A Week of Rants: Top 10 Charlie Sheen Quotes

It’s the day after the almighty Oscars Awards and everyone is talking about … Charlie Sheen?!? As the highest-paid actor on TV in history, he’s ignited a feud with the creator of his show by launching into a series of verbal tirades as production was shut down on Two and a Half Men.

While many are debating his sobriety — and sanity — according to Charlie, he’s made of win! In the wake of his show being pulled, he’s done a string of radio, TV and internet interviews that have gotten progressively more heated, even manic, resulting in some uproarious quotes from a man on a quite a roll.

Here are just some of the gems he’s released over the past week:

1. “I got magic and I’ve got poetry in my fingertips, you know, most of the time, and this includes naps. I’m an F-18, bro.”
2. “Clearly I have defeated this earthworm [show creator Chuck Lorrie] with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”
3. “I’m tired–I’m so tired of pretending like my life isn’t perfect and bitching and winning every second and I’m not perfect and bitchin’ and just delivering the goods at every freakin’ turn.”
4. “You have the right to kill me, but you do not have the right to judge me. Boom. That’s the whole movie. That’s life.”
5. “Winning!”
6. “I think people mistake my passion for anger.”
7. “Rock bottom; that’s a fishing term.”
8. “I am battle-tested bayonets, bro.”
9. “I am on a drug, it’s called Charlie Sheen.”
10. “If you’re a part of my family, I will love you violently.”

TMZ reports that as a result of their interview with Charlie just this morning, his long-time publicist quit. He will also appear on tonight’s ABC News, which is likely to result in many more memorable quotes.

Children Who Won Oscars!

Anna Paquin

When it comes to mature actors we can expect them to get a nomination for their roles. But when it comes to children, they are less expected to be nominated or to win an Oscar because they are not experimented enough. Despite that, a few child-actors have won Oscars:

• Shirley Temple in 1934, she was 6-year-old (she received a non-competitive, honorary Oscar as well as Deanne Durbin and Mickey Rooney in 1938, Judy Garland in 1939 and Margaret O’Brien in 1944, along with 7 others in the following 16 years)

• Patty Duke, for ‘The Miracle Worker’, in 1962, she was 16-year-old.

• Tatum O’Neal, for ‘Paper Moon’, in 1973, she was 10-year-old.

• Anna Paquin, for ‘The Piano’, in 1994, she was 11-year-old.

It’s probably overweliming to be nominated to the Oscars as a child. To be where the grwon-ups are and to compete with them is a huge challange. Here there are a few children who were nominated, but didn’t win an Oscar:

• Patty McCormack, for ‘The Bad Seed’ in 1956;
• Mary Badham, for ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ in 1962;
• Jodie Foster, for  ‘Taxi Driver’ in 1976;
• Quinn Cummings, for ‘Goodbye Girl’ in 1977;
• River Phoenix,  for ‘Running on Empty’ in 1988;
• Haley Joel Osment, for ’The Sixth Sense’ in 1999;
• Keisha Castle-Hughes, for ‘Whale Rider’ in 2004;
• Abigail Breslin, for ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ in 2007.

Let’s just hope that on Sunday, Hailee Steinfeld, at 14-year-old, will win an Oscar for her performance in ‘True Grit’.
