I do have a family, and I do have friends, and so-called friends, and acquaintances, and many other people I see only around Christmas time. Maybe they could vouch for me. Maybe they could testify to my existence and save a part of me that thinks I'm no better than a bag of potato chips.
I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.
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.
I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not.
I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.
It's about finding unique, one-of-a-kind films that I would want to see myself. I think 'Party Monster' is one of those.
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.
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.
There's more to me, you know? I'm not Macaulay Culkin, 'Home Alone' kid. I'm Macaulay Culkin... actor.
He's a friend, but the kind of friend you talk to twice a year.
I wouldn't trade any of my experiences for anything in the world, ... 20/20.
It's like, I don't think you understand, Michael Jackson's bedroom is two stories and it has, like, three bathrooms and this and that. So, when I slept in his bedroom, yes, but you understand the whole scenario.
It was for one of his last Christmas specials. I remember I went to his hotel room to rehearse with him, and he was zoned out on medication or something, and I'm thinking, How is this going to happen?
It took me ten minutes to write this very sentence. I'm no writer. This is not my calling.
