All the guys who criticize it would have done the same thing but probably would have died because they don't have the constitution I was cursed with.
As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what?
Being on Spin City is a win-win situation for me. If the show doesn't work, they can't say I didn't take a shot. I can say the show lost its primary component, America's favorite dude.
Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business.
Dad kept us out of school, but school comes and goes. Family is forever.
Dad's time was always strained or in demand. My mom has been the anchor of the whole group. A very smart, strong, sincere, compassionate lady as we traveled the world, living in hotel rooms and watching Dad make movies.
Do a little research on Building Seven. Building Seven lives at the epicenter of my entire debate. Prove yourself worthy of genuine investigative journalism. Look at the video evidence.
Fame is empowering. My mistake was that I thought I would instinctively know how to handle it. But there's no manual, no training course.
From when I was 10 to about 16 I saw other people satisfy those appetites, and I wanted to be not just along for their ride but driving the car.
I always made friends with the guy who ran the club, because then you could stay after hours and drink. Then there was always a party that went to somebody's house in town afterward.
I dare you to print this email in it's entirety.
I don't need a leather diaper collection and a lot of fantasies to get sexual. I think the more props you need, the less you've got going on with your own sexuality.
I got tired of feeling like a separatist or an elitist. I wanted to be in a dressing room next to the other actors, in the mix right there on the stage.
I guess I just wanted to be accepted, liked, loved. I wanted respect.
I guess one of the perks of being President is that you get access to TV channels that don't exist in the known universe.
I had plans the day I got off probation, to go to Amsterdam and go on a whole run. I wanted to control the disease again.
I heard recently in Jay Leno's monologue that I call myself the Machine. I've never called myself the Machine. It was a nickname my friends gave me in the old days because when they were all ready to go home I was always the last guy standing, insisting that the party continue.
I just didn't believe I was like everybody else. I thought I was unique.
I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future.
I knew if I got loaded I was going away for a while. People would say, Oh, you're just sober because you're on probation.
I remember thinking and feeling and believing that I was not able to stop, that I genuinely was incapable of putting an end to this.
I saw 28 Days. I don't remember rehab being like a day camp or being that funny. Rehab is a dumping ground. It's a big landfill.
I so desperately wanted to be Mr. Somebody. Instead, I was the little brother, included to a point.
I still don't have all the answers. I'm more interested in what I can do next than what I did last.
I think I have a duty as a recovering guy to help, to make my knowledge of what I went through accessible.
I think what drove me insane for a long time is feeling like I hadn't earned most of what I achieved because it came so fast.
I try to be known more for my work than for anything else.
I want to set the record straight. That interviewer baited me, and I should have seen it coming.
I was never shut down by the drugs; that was my problem. Cocaine was an aphrodisiac. I think that was a bit of a curse.
I was watching the news and the north tower was burning. I saw the south tower hit live. There was a feeling, it just didn't look like any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life.
I was with one at a time with the other four watching. It was a little uncomfortable, actually. I wouldn't recommend five at once. There's just not enough guy to go around.
I'd like to be with somebody I care about. Something moderately substantial.
I'm not going to drink. It's the same thing with one-night stands. I appreciate my time in the mornings so much that I'd rather go to bed at night alone than deal with waking up, creeping around the bedroom, being quiet, worrying.
I'm talking about it because some kid who's struggling with his own addictions might read an interview I've given, looking for something inspirational or truthful.
I've always been pretty old-fashioned. I'm kind of a missionary guy.
I've finally gotten to know myself a little bit. I know who I'm bringing to the relationship. Until now I've never had the tools to apply in a meaningful relationship.
I've got volumes on how not to behave. I've got more information now than a guy should have at my age.
I've never attempted to figure that out, but if you want me to take a wild guess, I'll say he's slept with 5,000 women.
If any portion, or portions of this text is any way deleted or manipulated, you will only confirm what myself and countless others have suspected all along: Media complicity with no interest in the truth.
If there is nothing to hide, why are they hiding it?
If there's a problem with building 7 then there's a problem with the whole thing.
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.
It feels like, from the people I talk to in and around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning.
It is up to us to reveal the truth because we owe it to the families, we owe it to the victims. We owe it to everybody's life who was drastically altered, horrifically, that day and forever.
It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions.
It seems to me that upon the revelation of that news that the Secret Service would grab the President as if he was on fire and remove him from that room.
It's about the box office and the reviews and the premieres and the premiere parties and the nonsense. It's confusing.
Just show us how this particular plane pulled off these maneuvers. 270-degree turn at 500 miles an hour descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes, skimming across treetops the last 500 meters.
Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.
Oh, that. I just do that for the extra money, and to satisfy my male need to kill and win.
Right now I'm kind of in love with my job.
Say what you must about me - it means nothing.
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.
September 11 wasn't the Zapruder film, it was the Zapruder film festival, headed by some neutral investigative committee. What if we used experts that don't have any ties whatsoever to this administration?
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.
Some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor, you don't really put those strategies together overnight, do you, for a major invasion? Those are really well calculated and really well planned.
Sure, I did a lot of things in excess. But if you look at the core, the foundation of what I pursued, what red-blooded young American male in my position wouldn't?
That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
The mere fact that you did a cut and paste job of the slanderous and idiotic Marine Hyde London Journal piece, speaks volumes about your credibility as a major media entity.
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.
The paramedic called the press and sold me like a loaf of bread. This was news, and he wanted to be the one to report it.
The term pull is as common to the demolition world as action and cut are to the movie world.
There have to be more important things going on in the world than my past.
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.
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.
There's a big jealousy factor, so you don't know what advice to listen to. You don't know if people are trying to sabotage you or if they genuinely want you to consider your options.
These days, thankfully, the downs aren't as low as they used to be and the ups are pretty groovy.
This is not you or I watching the videos and speculating on what we saw, these are gentlemen inside the buildings at the very point of collapse.
This is the only disease that wants to keep you looking good while you're killing yourself. All I can do today is lead by example and remember that I'm powerless over how people perceive me.
Uncertainty is a sign of humility, and humility is just the ability or the willingness to learn.
Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting.
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.
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.
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.
When friends asked me, Can we help? I'd say, Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.
When the buildings came down later on that day, I said to my brother, Call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?
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.
