With the exception of supplementary nutrition for children that need it or in the school there is no organizations doing food distributions here now. It’s been self-sufficient at this point. They are making what money they are making any way that they can and buying their own food.

O Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Penn speaks about his new film The Assassination of Richard Nixon in an interview for O Magazine.

It’s just good luck that the movie speaks to what’s current. In some respects, you could call it bad luck. I was working on this for several years before 9/11. At the time, I thought, “The guy who wrote this wants me to do it and he should have what he wants because he’s up to something important.” I came to regret it because it was the most miserable shoot ever. (Laughs) You saw the movie. There’s not a lot of time spent with dancing girls.
