More From Adam Savage

So the laws of good driving forbade you to go off the magic ribbon except in extreme emergencies. you were ethically entitled to several inches of margin at the right-hand edge; and the man approaching you was entitled to an equal number of inches; which left a remainder of inches between the two projectiles as they shot by. it sounds risky as one tells it, but the heavens are run on the basis of similar calculations, and while collisions do happen, they leave time enough in between for universes to be formed, and successful careers conducted by men of affairs.

I used to do fight sequences, and i started to get self-conscious about fight sequences, because invariably the other person would get hurt, and you never want anyone to be hurt on a film, let alone you being responsible. the great thing about working with guys who have spent their life choreographing fights for wrestling is that that's what they do. that's their specialty. their specialty is selling taking hits. their specialty is selling explosive hits without making a contact or doing too much damage.

People think that alien spaceships would be solid and made of metal and have lights all over them and move slowly through the sky because that is how we would build a spaceship if we were able to build one that big. but aliens, if they exist, would probably be very different from us. they might look like big slugs, or be flat like reflections. or they might be bigger than planets. or they might not have bodies at all. they might just be information, like in a computer. and their spaceships might look like clouds, or be made up of unconnected objects like dust or leaves.

And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

The serum wears off five hours later, when the sun is just beginning to set. tobias shut me in my room for the rest of the day, checking on me every hour. this time when he comes in, i am sitting on the bed, glaring at the wall. “thank god,” he says, pressing his forehead to the door. “i was beginning to think it would never wear off and i would have to leave you here to … smell flowers, or whatever you wanted to do while you were on that stuff.
