Penn Jillette

I will not counter the insanity of the PATRIOT Act with an overblown fear of my rights being taken away.

I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that's the same color. I tend to overthink things.

The only secret of magic is that I'm willing to work harder on it than you think it's worth.

Being in a floodplain is like sitting down in a bathtub.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.
