Penn Jillette Quotes

Every nut who kills people has a Bible lying around. If youre looking for violent rape imagery, the Bibles right there in your hotel room. If you just want to look up ways to screw people up, there it is, and youre justified because God told you to. - Penn Jillette Quotes
I dont travel in circles where people say, I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith. Thats just a long-winded religious way to say, Shut up. - Penn Jillette Quotes
I would always prefer - and this is something Ill never be given, its just not practical - but I would always prefer to not have alcohol around. - Penn Jillette Quotes

Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone elses vision. - Penn Jillette Quotes
Teller and I worked Renaissance Festivals and street performing - actually more real, no kidding around, Philadelphia street performing than we did Renaissance Festivals. - Penn Jillette Quotes
