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've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

You don't ever really get to know Woody Allen.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
