More quotes by Sean Penn
I don't see myself as a different guy than I was ten years ago. I don't have aspirations to be. It's really about where you're putting your energies. That's changing a lot.
Sean Penn
If you can't count on your heart having some kind of unified response, you can't count on anything. You use your heart as a barometer for your movie's completeness.
Sean Penn
Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.
Sean Penn
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
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.

Sean Penn
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
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
Sean Penn
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
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.
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.
Sean Penn
On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.
Sean Penn
Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time.
Sean Penn
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
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
The greatest fear in my life was getting happy. I'm not so afraid of that anymore.
