I think anybody who's curious about anything, including their own mind, is inherently a skeptic.

I'm excited about all technology.

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.

When I was in school, shop class was where the kids that weren't good in anything to do with books went.

I am pretty much who I seem, and it's not a television host.

I was a problematic kid, to be sure.

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.

I'm sort of reluctant to celebrity.

We've gotten quite creative with our use of explosives... It's almost like an art form, rather than just blowing crap up.

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.

Terry Gilliam has directed some of the best examples of what I like to see in a film - one of them being 'Baron Munchausen.'

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.

Pepper spray, a Taser, a suckling pig and a self-built motorized spit. It's a perfect Thanksgiving, 'MythBusters'-style.

I pretty much just use my smartphone for phone calls.

I'm not an early adopter of technology unless I consider it absolutely indispensable.

I'm not a sociable person. I don't like to talk.

You have to remember that I'm a guy who is happiest in a dark room just thinking.

Personally I'm more into science and engineering types of things, not so much into testing 'Star Wars' myths.

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.

Science is for anyone who wants to explore their world and understand things.

If you build a robot, you're welding, machining sculpting, casting, dealing with electronics and hydraulics.

A good urban legend is something that actually did happen but it got twisted in the telling over time.

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.

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.
