“People have said to me, ‘Hey, man, that was so cool, that was so fun to watch. That was so cool to be a part of and support and all that energy, and you know, we stuck it to the man. My thought behind that is, ‘Oh, yeah, great. I’m so glad I traded early retirement for a f**king hashtag.”
Charlie Sheen continued,
“There were 55 other ways to handle that situation, and I chose number 56. And so, you know, I think the growth for me post-meltdown or melt forward or melt somewhere — however you want to label it — it has to start with absolute ownership of my role in all of it,” he said. “And it was desperately juvenile.”

“I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. If you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off, and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
