Awards Quote by Meg Cabot
“And I'm going to tell the truth: I didn't like that Sean Penn movie Into the Wild so much. Yes! I know it was critically acclaimed. I know it won all these awards! It's very sad that a boy is dead and all. But I thought the movie Enchanted, with the singing princess and the chipmunk and the people dancing in Central Park, was cuter. So there!”

![“When I did Sean Penn’s movie, I think I was living in, like, a $500-a-month room, and someone called me up or bumped into me and asked me if I’d come up to work for a day. That sort of got me going a little bit. But it wasn’t until Sin City [2005] that I kind of got back into the game.” quote by Mickey Rourke](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a14/mickey-rourke-4846_bits_when-i-did-sean-penn-s-movie-i-think-i-w_2611764.jpg)
