“I think the thing that kept me going, like many other artists, is this intangible of how do you explain to somebody who doesn’t do what we do for a living that you have to do it? You know, it’s that crazy part of you that makes you an artist,” Penn said Monday on “Banfield.”
The actor joined the show to discuss his new book called “You Can’t Be Serious,” which features stories from his life, including struggles in Hollywood.
