Charlie Sheen Quote-o-Rama

In the last few days, the battle between producer Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen has reached a fever pitch that has produced some of the most amazing soundbites to come out of Hollywood in a long time. Whether or not you sympathize at all with Sheen in his plight, one thing is undeniable: The man knows how to give a fascinating interview. Earlier this week, Sheen joined the Twitter-Universe and you can now follow his thoughts as they happen right on his Twitter feed.

Whether it's claiming to have tiger blood, which he explained to Howard Stern on his Sirius/XM show is "a metaphor for having absolute rocket fuel in my veins," or declaring exactly what it is he thinks of himself and his life as he did on NBC's "Today" show ("I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars."), Sheen has given the world quite a few nuggets to chew on.

One thing is clear through all the soundbites, though: Sheen is quite entertaining, and it would seem most of his post-TMZ interviews have been much more thought out. He's also unflinchingly honest. Want to know what his current living situation (with a porn-star and a bikini-model) is all about? According to Charlie on "20/20," "I'm gonna say this. It's a polygamy story. All my guy friends are gonna like throw tomatoes at me. It's like an organic union of the hearts."

Is he bothered by all the reports about this living situation? On the Today show, he seemed not to be. "I'm entertained as hell. I'm not saying that it's not true, but I'm saying I'm laughing. And I'm laughing with the goddesses; I'm laughing with my friends." Yes, he calls the ladies he's cohabitating with goddesses.

According to Sheen, the reports of his penchant for white powder are not true, saying on "20/20" "I have no interest in cocaine," and "I don't believe myself to be an addict." In typical Sheen duality, though, he also said in the same interview "The last time I took drugs I probably took more that anyone could survive. I was banging seven gram rocks because that's how I roll, I have one speed, go."

One gets a sense that underneath it all somewhere he does in fact have a sense of responsibility to the other cast and crew members of Two and a Half Men who, up until yesterday, were going to lose all their income for the episodes in production that were halted. In his phone-interview with Howard Stern, Sheen said "Many people are suffering. And I'm the only guy who can affect the change." He speaks in grandiose terms of his dedication to getting his show back on the air. "Defeat is not an option. They picked a fight with a warlock."

On CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, Sheen mocked Alcoholics Anonymous, saying "...you gotta sit in a room and be all lame." In another glimpse at an underlying lucidity to the madness, Sheen even sees that it's sort of strange that he's the top story in most news outlets, even pushing the tumult in Libya out of the lead story. "For me to be the biggest headline while this is going on, that's crazy."

Is he bi-polar, as suggested by the "20/20" experts who analyzed Sheen's interview? "If I'm bipolar, aren't there moments where a guy like crashes in the corner like, 'Oh my god, it's all my mom's fault!' Later he added, "I'm bi-winning. I win here and I win there."

Even his Twitter feed is filled with the same kind of language and rhetoric.

"Winning..! Choose your Vice.. #winning #chooseyourvice"

"Just got invited to do the Nancy Grace show... I'd rather go on a long road trip with Chuck Lorre in a '75 Pacer...."

"My sons' are fine... My path is now clear... Defeat is not an option..!"

"Questions..? I'm here for my people..! Bring it!! #TigerBlood"

So where is this all leading? It would seem the outcome of this could either be some kind of gladiatorial show-down between CBS, Lorre and Sheen with a lot more incredibly fun soundbites, or this could end tragically with Sheen's tiger blood finally running out and him in a much less entertaining state. One thing remains clear: Sheen is completely unapologetic at this point and shows no signs of slowing down the circus train.
