"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."

"It's a treat to see the sun rise over the desert. What am I saying? It's a treat to fire off a rocket car over the desert!"

"How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?!"

"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."

"Failure is always an option"

"I had saved a few hundred photos of dodo skeletons into my 'Creative Projects' folder - it's a repository for my brain, everything that I could possibly be interested in. Any time I have an Internet connection, there's a sluice of stuff moving into there, everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos."

"Gravity. It's not just a good idea; it's the law!"

"Am I missing an eyebrow?"

"Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don't get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The guileless aren't our audience - it's the critical thinkers we love."

"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."

"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."

"We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity."

"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."

"I'm not gonna shoot anyone with the pellet gun... Not unless I have to!"

"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 think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed."

"I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola."

"I believe that rules do not make us moral; loving each other makes us moral."

"Firemen have the coolest toys ever!"

"Bigger is always better."

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

"When I finally got up to Industrial Light And Magic to work on the 'Star Wars' movies as a model-maker, it felt like dying and going to heaven."

"Sticks and stones can only break bones; but words can shatter the soul"

"Bad spellers of the world untie!"

"My workplace is wherever I'm making something, which could be in a field in gold country, or in an abandoned warehouse on a military base."

"Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than a master of one."
