More quotes by Sean Penn

I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.
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.

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.

The first instinct is love.

I'd do anything to get a performance, short of malice.

Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.

Image
Bukowski said, I know I'm good, so I like that people think I'm bad, because it gives me a dimension, effortlessly.

There is no re-inventing the wheel.

I have a regret that the entire discussion [with El Chapo]... ignores its purpose, which was to try to contribute to this discussion about the policy in the War on Drugs.

Putting something in a movie because it's in the news doesn't make it political to me. If you're not going outside the same old, same old, if you're not pushing the envelope, then you're not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing.
Sean Penn
Image
I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
Sean Penn
Image
I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.
Sean Penn
Image
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
Sean Penn
Image
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
Sean Penn
Image
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
Image
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
Sean Penn
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

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.
