Charlie Sheen has given some ridiculously funny quotes and a few that make you wonder if he was on something while he gave the quote. Unfortunately, for Sheen there is a slight possibility that he was, so we have ignored most of those quotes. There is just no reason to shove his face into the past dirt he has put out there. At least not to much, but some quotes you just can't resist the temptation on. Of course, we are only able to do this because he has so many interesting quotations and sayings to choose from. From working with Oliver Stone, to his box office busts to advice he got from Slash of Guns 'N' Roses here are his top ten quotes.
Charlie Sheen quote on women
"If I've learned anything at all, it's that I know nothing about women. They remain a mystery. But I've learned to stop trying to figure them out. There's no end to the journey, and that's what makes it so compelling."
On winning a Golden Globe award
"This is like a sober acid trip."
On filming Wall Street while battling alcoholism
"I'd begun drinking all the time. We shot in New York City, so I'd be out to the bars every night till 3 or 4 a.m., then try to show up for a 6 o'clock call to stand toe to toe with Michael Douglas and handle 50% of a scene. How could that work? Yet there I was, the guy that struck gold, looking around at dawn to find that the only one still partying was me. I'd be drinking away, doing blow, popping pills, and telling myself I wasn't an addict, because there wasn't a needle stuck in my arm. Talk about mixing up fantasy and reality! My true addiction was alcohol. The extra toxic boosters just helped me shore up the wall between my celebrity self and my real self. The questions I was running from were: 'Is this success all a fluke? Had I been fooling everybody so far? Will I get caught?' It was easy to get hammered and messed up. But in doing so, I buried my self-respect, I buried my self-esteem, I buried my creative drive, and I damned near buried myself."
Charlie Sheen On working with Oliver Stone
"If he's not getting something out of a performance, he'll come up and go, 'What are you, a faggot from Malibu? Were you playing too much f*cking volleyball on the beach growing up?' He once said that my reaction in a shot was comparable to a 'bad Mark Hamill moment.' I said, 'Oliver, I'll take that as a compliment. Star Wars was one of my favorite movies.'"
Fatherly advice
"My father gave me some pretty bad advice - keep it honest, which I did. People ask, why am I so honest with the press? I don't have an answer. I suppose I'm honest everywhere else. Why should it stop here? Most of my sh*t sounds like lies. But all my stories are true, and that's the problem. They call me the last honest man in Hollywood. But I care what people think, we all do."
On some of his box office busts
"I did that garbage film with my brother (Men at Work). That didn't work. I did an action movie Navy Seals (1990). That didn't work. I did a buddy cop picture (The Rookie, 1990) with Clint Eastwood. I figured that one was a shoo-in. It was an honor to work with Clint. I don't know what happened. I must have caught him one movie to early. Not to make excuses, but 600,000 of Clint's biggest fans were in the Persian Gulf fighting a war when The Rookie (1990) came out. That's a poor excuse for a flop, isn't it?"
Charlie Sheen On quitting drinking
"I was just tired - and sick and tired of being sick and tired, of living like a vampire."
Don't you hate when you wake up and...
"There is such a thing as too much fun. It gets redundant. How many times can you wake up and struggle to remember your name, her name and where you are?"
What means more to him than winning an Oscar
"I still want just one at-bat in the Major Leagues. Just one. I'll take it over an Oscar. Then, I'm in the Baseball Encyclopedia. Forever. Forever. Even if I strike or walk."
Advice from Slash
"One of my fondest memories is when Slash, from Guns N` Roses, sat me down at his house and said, 'You've got to clean up your act.' You know you've gone too far when Slash is saying, 'Look, you've got to get into rehab, you have to shut it down.'" |
