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.

That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!

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.

The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

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.

Deadlines refine the mind. They remove variables like exotic materials and processes that take too long. The closer the deadline, the more likely you'll start thinking waaay outside the box.

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