More quotes by Sean Penn
My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.
Sean Penn
One of the reasons people sell out so quickly is because even the talented think they're frauds. It's a culture that doesn't encourage people to believe in the work they do. You're told to second-guess yourself all the time. That's where I think a little hostility and arrogance can save you. And I've never been lacking for either.
Sean Penn
Jon Krakauer had documented it very accurately and very well but this kid made a real impression on people, and likewise they on him. To talk to them was very moving in many cases because they talk about him like they saw him yesterday. In most cases they knew this kid for a couple of weeks in their whole life and he just lasted with them.
Sean Penn
I'd do anything to get a performance, short of malice.
Sean Penn
It's a foreground of my feeling. That place moves me. And I don't mean my country it's part of our shared natural world that happens to be particular to a sense of wherever my storytelling inclinations come from and my own history of kind of being a road rat and travelling.
Sean Penn
The first instinct is love.
Sean Penn
It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama.
Sean Penn
I still think photographers should be lashed out at. They should be put in a cage where you can poke them with a stick for a quarter. But not in a hostile way, just for giggles. They really are on the attack against mankind it's a disease. They should be helped somewhere. But I'd still like to poke them with a stick.
Sean Penn
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
Sean Penn
The advice you give to young directors for sure is to go out and become some version of a successful movie actor. Do that first and say yes to people like Terrence Malick and Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen when they come and offer you movies. It's a great front row seat to filmmaking.
Sean Penn
I think that people like the Howard Sterns, the Bill O'Reillys and to a lesser degree the bin Ladens of the world are making a horrible contribution.
Sean Penn
You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.
Sean Penn
A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry Malick himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.
Sean Penn
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
Sean Penn
I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.
Sean Penn
That was madness. You're never going to bring one of those down with a handgun.
Sean Penn
On a movie, it's always better to stay invisible as much as you can to keep things calm. I like to whisper to my cameraman, I like to whisper to my actors, and whoever else I've gotten to whisper to.
Sean Penn
I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.
Sean Penn
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
Sean Penn
I don't see myself as a different guy than I was ten years ago. I don't have aspirations to be. It's really about where you're putting your energies. That's changing a lot.
Sean Penn
