Running out of material for 'MythBusters' is like saying, 'We've done everything we could possibly do and we're not curious or interested in anything.' Let's hope that never happens.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Adam and I don't consider ourselves friends. We don't spend any time together that we don't have to.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
The only way we can fly planes and use computers is because people were curious about their world and also skeptical about the things they were told to be immutable, so they figured out other ways of doing things.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I think anybody who's curious about anything, including their own mind, is inherently a skeptic.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Over time, shop classes sort of disappeared or got marginalized in the states. I don't really know why. Now with tech like 3-D printers and CNCs, shops have acquired a new shine.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
When I was in school, shop class was where the kids that weren't good in anything to do with books went.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
An indispensable tool is a pair of diagonal cutting Knipex pliers. There isn't any other hand tool of any other brand that stands up to it.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
We've gotten quite creative with our use of explosives... It's almost like an art form, rather than just blowing crap up.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
We're not too out there to educate people about any specific thing necessarily so much as we are to encourage critical and scientific thinking.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Terry Gilliam has directed some of the best examples of what I like to see in a film - one of them being 'Baron Munchausen.'
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
When I watch a movie I don't really care too much about the plot - not that it isn't important, but what I remember is the visual imagery, something that happens in an individual scene.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Pepper spray, a Taser, a suckling pig and a self-built motorized spit. It's a perfect Thanksgiving, 'MythBusters'-style.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I'm not an early adopter of technology unless I consider it absolutely indispensable.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
You have to remember that I'm a guy who is happiest in a dark room just thinking.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Personally I'm more into science and engineering types of things, not so much into testing 'Star Wars' myths.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
We seriously irritate each other and don't want to spend any time together. And yet we have a profound respect for the partnership. We're like a couple of dogs with a rag.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Science is for anyone who wants to explore their world and understand things.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
If you build a robot, you're welding, machining sculpting, casting, dealing with electronics and hydraulics.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
A good urban legend is something that actually did happen but it got twisted in the telling over time.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I never dreamed we would be on television at all, much less for such a long time and with so much praise for keeping a thought provoking show on the air. And best of all, we were able to do what we do and still have all our fingers and toes.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I think when you do stuff in a computer people tend to dismiss it. It also allows you to make a lot of stuff totally not connected with reality because you're not limited by any kind of reality.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Miles Flannery - he's a beast. Very talented, but a brute. He's one of three guys who help us keep the shop maintained, help us set up on location and assist in building something if time is short.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
As far as I'm concerned, raising the bar or encouraging kids in large numbers to be interested in science, I can't think of anything I'd rather see happen.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
We're fond of pointing out that we've known each other for over 25 years now and not once sat down alone to have dinner together. We pretty much avoid spending whatever time together that we can.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Neither Adam or I are scientists, we're not engineers or anything of the sort. We just have a lot of fun and the thing is, fun for us happens to involve science and satisfying our curiosity.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Occasionally, you know, a myth is specific with a certain model of car, you know, like a Corvette or whatever. And so we end up spending some cash on those.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
If you get the question right, if you really define it, then the answers are just sitting there waiting for you. And it's something a little different than people usually think.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
One of the main reasons for success on the show is that we're not a demonstration show. We're an experimentation show.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
It's the results that are surprising, even results where we've totally screwed up, and then learned something in the process, are the ones that stand out. Having our preconceptions overturned is actually thrilling for us.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I don't see that we're any different than many, many people that are out there. And it's hard to kind of accept something like we're larger than life, super-people or something like that.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
I have to say that we're not actors, at least on 'Mythbusters' or any of the other television projects that we've done.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Some of the most important discoveries that scientists have made were not what they were seeking at the time.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
We've done a zombie episode - only one - and the way we look at it as is we understand that there probably aren't zombies out there for real, but there's a lot of interesting stuff we can test about them. We've tested how bodies of zombies pressing against a gate, would they push it through and things like that.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
Well, one of the myths early on that I think is one of the funnier things we've done is airline toilet seats. That one was about a large woman that sat down on a seat in an airline and flushed the toilet and got stuck on it.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
The core of what we're doing is, we're playing with the world. And our curiosity in doing that is what we are most proud of and what we like to put out there.
Quote by -Jamie Hyneman
In my case you can pretty well figure that you can put a beret and a mustache on just about anything you want and it looks like me.
