Sean Penn Interview

Oprah Talks to Sean Penn

Source: oprah.com

Oprah: You have a reputation for being antipress. Are you?

Sean: Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They’re all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.

Oprah: Do you have your own set of rules about what roles you’ll take?

Sean: I choose movies that I think will speak to what’s important. I was getting ready to make a movie when 9/11 happened. I decided to get out of it. If I have any rule, it’s that if you’re talking about yesterday, it should somehow relate to an understanding of today and tomorrow.

Oprah: Why did you make I Am Sam [a movie about a mentally retarded man who teaches a lawyer about love and family]? That’s as close to heartwarming as you’ve come.

Sean: [Laughs.] That was an interesting challenge. Craft comes into acting later rather than sooner. I was somebody who had to learn through a process—a natural actor doesn’t need to.

Oprah: Who’s more natural than you are?

Sean: Some people just have it and others don’t. For me [the craft] was hard-earned. My mother came to the first play I did. She said, “Well, you were just awful. You’ve got to have something to fall back on.” She was dead right. But I got with a repertory company, and bit by bit I began to find out how to use whatever gifts I had. How many ways can you use yourself to tell a story that won’t be the same one that’ll bore the hell out of you?
