Famous quotes by Penn Jillette:

"It's a business partnership. And I think we do better stuff together than we do separately. It's very easy ? we have the same values and morality. ... I think the nice thing is we care about the show more than we care about each other."

"It's an idea we'd had for 15 years. But the technology did not catch up with us until the last couple of years, when we could have enough cameras safely enough underwater that it would look as great as we thought it would."

"And I said, `Isn't it sad that's the only way he can think of?' ... And the second I said it, I'm going, `Oh, God.'"

"Working in television, you really need a composer who can work in many styles especially when you're working in comedy. Stockdale can do anything."

"And we realized it was time to do a show underwater. Magic needs a good head-soaking."

"Five years ago, I was in New York, and I saw Elvis Costello and I said, 'I look forward to seeing you in Vegas,"

"It's really not good, ... I mean, when I talked to Siegfried last night, he said, you know, it was going to be OK. You have no idea what that means. It means a friend that he's loved dearly and worked with for 28 years -- his heart's still beating, and there's still hope."

"You donate blood, you save a life and you get to see our stupid show,"

"In the '60s, you know, you had this -- you'd have, you know, James Brown on the same show with Alan King, and that was -- that made perfect sense, and it still makes perfect sense,"

"You have networks for people who bass fish, and another for people who trout fish."

"One of the things that Teller and I are obsessed with, one of the reasons that we're in magic, is the difference between fantasy and reality."

"It wasn't success, because Teller and I, by the time Asparagus Valley got together - within a year, we had achieved all our goals. I mean, our goal was to earn our living doing exactly what we wanted. Which is many people's goal."

"The skills that we have are the actual magic skills - not the performing skills. We have to separate those. But the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don't get to use again."

"Every nut who kills people has a Bible lying around. If you're looking for violent rape imagery, the Bible's right there in your hotel room. If you just want to look up ways to screw people up, there it is, and you're justified because God told you to."

"When you're watching Psycho, there' s that moment when you have a visceral reaction to watching someone being stabbed. And then you have the intellectual revelation that you're not, and that's where the celebration comes in."

"Whereas you have someone like Houdini, who works really, really hard to get really, really famous, and then has actual intellectual ideas that he puts into the culture that stay there."

"The only place we were really told to tone it down - where other people would use the word censorship, but I wouldn't - was when we did MTV right after the Beavis and Butt-head thing."

"But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen."

"I'm a hardcore libertarian - I want everything legal - but I also believe that you have the right to free association."

"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."
