You tolerate me. You really tolerate me!

There is a kind of sense of truth and reconciliation that is non-formalized, but it's understood and accepted. Haitians are Haitians and there is an inherent loyalty that forgives an awful lot.
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.
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.

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
Image
I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone.
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
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
Sean Penn
Image
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.
Sean Penn
Image
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
Sean Penn

Fulfilling what you start is why you start something.

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