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

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.
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.

When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter.

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.
Sean Penn
Image
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
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
Sean Penn

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

Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.
Sean Penn

Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.
Sean Penn
Image
I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.
Sean Penn
Image
Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
Sean Penn
Image
There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.
Sean Penn
Image
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
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.
