Penn & Teller stopped doing practical jokes, and the reason is we got much too good at it.
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.'

The skills that we have are the actual magic skills - not the performing skills. We have to separate those. But the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don't get to use again.

Penn Jillette
I believe very much that the most damning thing you can say about Muslims is that you're afraid to say anything because they'll hurt you.
Penn Jillette

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.

Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It's just ganging up against the weird kid, and I'm always the weird kid.
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.

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.

The definition of a stupid thing is something that if you do everything right, you still get hurt. Fire-eating and love are stupid things.
