Sean Penn's quotes

[Discussing Oliver Stone] I think that his basic pig nature keeps him from doing the best of what he ought to do. And it keeps him from being someone I want to run into.
Hollywood is much more creatively corrupt than it is economically [corrupt]. It takes $1 for them to kill their dreams. Their dreams are worth more than $1.
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.
I can never get ahead of the game because of the movies I do.
I was brought up in a country that relished fear-based religion, corrupt government and an entire white population living on stolen property that they murdered for and that is passed on from generation to generation.
The major studios are by and large banks and they give you what is by and large a loan to make a movie. Like banks, they want their money back plus.
E.L. Doctorow had a quote I've used a lot of times, that the responsibility of the artist is to know the time in which he lives.
Your life is what you bring to any story. This is a life craft. It's "How do you feel? Who are you? What do you have to say?"
I don't consider myself specifically political, you know? I think of working as an actor as being a human thing. The concerns I have that fall into politics are human concerns.
The bigger issue is that it's an absolutely stupid notion that you should take the title of someone's profession and attach it to what they should not do. It has nothing to do with citizenry.
If the primary statement of the film is that if you have good abs it's OK to kill people, I pass.
[1999] Nic Cage [Nicolas Cage] is no longer an actor. He's more like a performer.
I became an actor because of Robert De Niro.
With the Academy Awards, if you're standing there and looking out, you're not going to see many people who can find their butt with their hand.
[on Clint Eastwood] He's one of the few legends who isn't a disappointment.
[2008, on his love of road trips] I've been a road-rat since I got my drivers license at 16, so I've probably gone across America 20 times.
Let's face it. I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone.
(On Daniel Day-Lewis): He may very well be the greatest actor ever recorded to the screen.
Voting for Donald Trump is the equivalent of masturbating your way into hell while supporting a guy who looks like a blonde magician.
The girl I fell in love with was going into a movie theater in the dark with strangers and seeing something that might last forever, and now there is so much content, I can't keep track of it and nothing seems special.
Most movies are shit. [2018]
You bring up Frances McDormand. What do you do to be more beautiful than that? That fucking woman walks into a room and you don't know if you want to kiss her, eat her farts or bite her toes off, you just want to be around that energy. [2018]
I feel more at ease with the world the older I get, despite the fact that the world itself is becoming increasingly challenging.
[on Donald Trump, 2018] The indignity of his own flamboyance and minor brain is cheapening the air we breathe.
I find myself mourning all the time.
