Lists are how I parse and manage the world.

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!'

I have some ideas on how to fix that. They're not very good ideas, but at least they're ideas!

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.

Being a geek is all about learning the inventories of things.

The best-case scenario is that the glass shatters in my face! How do you think that makes me feel?

Jamie's gonna go take a break now, and i am going to continue the on-going process of making a fool of myself and go ahead and try it myself.

This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'

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.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I like to work fast. I despise not having the right tool or, worse, knowing I have it but not being able to find it. It's a pointless delay that wrecks my pace - and mood.
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.
