"I've got volumes on how not to behave. I've got more information now than a guy should have at my age"
About this Quote
The second line sharpens the stunt: “more information now than a guy should have at my age” frames experience as an overdose. “Information” is a sly, distancing word - clinical, almost techy - that recasts messiness (addiction, public meltdowns, tabloid warfare) as data collected in the field. It’s self-deprecating, but it also smuggles in a brag: he’s lived so hard he’s outpaced the expected timeline. That “should” carries the moral hangover, acknowledging the cultural expectation that a man his age is supposed to have matured, stabilized, stopped being a spectacle.
In context, this is Sheen’s signature move from his peak notoriety era: preempt the judgment by narrating it first, turning humiliation into punchline and punchline into armor. The intent isn’t confession so much as control - if he frames the chaos as comedy, he stays the author instead of the headline. The subtext: you can call me reckless, but you can’t say I’m unaware.
