More quotes by Penn Jillette
I love when violent, dangerous art is done by people who are not violent and dangerous. I love that when George Romero was making 'Dawn of the Dead,' he was coaching his son's little league team.
Penn Jillette
Freedom means the right to be stupid.
Penn Jillette
I am a huge fan of proselytizing. I am a huge fan of speaking your mind. The only way we can share the universe... is by talking very strongly about what we believe.
Penn Jillette
The fact is that violence gives you a rush.
Penn Jillette
There is this tremendous amount of arrogance and hubris, where somebody can look at something for five minutes and dismiss it. Whether you talk about gaming or 20th century classical music, you can't do it in five minutes. You can't listen to 'The Rite of Spring' once and understand what Stravinsky was all about.
Penn Jillette
Everyday is an atheist holiday.
Penn Jillette
The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don't believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you're being censored.

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.

The definition of a stupid thing is something that if you do everything right, you still get hurt. Fire-eating and love are stupid things.
Penn Jillette
'Psycho' is fascinating philosophically, because the point of 'Psycho' is that everything that's bad happens because of love.
Penn Jillette
If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.
Penn Jillette
If you spend a lot of time lying to people, you think a lot about what the truth means.
Penn Jillette
Hypocrisy is annoying but not evil. Someone who says one thing and does another has doubled their chances of being half right.
Penn Jillette
That's the beauty of the Web: You can roll around in a stranger's obsession without having to smell his or her house. You can amscray whenever you want without being rude. The site gets its hit and you know more about our species' diversity.
Penn Jillette
Fear is the politicians dance partner.
Penn Jillette
We celebrities are desperate pigs.
Penn Jillette
Cars mean nothing to me. I'm not a car guy.
Penn Jillette
If I were trying to avoid embarrassment, I wouldn't have stumbled my way through 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Penn Jillette
If I go out to dinner with you and you order wine, I leave. I won't be around drugs and alcohol at all.
Penn Jillette
If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.
