More quotes by Adam Savage

Adam Savage
I go home at the end of the day and I rarely talk about what I did that day. So my wife's experience is just like that of anybody else whose husband goes away to a blue collar job and comes home bruised and dirty and often proud of the work that they're doing.
Adam Savage
Stand back! I gotta get some rocket fuel out of the fridge!
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.
Adam Savage
I've always thought something that makes you laugh, it makes you laugh because there's a little bit of truth to it.
Adam Savage
Fractals, the theory of relativity, the genome: these are magnificently beautiful constructs.
Adam Savage
Let's blow some stuff up.
Adam Savage
I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.
Adam Savage
I've learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving.
