More quotes by Penn Jillette
I'm really happy with all the art that was inspired by religion, and I think I'd be tickled to little tiny pieces if art in the future was inspired by other things.
Penn Jillette
In my run-ins with Christians... I find that they really are good moral people. And we overlap on everything, and they don't seem to be the kind of people that are waiting to hear voices to tell them what to do.

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.

'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
Love and respect all people. Hate and destroy all faith.

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
Cheerios bring back memories. I actually don't think I ate them much as a kid, though maybe it's some sort of Jungian memory, I don't know. But they have so much sugar, it's great.
Penn Jillette
Before you can read, you know the difference between a story and reality. And, of course, by the time you're old enough to do any real damage with an Uzi, you've learned that difference.
