That was madness. You're never going to bring one of those down with a handgun.

When everything gets answered, it's fake.

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.

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.

The thing that's very close in the process is writing and acting, not directing. Directing's very different.

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.

On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
Sean Penn
Image
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.

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.

If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
Sean Penn

Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.
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.

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

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