Quote

The best way to fight the terrorists is to have the freest country on earth. You should be able to get on an airplane, and people - that will not possibly happen again.

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.

Even if I disagree with Obama on many, many things, he is certainly qualified to be president. He is certainly competent to be president.

I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.

I think one of the things about Donald Trump that's interesting is he lives in a rarified atmosphere where it's possible that he doesn't get enough feedback, enough people rolling their eyes at him. It's a danger more in show business than it is with wealth.

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.

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

I have more contact with people who consume, for lack of a better word, my product than any other performers.

No one can tell you the rules of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' No one. Donald Trump just does what he wants, which is mostly pontificating to people who are sucking up to him, while the network people try to manipulate him into making the highest-rated show they can.

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

If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.

I'm not bothered by the idea of getting old, or I guess you could say by having arrived at old. I was 10 when my mom turned 55. For 1955, she was a very old mom.

Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.

I think that I am willing to risk my life in order to have more freedom.

I like to read in the dark. I like to go into the bathtub, turn out all the lights, and in the dark, read my books.

In my private life, I'm not around any drugs or alcohol.

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.

In reality, many people let go of religion later in life.

You have two choices with Obama. You either believe that he is a man of Christ... or you think he's a liar. And I'm surprised by the number of atheist free thinkers that support Obama, and their argument is essentially, 'He's lying about being religious 'cause you have to do that to get elected.' It's a horrible reason to like somebody.
