Penn Jillette
It wasn't success, because Teller and I, by the time Asparagus Valley got together - within a year, we had achieved all our goals. I mean, our goal was to earn our living doing exactly what we wanted. Which is many people's goal.

TV networks are dying. The death throes of religion give us jihads. The death throes of television give us reality shows.
