More quotes by Sean Penn
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
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.

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
I still think photographers should be lashed out at. They should be put in a cage where you can poke them with a stick for a quarter. But not in a hostile way, just for giggles. They really are on the attack against mankind it's a disease. They should be helped somewhere. But I'd still like to poke them with a stick.
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
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
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
Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time.
Sean Penn
If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
Sean Penn
The first instinct is love.
Sean Penn
If you don’t vote, you don’t matter.
Sean Penn
Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
Sean Penn
I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.
Sean Penn
I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.
