Quotes

Jamie: Adam, Grant and Tory have worked at ILM for some years. I worked there on one job with Grant and we became friends. Adam and Tory had worked with me or for me before then and, in fact, Adam got his first work in the field when I hired him over a decade ago. I found ILM a great place to work and that there were a lot of very talented people there. Many of the people there have worked with me over the years (edit)

Jamie: I wouldn't want to be next to this when it's running in the water. Because, we built it, and it's just, you know, as likely to fly apart and send a propeller through my head or something (edit)

While I really enjoy Mythbusters, I cannot see why in the world anyone would ever give this guy a chance to voice himself publicly, let alone point a camera at him.
