More quotes by Sean Penn
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
Sean Penn
There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.
Sean Penn
When everything gets answered, it's fake.
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
When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I'm ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I've figured it out for myself.
Sean Penn
Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.
Sean Penn
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
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 really love to make movies.
Sean Penn
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
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?' 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.
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
Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.
Sean Penn
The first instinct is love.
Sean Penn
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
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
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
If you don’t vote, you don’t matter.
Sean Penn
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
