More quotes by 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
We all have friends we love dearly that couldn't pass for human in a strict Turing test.
Penn Jillette
The vast majority of the world knows there's no reason to circumcise. Someone should tell the doctors.
Penn Jillette
I love the feeling of shredded wheat. I love healthy bird food with a fun-to-eat feel. Then you spray them with sugar, and I'm there.
Penn Jillette
Everyday is an atheist holiday.
Penn Jillette
We celebrities are desperate pigs.
Penn Jillette
I believe the fast track to atheism is reading the Bible. I've read it three times all the way through. It's a big part of our culture, a big part of our history. I don't just read things I agree with.
Penn Jillette
If I go out to dinner with you and you order wine, I leave. I won't be around drugs and alcohol at all.
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
We have to fight for the freedom to be stupid, and smoking is one of the best ways to fight for your freedom, to be just as stupid as you can be.
Penn Jillette
I'm a big fan of gospel music, and you cannot be a fan of rock and roll, you cannot be a fan of country western music, and you can't really be a fan of jazz without listening to a lot of music that's religious.
Penn Jillette
I didn't learn fire-eating to conquer my fears. I learned fire-eating because I desperately wanted to be in show business.
Penn Jillette
If you want to talk about magic, the stuff that blows me away is the stuff that's done close up.
Penn Jillette
If entertainment ran grocery stores, we'd NEVER get oil cured olives or blue cheese, it would be JUST Coke.
Penn Jillette
Two things have always been true about human beings. One, the world is always getting better. Two, the people living at that time think it's getting worse.
Penn Jillette
'Psycho' is fascinating philosophically, because the point of 'Psycho' is that everything that's bad happens because of love.
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
I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.
Penn Jillette
If I were trying to avoid embarrassment, I wouldn't have stumbled my way through 'Dancing with the Stars.'
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.
