“Failure is always an option.” — Adam Savage Quote

Failure is always an option.

Whether it's the experiments on 'MythBusters' or my earlier work in special effects for movies, I've regularly had to do things that were never done before, from designing complex motion-control rigs to figuring out how to animate chocolate.

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

The 'Mythbusters' crew, we monitor the Discovery boards, we look for the new ideas that are being forwarded on those boards, and we keep track of what's going on, we keep updated.

Lists are how I parse and manage the world.

You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.

Just do what you want to do, and who cares what people think. That's always been my thing.

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

I always knew that I was destined for something big in this world.

I've always known I was gifted, which is not the easiest thing in the world for a person to know, because you're not responsible for your gift, only for what you do with it.
