hundred photos of dodo skeletons into my 'Creative Projects' folder - it's a repository for my brain, everything that I could possibly be interested in. Any time I have an Internet connection, there's a sluice of stuff moving into there, everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"After all those years of doing remote detonations, where we just push a button and something explodes, to actually see a nice big fat line of black smoke heading toward something that will blow up is very satisfying."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"It's a treat to see the sun rise over the desert. What am I saying? It's a treat to fire off a rocket car over the desert!"
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I find it's too much for me to read endless critiques, even if we're being well-defended, of exactly what we're doing. When someone tells us something we're doing wrong on the boards, we try to respond, we try to be responsive to the fan boards, but yeah, I can't read them."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"We cleared all traces of our occupation out of M6 and moved to M7, and it's been quite smooth over there. We chose a place all the way at the end of an industrial park."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I think the whole thing that Jamie [Hyneman] and I have in working together is that we are constantly simplifying each other's designs, and we both appreciate that the quickest and the dirtiest solution is usually the most elegant, the least expensive, and the fastest."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Growing up in New York, I was sort of shocked when I realized that my children are Californians. They are 14 years old, and I explain to them frequently that they will never realize the glory of a snow day. You wake up and the world says, 'Oops, it's too much fun to go to school, you've got to stay home and deal with the snow!'"
Quote by -Adam Savage
"The skeptical community is absolutely near and dear to the 'Mythbusters' heart and there's no small reason that they've embraced us. That's our people. That's the way we like to think."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I felt like I had kind of played it out, and I wanted to see what was next, and then came Mythbusters. You know, it's the best job I've ever had, on its worst day it's better than anything else, but it's a huge amount of responsibility, and there are days when just going into work and building something from someone else's drawing sounds like going back to heaven."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. One worth clinging to. But you don't need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It's not just an idea, it's reality. We're discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"There are women who are wishing that they were that piece of tape right now."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Prayer doesn't work because someone out there is listening, it works because someone in here is listening. I've paid attention. I've pictured what I want to happen in my life. I've meditated extensively on my family, my future, my past actions and what did and didn't work for me about them."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"If I haven't had any long term psychological side effects from all the things I've already done on this show, this isn't gonna hurt much more."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"We're allowed to explore the world at large on these things; the urban-legend aspect of it is just kind of an excuse."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"The Internet is probably the most important technological advancement of my lifetime. Its strength lies in its open architecture and its ability to allow a framework where all voices can be heard."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Walking the floor at a con dressed as Chewbacca, you might as well be Bono. I mean it's ridiculous. People just walk up and grab you and hold you, because they love Chewbacca so much."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Whether it's the experiments on 'MythBusters' or my earlier work in special effects for movies, I've regularly had to do things that were never done before, from designing complex motion-control rigs to figuring out how to animate chocolate."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done."

Quote by -Adam Savage
"New York State is giant and has some of the most beautiful landscape on the Eastern seaboard. There is so much history in New York State, from the Erie Canal to the Catskills, the birth of American stand-up comedy."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I'm actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Mostly I make lists for projects. This can be daunting. Breaking something big into its constituent parts will help you organize your thoughts, but it can also force you to confront the depth of your ignorance and the hugeness of the task. That's OK. The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip."
Quote by -Adam Savage
I'm obsessed with the form of a toolbox. The idea of a portable kit that has everything you might need ignites something inside me. It's like Batman's utility belt.
