I've always wanted to make the world a more rational place. I'm still working on it.
My hair is way, way long. I've hitchhiked across the country a zillion times. I've ridden in every car. I was never a hippie. It takes more than long hair.
My tolerance for crazy people is, I think, high a tolerance as you're ever going to find. I love being around David Allen Coe. I would have loved to hang out with Tiny Tim. I can listen to Sun Ra on a tape-recording rant.
Magic is the Special Olympics of entertainment.
No one can tell you the rules of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' No one. Donald Trump just does what he wants, which is mostly pontificating to people who are sucking up to him, while the network people try to manipulate him into making the highest-rated show they can.

I'm a hardcore libertarian - I want everything legal - but I also believe that you have the right to free association.
Poker would have never gotten on TV when we only had three networks.
It's only the losers named Dave that think having an unusual name is bad, and who cares what they think. They're named Dave.
It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.
In reality, many people let go of religion later in life.
In my private life, I'm not around any drugs or alcohol.
If you want to turn out an atheist child, unconditional love constantly is a good way to do it.

If there are two things Penn & Teller stand for, it's the truth & lying, although not necessarily in that order.
My parents were teetotalers and my grandparents were - it's all the way back. It's New English puritanical tradition.
My whole family is missing that sports gene. I hope I didn't screw that up by marrying a great golfer.
