More quotes by Sean Penn
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
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 like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
Sean Penn
Bukowski said, I know I'm good, so I like that people think I'm bad, because it gives me a dimension, effortlessly.
Sean Penn
I had a house burn down once, and everything in life burned except my family, and it was so liberating. I didn't have a bad moment about it. It sort of reinvigorated my interest in a lot of things. I wonder if there should be some kind of anarchy.
Sean Penn
So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
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
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
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
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
My greatest interest in it was certainly not to avoid those things that were going to be controversial about the family but the interest I had in the story was predominantly what he was pursuing and not as much what he was fleeing.
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
There's the old notion that where there's choice, there's chaos, and where there's no choice, there's clarity. If you've got no choice, you've gotta be there, and you've gotta have your heart in it. It leads to a much less self-conscious life.
Sean Penn
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.
Sean Penn
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
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
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
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
Sean Penn
Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.
Sean Penn
I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
Sean Penn
