comedian magician wanted
I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.
art want entertainment
Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that's available.
people trying want
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.
christian want fundamentalist
I get along so much better with fundamentalist Christians than I do with wishy-washy liberals, who want everyone to get along.
world rational wanted
I've always wanted to make the world a more rational place. I'm still working on it.
thinking want facts
A famous monk once said, I don't always know what the right thing to do is, my Lord, but I think the fact that I want to please you pleases you.
believe want should
If there's something you really want to believe, that's what you should question the most.
sex want utopia
As I’m fond of saying, if you want to find utopia, take a sharp right on money and a sharp left on sex and it’s straight ahead.
believe honesty incredibly
In all honesty, I believe we're fair, and incredibly biased. These are two different things. On our show there are no ambushes.
dearly friend last loved means night talked worked
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.
cheesy intend penn teller until
I intend to do the Penn & Teller show until they pry my cheesy magic wand from my cold dead fingers.
life totally
I'm totally clean and sober my whole life.
business marriage straight though totally
I'm totally against straight marriage - even though I'm married. I don't think heterosexual marriage is any of the government's business.
uplifting words
It kind of makes me feel great, because words still have power, ... I just like how uplifting the idea is: Words are powerful.
