Sense of self, and the way one shares it, is perhaps the most valuable and poetic gift in the arsenal of one's life and craft.
Sean Penn
Image
So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
Sean Penn
Image
It's a foreground of my feeling. That place moves me. And I don't mean my country it's part of our shared natural world that happens to be particular to a sense of wherever my storytelling inclinations come from and my own history of kind of being a road rat and travelling.
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
I really love to make movies.
Sean Penn
Image
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
Sean Penn

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

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.
