It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
Sean Penn

Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
Sean Penn
Image
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
Sean Penn

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.

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.

You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.

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.

When you get divorced, all the truths that come out, you sit there and go, 'What the f**k was I doing? What was I doing believing that this person was invested in this way?' Which is a fantastically strong humiliation in the best sense. It can make somebody very bitter and very hard and closed off, but I find it does the opposite to me.
Sean Penn

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

There is no re-inventing the wheel.
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.

There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.

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