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.

Sense of self, and the way one shares it, is perhaps the most valuable and poetic gift in the arsenal of one's life and craft.

You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.

Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.

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 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.

It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

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.

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.

Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.

I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.

There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.
Sean Penn
Image
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine

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

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.

I really love to make movies.

The advice you give to young directors for sure is to go out and become some version of a successful movie actor. Do that first and say yes to people like Terrence Malick and Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen when they come and offer you movies. It's a great front row seat to filmmaking.

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.
