“I can write a song and a thousand people could hear it and there will be countless different reasons why those people get something out of that song.

So to see ideas come to fruition and for someone to get something out of it is a beautiful thing.”

“In the summer of 2002, we had spent six weeks shooting the three pilots of Mythbusters, and Jamie[Hyneman] called me up afterward - well, first he called me up to tell me to clear my crap back out of his shop - and he said, "Well, that was kind of fun, wasn't it? I mean, I don't see where this could go, because we pretty much did everything. But it was fun."”
