A lot of people will say, “Oh, I got into acting because I wanted to explore my craft.” They’re a bunch of liars, unless they’re Sean Penn, DeNiro or my dad. For the rest of us it was all about chicks and money.
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?

Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.
Charlie Sheen has the potential to cause your soul to weep and forfeit.
Boom, crush. Night, losers. Winning, duh.
