I really love to make movies.
Sean Penn
Image
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
Image
I'd do anything to get a performance, short of malice.
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
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
Sean Penn
Image
There is a kind of sense of truth and reconciliation that is non-formalized, but it's understood and accepted. Haitians are Haitians and there is an inherent loyalty that forgives an awful lot.
Sean Penn
Image
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.

The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.
Sean Penn
Image
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
Sean Penn
Image
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
Sean Penn
Image
I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
Sean Penn
Image
Venezuela and its revolution will endure under the proven leadership of Vice President Maduro.
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
Image
That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.
Sean Penn
Image
You tolerate me. You really tolerate me!
Sean Penn
Image
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
Image
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.
Sean Penn
Image
When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter. I like being able to pick the family I'm waking up to in the morning that's going to make this group effort to tell a story that applies to what's interesting to me at that stage in my life.

Image
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.

I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
