More quotes by 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
It seems just rude to beg the invisible for more.
Penn Jillette
Every poker player is smarter than me.
Penn Jillette
The fact is that violence gives you a rush.
Penn Jillette
I've never revved my car at a light for an attractive woman or an auto-rival, not even as a joke.
Penn Jillette
Trey Parker did 'Book of Mormon.' It's the best Broadway show I've ever seen. He does 'South Park.' It's wonderful.
Penn Jillette
You have to be careful as a libertarian because you can sound very Republican.
Penn Jillette
The secret truth of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is that it isn't very hard... 'Celebrity Apprentice' is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt, hormone-raging bug nutty.

Penn & Teller don't know jack about global warming.

I'm a big fan of gospel music, and you cannot be a fan of rock and roll, you cannot be a fan of country western music, and you can't really be a fan of jazz without listening to a lot of music that's religious.
Penn Jillette
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.
Penn Jillette
The cliche of the nerdy kid who doesn't go outside and just plays games is completely untrue. And it's also true for the nerdy kid who studies comic books and turns into this genius, and it is also true for the nerdy kid who listens to every nerdy thing that Led Zeppelin put out. That kind of obsession in a 16-year-old is not ugly. It's beautiful.
Penn Jillette
I'm a hardcore libertarian - I want everything legal - but I also believe that you have the right to free association.
Penn Jillette
Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
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
We celebrities are desperate pigs.
Penn Jillette
I'm an amazing mama's boy.
Penn Jillette
In my private life, I'm not around any drugs or alcohol.
Penn Jillette
A joke is a way to say, 'I'm going to do something funny now. If I don't get a laugh at the end, I'm a failure.'
Penn Jillette
Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there.
