Macaulay Culkin

“I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not.”

“I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.”

“Oh wow, you know what's wrong with all these families on TV? All these kids say stuff no kid would say. Stuff grown-ups want them to say. Man, I'd make a really realistic family. Where kids get spankings. On TV parents say, 'Oh, you shouldn't do that ever again. Now you can have ice cream.' Forget it.”

“I lead a simple life. I feed the fish. I walk the dogs. I cook dinner. Occasionally I take a meeting.”

“The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.”

“People do bad things in their lives. And those sort of things are forgivable. That's half the point of having confession in church - you need to be able to fess up to what you've done.”

“I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.”

“All the child-star cliches, I've tried very hard to avoid them all.”

“I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.”

“I enjoy my life. I think I have a very good life. And I think I'm very satisfied with the direction of my career and just my lifestyle and everything like that. So I wouldn't change a single thing.”

“It drives me crazy when your parents try to read your mind. It's even worse when they try to read your mail.”

“I get carded for soda, you know, when I go to the supermarket. I mean, they card me for everything. You know, I can't even get through a hand of black jack without getting carded, like, five times.”

“I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.”

“I remember sitting one time doing 100 interviews in a day, and they're all television interviews and they're kind of - and you just sit there and they bring these people in and out, and in out.”

“I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.”

“Michael Jackson and I talk all the time. I think we understand each other in a way that most people can't understand either of us.”

“If an alien race lands on the planet Earth tomorrow and asks me to prove I'm really here, what do I do? What do I give them? What do I tell them? What do I show them? I can't sing or dance. I can't paint. I've never built anything, and I've never contributed anything significant to the human race.”

“I'm not expecting the American literary community to welcome me with open arms. To them I'm just some schmuck kid who wrote some book.”

“Acting found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.”

“I had all the fame anyone could want, and I ran away from it.”
