“There is no dignity in television.”

I’m obsessed with the form of a toolbox.

I’ve paid attention. I’ve pictured what I want to happen in my life.

Fractals, the theory of relativity, the genome: these are magnificently beautiful constructs.

It’s a repository for my brain, everything that I could possibly be interested in.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I just had one of those ‘what the hell are we doing’ moments.

I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.

Bigger is always better.

Remember kids, I have life insurance.

Let’s blow some stuff up.

This is the point in the show where we say, ‘Oh, what else do we have in the van that’s flammable?’

Jamie’s gonna go take a break now, and i am going to continue the on-going process of making a fool of myself and go ahead and try it myself.
