More quotes by Adam Savage
There is no dignity in television.
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.
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.
Adam Savage
I learned at an early age that I could make the things that I wanted. That's a very powerful thing to realize as a kid. LEGOs were a key part of that.
Adam Savage
sticks and stones can only break bones but words can shatter the soul
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.
Adam Savage
The 'Mythbusters' crew, we monitor the Discovery boards, we look for the new ideas that are being forwarded on those boards, and we keep track of what's going on, we keep updated.
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.
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.
Adam Savage
I think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed.
Adam Savage
I believe that rules do not make us moral loving each other makes us moral.
Adam Savage
The coolest toys don't have to be bought they can be built. In fact, sometimes the only way they'll ever exist is if you make them yourself.
Adam Savage
My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.
Adam Savage
Isn't television glamourous?
Adam Savage
If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating.
Adam Savage
The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.
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
Being a geek is all about learning the inventories of things.
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.
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.
