I live three blocks away from the beach, so every day I walk down to the beach to run or go swimming. Hiking is a big one for me – so long as it’s something where I’m not thinking about working out, like in a contrived class or the gym. – Dylan Penn
No matter where I’m going, I always have sunglasses, a book, and some gum in my carry-on. – Dylan Penn
I had already been approached to do modeling, but in the beginning, I didn’t want to hear of it. Then, after two months of delivering pizza, I changed my mind, and I presented myself at the agency. – Dylan Penn
Kids my age never left California. And here I was, going to school with Aboriginal kids in a dream-like location. – Dylan Penn
Modeling is not a passion of mine. I have been having fun with it, but it’s just to pay the bills. – Dylan Penn
I didn’t want to go to college, and my parents said, ‘Well, then you’d better get a job, because we’re not paying for you to drop out of school.’ So I delivered pizza near USC for a while. We had to wear khakis and a baseball hat with the logo on it, and I worked almost every day. – Dylan Penn
I wear sunscreen every single day – I just don’t go out of the house without it. I also try to get enough sleep, eat as healthy as I can and keep hydrated. I have very sensitive skin, and depending on what products are used on a shoot, my skin can break out in an instant. – Dylan Penn
When I was 14, in Cuba, I met Fidel Castro with my dad, and it was really impressive. And on a totally different level, I met Justin Timberlake! – Dylan Penn
It’s sad that because I have one friend who is in the public eye, just being seen out together once means we’re romantically involved. But I don’t take it seriously, and it doesn’t really affect me much. – Dylan Penn
I love telling stories; I always have, and I think women need to be more proactive about telling their own stories and sharing their points of view. – Dylan Penn
It’s funny because I’ve resisted acting as a career for most of my life. But both my parents told me if I ever want to direct, I should act first because no director should direct until they know what it’s like to be in the actor’s shoes. – Dylan Penn
My truest passion is writing, so I continue to do that on my own while seeing what all the buzz is about being in front of the camera. – Dylan Penn
I’m not a big fan of working out. Living in Los Angeles makes it much easier for me; I don’t ever have an excuse not to be outside. – Dylan Penn
I like doing the editorial stuff because it’s nice to do something that’s more me. But modeling for brands and the things to make money… I guess I don’t really like being the mannequin. It’s a very strange concept. – Dylan Penn
I think my parents love that I want to do something a little different than what they do. – Dylan Penn
My name is Dylan simply because my parents did not know before I was born if I would be a boy or a girl, and Dylan was a name that worked in both cases. – Dylan Penn
My dream dinner party guests would be Ethel Kennedy, Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson. – Dylan Penn
I don’t make a habit of watching my parents’ films, because it is a little strange. But I will say that I binge watch ‘House of Cards’ compulsively, and I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen one of my mom’s projects and totally forgot she was my mom! – Dylan Penn
I don’t deny that I had a very privileged upbringing, but my parents and that town maintained a sense of normalcy that I think many people find hard to achieve, and I am so grateful for that. – Dylan Penn
