Peter Coyote interviews Sean Penn (2004)

[bluehorse888]

Thats great he's speaking out against Murdoch's media empire. it trully is a monopoly on public opinion...a massive court of public opinion with only one basketball hoop.

[analsculpture]

A decent and patriotic American.Congratulations,Mr.Pe­nn.

[prisoner49669]

Who drinks Whikey from a cup?? Sean Penn does!!!

[MuslimAgenda]

As usual this self serving dumbass calls his fun "work"

[montrose1973]

he's a great actor at least

[silviejackson]

pure intelligence

[silviejackson]

he's an amazing man.

[seau2007]

Great actors both. I know Peter and have met Sean. Truly upstanding people and not hard liners left or right. They are just into giving the straight stuff.

[unquebecoiserrant]

I believe that intelligence is sensibility, and think Sean Penn has it!

[JRHartly1984]

Wait a minute, why the hell is Peter Coyote conducting an interview at all, isn't he an actor by occupation?

[lovejen01]

talented actor yes, intelligent no.

[DangerousBastard]

To anybody who thinks compassion, dissent and free-thinking are unpatriotic, I ask you this: what is the object of your patriotism? How would you define it? What are the specific values that you feel are threatened when people question authority and speak out against unnecessary suffering? What is the purpose of the hardening of your heart? And why do you trust politicians with agendas over artists, whose very occupation has historically dealt in truth?

[EZ4089]

Penn is an artsy wanna be asshole. He should get an ass whiiping! what a faggot!

[nyonxi9]

What is it with celebrities, All they do is diss America Im so fucking sick of it.. When actors become rich and famous all os a sudden its "Hands Across America" they want us all to start sharing and spread love across the world. Just as long as they don't ever have to wait in line like the rest of us - Fuck Sean Penn

[warriorprince1010]

There are no millionaire actors in communist countries. Penn has no respect for the capitalist economy that has given him and his family an amazing lifestyle most people in the world could only dream of.

[itzahazylife]

@warriorprince1010

so, because the capitalist sytem has benefited him, he should turn his cheek to all the flaws concerning america?..u need to wake up. u can't remain complacent concerning americas flaws out of the appreciation of its benefits..americans must always remain cynical and critical of our flaws. and while there are those people who do just that, it doesn't mean they aren't appreciative for the great benefits america provides.

[warriorprince1010]

America has flaws as all countries do. Sean Penn meets Castro and Chavez, these men offer nothing new and no solutions. I often disagree with the UK, EU or the USA, but I also am no fool as to think these despot leaders that create poverty in their own countries are any better. I would rather live in flawed capitalist countries like the EU and USA than Cuba or Venezuela.

[itzahazylife]

@nyonxi9

you're a jackass..the only way to be a true american is to hate our nations flaws and to make those flaws a personal issue. once they become an issue, they can maybe one day be fixed..it's u complacent "patriotic" sheep who are unaware you're even being unamerican..waving your flag everywhere afraid to bitch about the major problems with america. people like penn bitch out of love. they bitch because they care about the mistakes our country makes.

[warriorprince1010]

I agree. I have been to Russia and seen the povert there of average people. The USA is flawed but much much better than Russia or Cuba.

[itzahazylife]

@warriorprince1010

he's not saying they are better, he's saying that they aren't what our media portrays them as.

[warriorprince1010]

He is saying they are not evil and thus supporting their evil domination of their people.

[itzahazylife]

@warriorprince1010

he's not saying they aren't evil..everyone has evil in them. he's saying that they aren't as evil as our government portrays them as.

[warriorprince1010]

They are as evil as people say, their own people say it.

[kliff215]

they aren't 'dissing america'. they are dissing corruption, greed and unchecked power. celebrities like chuck norris, ted nugent and such are traitors to goodness and intelligence and humanity.

[mi55monroe]

One of the few who really sees the truth and is strong enough to try to fight back...

[jun7per]

Sean knew what we know now about the illegal war which has ruined America forcing us into a major recession. ...the money has run out because of billions spent on a war for greedy oil.

Sean is a visionary actor and director. Hes honest and focused.

[flohjackson]

fuck you guys...Sean Penn is awesome. Someone has to speak out .

[giottol17]

Those guys are fags! Hey, where did you get that jacket? ( in Spicoli voice)

[djboyle4]

Sean Penn is, in fact, a CIA agent. When he went to Iraq he carried a clandestine homing device placed in is anus. His mission was to try to meet with Sadat Hussein and sacredly deposit the device under the guise of taking a bowel movement. It would happen this way. Following dinner, he would excuse himself for a rest room visit. There, he would pluck the homing devise from his anus and leave it for a cruise missile attack.

[idontbakenocookies]

Now he`s ucking Chavez`s cock in Ven.

[yankeecandleboy]

Actors should act and let the politicians do their damn jobs. Typical democratic tree hugging hippie. But he is a great actor.

[bkury64]

this guy takes everything from this country, has a job makes good money. then he turns out to be as close to a traitor that there is. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[leonheartmm]

two beautiful men.

[FrankIeroiscute]

I wish I could see an interview with Sean Penn where he talks about dead man walking

[jazzyfayy1983]

hes a wife beater yeah he beat madonna when they was married and assaulted other people in the past and people speak so highly of him and think hes so great everybody talk so bad about chris brown like he killed somebody

[brandohhhh]

chris brown is no where near sean penn, chris is just a stupid kid. sean penn, is rad man!

[FrankIeroiscute]

yeah he's a total dick head

[VerySweetAss]

This is no longer our country! Haven't we figured that out yet? We are Loose Change!!!!

[randallsellis]

Peter Coyote's autobiography, "Sleeping Where I Fall", is a great book and well worth reading.

[randallsellis]

Excellent interview. Thank you for posting it.

[pablocoon]

Sean penn is a tool.

[gr8jackpot]

Sad . I wish all Americans looked at our world in a better way.

[Mattonater3000]

He has no sense of humour tho, i know it it appropriate for this vid, but in general he cant take a joke

[Ullbritt]

Thx for the vid. Sean Penn is one of the few actors with a big heart, big brain and big balls!

[disneyfunny]

I didn't know he smoked.  But I love him all the same.

[yalien4life]

sean penn is such a great actor

[travpoet]

Great interview. Sean Penn is so intelligent.
