Sean Penn defended his controversial interview with the drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman by calling himself an “experimental journalist” and revealed his one “terrible regret,” according to CBS.

In a preview of an interview taped for this Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” Penn told Charlie Rose that his “simple idea” was to “begin a conversation about the policy of the war on drugs.”

“We’re going to put all our focus – forget about blame – we’re going to put all our focus, all our energy, all our billions of dollars on the ‘bad guy,’ and what happens? You get another death the next day the same way,” Penn said.

However, Penn also said he has one “terrible regret” about his clandestine meeting with the cartel leader.

“Let me be clear: My article has failed,” Penn said.
