Sean Penn

I am a limousine liberal.

Hal Holbrook was in one of my first television movies when I was about 18 or 19. He'd made such a strong impression on me and a lasting one in terms of what being an actor was.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement.
