I reject your reality and substitute my own.

There is no dignity in television.

Adam Savage

I'm always going to be making costumes. It's one of the ways I relax my brain.

That's the show. it's like 5 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself.

Adam Savage

Bigger is always better.

Adam Savage

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

Adam Savage

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.

Jamie doesn't like to do anything hastily, and I like to do everything incredibly hastily. So therein you have the dichotomy of our patterns.

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.

Adam Savage

Am I about to feel really, really stupid?

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.

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.
