More quotes by 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
Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.
Sean Penn
There is no re-inventing the wheel.
Sean Penn
As a foreign worker in Haiti, speaking for myself, speaking for the workers, our organization is about 95 percent Haitian, but even foreign workers driving through, we have had very minimal security issues.
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 like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
Sean Penn
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
Sean Penn
I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.

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.
Sean Penn
I'm not going to recommend recklessness but somewhere just short of it - testing yourself and proactively pursuing a rite of passage has become necessary because in western developed countries we've become very comfort-addicted.
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
Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.
Sean Penn
Haiti, like any place, has its security problems it has a great challenge in terms of establishing a kind of globally acceptable rule of law.
Sean Penn
A clearer and more conventional narrative would have helped the film without, in my opinion, lessening its beauty and its impact. Frankly, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing there and what I was supposed to add in that context! What's more, Terry Malick himself never managed to explain it to me clearly.
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
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
I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.
Sean Penn
Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.
Sean Penn
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?

Bukowski said, I know I'm good, so I like that people think I'm bad, because it gives me a dimension, effortlessly.
