Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.
Sean Penn

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
Sean Penn

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine
Sean Penn
Image
The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.
Sean Penn
Image
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.

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.

The first instinct is love.

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.

That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
Sean Penn
Image
On a movie, it's always better to stay invisible as much as you can to keep things calm. I like to whisper to my cameraman, I like to whisper to my actors, and whoever else I've gotten to whisper to.
Sean Penn
Image
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
Image
I'd do anything to get a performance, short of malice.
Sean Penn
Image
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
Sean Penn
Image
Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
Sean Penn
Image
There is no re-inventing the wheel.
Sean Penn
Image
Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.
Sean Penn
Image
Bukowski said, I know I'm good, so I like that people think I'm bad, because it gives me a dimension, effortlessly.
Sean Penn
Image
When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter. I like being able to pick the family I'm waking up to in the morning that's going to make this group effort to tell a story that applies to what's interesting to me at that stage in my life.
Sean Penn
Image
You tolerate me. You really tolerate me!

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.
