I was the first studio executive to meet with Sean Penn after 'Taps' in 1981. I was anxious to develop things with him when nobody knew who he was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm still Sean that me mates went to school with, not Sean the film star. And that's the way I prefer to be.
I really liked working with Sean Paul; he is a very attractive guy, very hot. He was fun; the chemistry was really great, it was great to be in the moment.
People still remember Sean Penn as Spicoli from 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High,' and if I can have, like, one-10th of his career, then I'm fine.
I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's.
I went to a rare live Van Dyke show and met him there. And then he came to a show of mine and we spoke back stage. The third time was at Brian Wilson's birthday party.
Even though I wanted to be John Malkovich or Sean Penn when I was a kid, mostly I was a music nerd.
I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He's a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level.
I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.
I have no desire to ever talk to Sean Penn.
I was never a part of the Actor's Studio, because two friends of mine started it in 1947 and by that time I'd gone to California.
