Penn Jillette
You can't stop insane people from doing insane things with insane laws. That's insane!
Penn Jillette
One of the strongest feelings you can get in life--one of the most rewarding feelings--is the feeling of an Aha, I finally understand.
Penn Jillette
I have more contact with people who consume, for lack of a better word, my product than any other performers.
Penn Jillette
I love when violent, dangerous art is done by people who are not violent and dangerous. I love that when George Romero was making 'Dawn of the Dead,' he was coaching his son's little league team.
