More quotes by Sean Penn
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
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 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.
Sean Penn
I'd do anything to get a performance, short of malice.
Sean Penn
My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.
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
I really love to make movies.
Sean Penn
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
Sean Penn
Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.
Sean Penn
Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.
Sean Penn
I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone.
Sean Penn
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
Sean Penn
If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
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
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
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
Sean Penn
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
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.
Sean Penn
I don't read newspapers too much , just because they tend to make me feel I have a political obligation that I think is a distraction from what my political offerings are going to be if I just make my movies.
Sean Penn
