Quotes by Penn Jillette

Channeling is just bad ventriloquism. You use another voice, but people can see your lips moving.
My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.
in a Compuserve chat

But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Interview in WIRED magazine, 1993
Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have.
NPR interview
