More quotes by Penn Jillette
Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, 'Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not?' But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Penn Jillette
World War II proves there's no God.
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.

Penn Jillette
I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that's the same color. I tend to overthink things.
Penn Jillette
I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.
Penn Jillette
If you can just convince the dope people that the gun people are right and the gun people that the dope people are right, we could actually live in a lot more freedom.
Penn Jillette
There's no job in show business that's harder than any other job outside show business.
Penn Jillette
In music, if you hit a wrong note, people forgive you. In magic when something goes wrong, the entire art is destroyed.
Penn Jillette
When someone is trying to interpret something for you, they always have an agenda.
Penn Jillette
I don't think I'm made of the right stuff to be a politician. I think I'm made to be a loose cannon.
Penn Jillette
If I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don't know how I would make that make sense in the universe.
Penn Jillette
Poker has the feeling of a sport, but you don't have to do push-ups.
Penn Jillette
I'm not bothered by the idea of getting old, or I guess you could say by having arrived at old. I was 10 when my mom turned 55. For 1955, she was a very old mom.
