"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."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I'm not a sculptor; I'm a hard-edged model maker. You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from 'Star Wars' - especially parts from 'Star Wars' - I can do this stuff all day long. It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"From earliest times, humans - explorers and thinkers - have wanted to figure out the shape of their world. Forever, the way we've done that is through storytelling. It is difficult to let the truth get in the way of a good story."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I've learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving."
Quote by -Adam Savage

"The only thing that differentiates you and me from a couple of fourteen year old pyromaniacs is balistic glass!"
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I'm always going to be making costumes. It's one of the ways I relax my brain. In addition to the pleasure of having the piece, there is a deep and abiding pleasure for me assembling something in my head - learning to know something in its totality in my head, and then putting together all the constituent parts into a cohesive whole."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Deadlines refine the mind. They remove variables like exotic materials and processes that take too long. The closer the deadline, the more likely you'll start thinking waaay outside the box."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I find that your basic Internet chat board is way too vitriolic for my taste."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"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."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"It's sort of a mental attitude about critical thinking and curiosity. It's about mindset of looking at the world in a playful and curious and creative way."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought. Giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I’m capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me, and I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me"
Quote by -Adam Savage
"Don't work for fools. It's not worth it. Getting paid less to work for people you like and believe in is much better for you (and your career) in the long run."
Quote by -Adam Savage
"We are always works in progress. You will hurt people you love, and help people you detest. This is called being a human and it happens to everyone."
