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
Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that's available.
Penn Jillette
If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.
Penn Jillette
There's no job in show business that's harder than any other job outside show business.
Penn Jillette
Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.
Penn Jillette
It's only the losers named Dave that think having an unusual name is bad, and who cares what they think. They're named Dave.
