Penn Jillette
I don't think anything gives your life joy and meaning. I think your life simply has joy and meaning. The love for my children, the love for my parents and the love for my friends is the end in itself. The meaning is life.

Cars mean nothing to me. I'm not a car guy.
Penn Jillette
We knew that we were kind of odd and creeps, and we wanted to do odd, creepy stuff for people who wanted to see that.

When I was 15, 16, 17 years old, I spent five hours a day juggling, and I probably spent six hours a day seriously listening to music. And if I were 16 now, I would put that time into playing video games.
