More quotes by Adam Savage
I'm a lifelong movie addict, and one of my favorite projects is making replica props and costumes. Nearly every one of these - from R2D2 to Hellboy's revolver - ends with the paint job. And it's not just cosmetic. The paint literally tells a story: what this thing is made of, where it's been, what it's been used for, and for how long.

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.
Adam Savage
There's this group online that I frequent. It's a group of prop crazies just like me called the Replica Props Forum, and it's people who trade, make and travel in information about movie props.

Am I about to feel really, really stupid?

I think one of the defining moments of adulthood is the realization that nobody's going to take care of you. That you have to do the heavy lifting while you're here. And when you don't, well, you suffer the consequences.
Adam Savage
Fractals, the theory of relativity, the genome: these are magnificently beautiful constructs.
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.

I would have to say that looked like it hurt.
Adam Savage
Isn't television glamourous?
Adam Savage
Sometimes my brain writes a check that reality can't cash.
Adam Savage
I have some ideas on how to fix that. They're not very good ideas, but at least they're ideas!
Adam Savage
There's few things that get you over your own crap more than working hard.
Adam Savage
The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.
Adam Savage
Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?
Adam Savage
Let's blow some stuff up.

I think at this point, there's a certain bizarre chemistry between Jamie [Hyneman] and I that we can't ignore a lot of the mechanics of, that we're quite aware of. Half of it is absolutely genuine, and half of it is us playing around with that fact.
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.
Adam Savage
Am I missing an eyebrow?
Adam Savage
Deadlines refine the mind. They remove variables like exotic materials and processes that take too long. The closer the deadline, the more likely you'll start thinking waaay outside the box.
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.
