More quotes by Sean Penn
I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.
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?'

Sean Penn

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
Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time.
Sean Penn
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
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
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
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
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
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 like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
Sean Penn
