Adam Savage Quotes

My dignity and good television - they’ll never meet Picture Quote #1

Gravity. It’s not just a good idea; it’s the law! Picture Quote #1

How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?! Picture Quote #1

I think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed Picture Quote #1

I’m a lifelong movie addict, and one of my favorite projects is making replica props and costumes. Nearly every one of these - from R2D2 to Hellboy’s revolver - ends with the paint job. And it’s not just cosmetic. The paint literally tells a story: what this thing is made of, where it’s been, what it’s been used for, and for how long Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You don't need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely

When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew

Back when I was a professional model-maker at Industrial Light and Magic, my specialty was hard-edged construction - spaceships, miniature sets, and architectural stuff. These objects were sometimes just 12 inches across yet needed enough detail to fill a movie screen Picture Quote #1

The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. One worth clinging to. But you don’t need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It’s not just an idea, it’s reality. We’re discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There’s this group online that I frequent. It’s a group of prop crazies just like me called the Replica Props Forum, and it’s people who trade, make and travel in information about movie props Picture Quote #1

New York State is giant and has some of the most beautiful landscape on the Eastern seaboard. There is so much history in New York State, from the Erie Canal to the Catskills, the birth of American stand-up comedy Picture Quote #1

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary

Don't look back you're not going that way

The Internet is probably the most important technological advancement of my lifetime. Its strength lies in its open architecture and its ability to allow a framework where all voices can be heard Picture Quote #1

Mostly I make lists for projects. This can be daunting. Breaking something big into its constituent parts will help you organize your thoughts, but it can also force you to confront the depth of your ignorance and the hugeness of the task. That’s OK. The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m obsessed with the form of a toolbox. The idea of a portable kit that has everything you might need ignites something inside me. It’s like Batman’s utility belt Picture Quote #1

Walking the floor at a con dressed as Chewbacca, you might as well be Bono. I mean it’s ridiculous. People just walk up and grab you and hold you, because they love Chewbacca so much Picture Quote #1

A year from now you'll wish you started today

The darkest nights produce the brightest stars

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

That was cool and that sucked all at the same time Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs

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 Picture Quote #1

I have some ideas on how to fix that. They’re not very good ideas, but at least they’re ideas! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There’s few things that get you over your own crap more than working hard Picture Quote #1

Growing up in New York, I was sort of shocked when I realized that my children are Californians. They are 14 years old, and I explain to them frequently that they will never realize the glory of a snow day. You wake up and the world says, ‘Oops, it’s too much fun to go to school, you’ve got to stay home and deal with the snow!’ Picture Quote #1

I find that your basic Internet chat board is way too vitriolic for my taste Picture Quote #1
