More quotes by Penn Jillette
Building a professional relationship on respect as opposed to affection is a very good idea. Running your art projects the way you'd run a dry-cleaning business is also a really good idea. You shouldn't go into work like you're going on a date, like you're hanging out with friends.

Twelve magicians and two carnies have been shot dead doing the bullet catch. That's cool enough, but every night when we close our show with that trick and the loaded gun gets pointed in my face, it goes so far beyond cool. All I can think is 12 magicians, two carnies.

Never ascribe to conspiracy that which can be attributed to ignorance.

If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.

When I was a kid, politicians wanted to avoid talking about religion if they could. John F. Kennedy couldn't duck the issue, being Catholic and all. So how did he address it? By reminding Americans that religion shouldn't be an issue, that he was concentrating on big things like poverty and hunger and leading the space race.

The whole world is pretending the breakthrough is in technology. The bottleneck is really in art.

Channeling is just bad ventriloquism. You use another voice, but people can see your lips moving.

Even if I disagree with Obama on many, many things, he is certainly qualified to be president. He is certainly competent to be president.

I'm a hardcore libertarian - I want everything legal - but I also believe that you have the right to free association.

I intend to do the Penn & Teller show until they pry my cheesy magic wand from my cold dead fingers.
