Quotes
- Charlie: (on if he and his wife Brooke Mueller want kids) Yes, definitely. That's the plan. Honestly, though, I wouldn't know what to do with a boy. I have three daughters, so I've got the girl thing down!
- Charlie: (about second wife Denise Richards) I'm so tired of talking about her and all her shenanigans. It is what it is. I don't even care anymore. I'm going to take a stand to basically never utter her name publicly again. I think that if that's known, it will put an end to some of the drama. It's pretty obvious that my wife Brooke [Mueller] and I, through our actions and our union, have moved on with our lives. Perhaps somebody else should consider doing the same thing.
- Charlie Sheen: (about third wife Brooke Mueller) I feel like this is the first real marriage I have had. The first one was a show, the second one was a con, and this is the real deal.
- Charlie: (about his ex-wife Denise Richards trying to cut off his visitation rights with their daughters) This is the craziest example of a bitter ex. There is nothing these children need protection from in my care. If they need protection from an overly loving father and a capable future stepmom [fiancee Brooke Mueller], then the world is upside down, and we're all going to hell.
- Charlie: (on his relationship with fiancee Brooke Mueller) We're open to the idea of having a baby of course. Any size family that shows up we'll be happy. We're thrilled right now. We wake up laughing and go to bed smiling and we're just blessed to have found each other.
- Charlie: In sobriety they teach you to think the drink through. Think through to the next morning, how it's going to influence you, the shame, how it's going to trigger the domino effect.
- Charlie: Sean Penn is the best actor of our generation, hands down. And he's only getting better and it pisses me off. He brings a reality to his work that's beyond what is required, and I think it takes the audience to another place.
- Charlie: Slash 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.
- Charlie: The most damage I did was to myself and to the people who got caught in the maelstrom. The worst thing that happened was the overdose. But I didn't go in with three other dudes who overdosed with me. No, you overdose alone.
- Charlie: There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse.
- Charlie: There was so much more despair and hopelessness for me at the end than there had been the other times I supposedly got clean. This last go-around was overwhelming.
- Charlie: These days, thankfully, the downs aren't as low as they used to be and the ups are pretty groovy.
- Charlie: We grow up with our fathers talking about walking to school in the snow, uphill both ways. We're raised to believe you've got to work hard for what you achieve. Then you work hard and suddenly you're not working as hard and you're achieving more. You start to wonder.
- Charlie: What is a normal childhood? We weren't rich, we were pretty middle-class. My dad survived from job to job; with him taking care of so many relatives, he couldn't save any money.
- Charlie: What you come to discover is, it isn't how you get there, it's that you get there. If that's what it took to get me where I'm at today, so be it.
- Charlie: When would the curtain be yanked back? One day I was a working actor, just trying to pursue something I enjoyed, and the next day I was a commodity.
