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.

Religion is often just tribalism: pride in a group one was born into, a group that is often believed to have 'God' on its side.

Trying to conceal the fact that I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with a serious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hide Dolly Parton in a string bikini!

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.
