Text Quotes
My dignity and good television - they’ll never meet  (Adam Savage Quotes) How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?!  (Adam Savage Quotes) I think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes) That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done.  (Adam Savage Quotes) The fact is that the British Museum had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection up until the 18th century - it was actually mummified, skin and all - but in a fit of space-saving zeal, they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet and they burned the rest in a bonfire.  (Adam Savage Quotes) I go home at the end of the day and I rarely talk about what I did that day. So my wife’s experience is just like that of anybody else whose husband goes away to a blue collar job and comes home bruised and dirty and often proud of the work that they’re doing.  (Adam Savage Quotes) I believe that inside every tool is a hammer  (Adam Savage Quotes) That was cool and that sucked all at the same time  (Adam Savage Quotes) If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes) In theory, cars are fairly simple. If they don’t start, it’s either the fuel system or the electrical system. Teach yourself about the path of each in your engine and tracing it is fairly straightforward. But at the beginning, mastering each new system seems like an unreachable shore. The car is effectively a black box.  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes) 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.  (Adam Savage Quotes)
