The vast majority of people who have guns never hurt anybody.
Penn Jillette
Direct confrontation, direct conversation is real respect. And it's amazing how many people get that.
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
Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.
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
You can't stop insane people from doing insane things with insane laws. That's insane!

If there are two things Penn & Teller stand for, it's the truth & lying, although not necessarily in that order.
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.

If I were trying to avoid embarrassment, I wouldn't have stumbled my way through 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Penn Jillette
Even if I disagree with Obama on many, many things, he is certainly qualified to be president. He is certainly competent to be president.
Penn Jillette
For better or worse, in the 21st century, reality shows are the variety show.
Penn Jillette
'Psycho' is fascinating philosophically, because the point of 'Psycho' is that everything that's bad happens because of love.
Penn Jillette
There is no reason for the government to limit political speech.
Penn Jillette
'Zolten' is a common Hungarian name, it's my wife's maiden name and most importantly, it's the name of Dracula's dog.
Penn Jillette
If you like the stuff I do, my chances of liking you go up.

One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we're in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality. That is the subject that, if you have a brain in your head, is always dealt with in magic. The smarter the tricks you're doing, the more that' s an important thing.
Penn Jillette
There is this tremendous amount of arrogance and hubris, where somebody can look at something for five minutes and dismiss it. Whether you talk about gaming or 20th century classical music, you can't do it in five minutes. You can't listen to 'The Rite of Spring' once and understand what Stravinsky was all about.
Penn Jillette
I am a huge fan of proselytizing. I am a huge fan of speaking your mind. The only way we can share the universe... is by talking very strongly about what we believe.
Penn Jillette
My parents were teetotalers and my grandparents were - it's all the way back. It's New English puritanical tradition.
Penn Jillette
I think one of the things about Donald Trump that's interesting is he lives in a rarified atmosphere where it's possible that he doesn't get enough feedback, enough people rolling their eyes at him. It's a danger more in show business than it is with wealth.
