More quotes by Sean Penn
When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I'm ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I've figured it out for myself.
Sean Penn
Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.
Sean Penn
The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.
Sean Penn
Sense of self, and the way one shares it, is perhaps the most valuable and poetic gift in the arsenal of one's life and craft.
Sean Penn
If you don’t vote, you don’t matter.
Sean Penn
If you can't count on your heart having some kind of unified response, you can't count on anything. You use your heart as a barometer for your movie's completeness.
Sean Penn
Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.
Sean Penn
You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.
Sean Penn
My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.
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
That was madness. You're never going to bring one of those down with a handgun.
Sean Penn
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
Sean Penn
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
Sean Penn
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
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
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
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
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
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
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.
