More quotes by Penn Jillette
There are performers who have built their whole career doing magic on TV and can't really perform live at all - don't really have jobs and skills.
Penn Jillette
I believe in individual rights so much that I don't like any sort of 'what's good for the cause'-type questions.
Penn Jillette
'Christian' used to be a throwaway word. People didn't used to use it much. People didn't start self-labeling or getting labeled Christian until the last part of the 20th century. Before that, you might identify as a Baptist, or a Southern Baptist or a Methodist. But there wasn't one identifier that put you in a fold with all the other believers.

Poker has the feeling of a sport, but you don't have to do push-ups.

Read everything and be kind.
Penn Jillette
This I believe: I believe there is no God.
Penn Jillette
I'm really happy with all the art that was inspired by religion, and I think I'd be tickled to little tiny pieces if art in the future was inspired by other things.
Penn Jillette
You get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right.
Penn Jillette

Penn Jillette
Channeling is just bad ventriloquism. You use another voice, but people can see your lips moving.
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
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
We celebrities are desperate pigs.
Penn Jillette
Bacon is so good by itself that to put it in any other food is an admission of failure. You're basically saying, 'I can't make this other food taste good, so I'll throw in bacon.'
Penn Jillette
No one can tell you the rules of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' No one. Donald Trump just does what he wants, which is mostly pontificating to people who are sucking up to him, while the network people try to manipulate him into making the highest-rated show they can.
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.
Penn Jillette
Love and respect all people. Hate and destroy all faith.
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 I were trying to avoid embarrassment, I wouldn't have stumbled my way through 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Penn Jillette
I have more contact with people who consume, for lack of a better word, my product than any other performers.
