My greatest interest in it was certainly not to avoid those things that were going to be controversial about the family but the interest I had in the story was predominantly what he was pursuing and not as much what he was fleeing.

More quotes by Sean Penn
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine
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
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
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
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
Sean Penn
Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.
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
Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.
Sean Penn
I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
Sean Penn
I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.
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 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
If you don’t vote, you don’t matter.
Sean Penn
A SWAT team surrounded my house and came in every door. But it happened because on the day that we split up, Madonna developed a concern that if she were to return to the house, she would get a very severe haircut.
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.
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
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
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can't really be felt, truly, by one.
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 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
