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.

As a senior in high school, you figure out what you want to do with your life. I asked myself if I wanted to get back into acting and thought: 'Yes, but under my own terms and nothing like it was before.'

Image
I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
Gosh, I couldn't even talk right until I was about 6 years old or something like that.

Image
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.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.

After seeing 'Big,' I wanted an elevator that opened directly into my apartment, just like Tom Hanks did.

Image
The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I went to high school, which was a good thing because I hadn't interacted with many people my age, and I didn't really have friends. I had a million acquaintances and no friends.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don't see him, which is unfortunate. But I don't have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don't want to know.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
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.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I don't even get an allowance.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.

Math is one of my favorite subjects.

Image
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.

Image
A lot of people meet me and they're like, 'Why aren't you crazy?'
Macaulay Culkin
Image
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.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.
Macaulay Culkin
Image
I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.
