A Quote by Aidan Gillen

When I was a teenager, the actors I was really into were Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn. I saw 'Rumble Fish' on my 16th birthday, and around the same time, it was 'Falcon and the Snowman' and 'Bad Boys' from Sean Penn.

As a kid, as a young actor, I really wanted to pop. I wanted to create something different. I wanted to be Sean Penn, but I didn't have all the words to be Sean Penn. But I was trying to do something different in every role.

Matthew Lillard

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does. Sean is one of the few actors I know who can work like that, actually becoming the character he is playing, and get consistent results. I don't believe you can ever be someone else. You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.

Kiefer Sutherland

Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn to me are the two best actors of all time. I'm just glad to have the pleasure to be in an era that they're acting while I'm acting. They're probably the best actors in my mind.

Channing Tatum

Sean Penn's really the only one stupid enough to put anything down on paper.

Trey Parker

It`s always been the same for me. I`ve always enjoyed acting, and I really love good actors; they`re such unique characters. I wish I could tell stories well, or tell a joke. Any time someone can do that it`s so satisfying. Sean Penn, for instance, is a really good actor, and he can tell a good joke or story. But it`s hard to do. Most actors have special talents that make them attractive, but they`re often odd characters.

Val Kilmer

There's lots of incredible roles out there that I'd love to tackle, but there's a select group of actors I find myself gravitating towards, like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sean Penn or Daniel Day-Lewis - real transformational actors.

Derek Magyar

I have no desire to ever talk to Sean Penn.

Trey Parker

I'd love to work with Sean Penn or Kevin Spacey.

Devon Bostick

Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.

Boyd Holbrook

Sean Penn has never become the lighter, laughing guy.

Elvis Mitchell

I understand Sean Penn. He has every right to look for El Chapo.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

There's no way you ask Sean Penn a question and then, you're gonna be HUGE !

Louis C. K.

Sean Penn has announced his retirement from acting about 72 times.

James Gray

I don't speak for all Libertarians any more than Sean Penn speaks for all Democrats.

Penn Jillette

One year, I went to Cannes with the film 'The Indian Runner' that Sean Penn directed. Everyone else in the film was all the same height, and on the red carpet, when they were taking photos, none of them would stand next to me, and I totally got it.
