Charlie Sheen says Nicolas Cage almost got them arrested while he was carrying 2 ounces of cocaine on a flight
“They still had that curtain separating first class, so we'd pull the curtain back with the mic and say something really goofy and get a couple laughs”
“Then the mic winds up in Cage's grip. He saw the tone that we had set, but chose to take it where he did. He impersonated the captain, that he's not feeling well and he's losing control of the airplane”
“It was right out of the movies. You hear people start screaming. Like there's always that high pitched female scream in the movies, that happened”
“We were in a panic and he didn't know the amount of cocaine I had on me. 2 ounces in a fat ziploc. Taped to the inside of my inner thigh”
“The steward walks right up to him and points him right in the face and says, ‘Not cool mister. Not cool.’ And that was about 10 minutes before landing, so we kind of knew we might have company. But I still had a measure of goodwill with the passengers because nobody knew at that point I was a drug mule”
“We are detained. Could get a lot worse. But it was that thing again where a couple guys were Cage fans, a couple guys were Sheen fans, and we could feel it start to turn in our favor, and that's when the first wave of relief hit. This is not going to be a life changing evening”

"They offered me a buyout of future royalties right before the game launched. They offered me half a million dollars. They said you get that right now and then no money going forward"
"No one had ever spoken those types of numbers to me before, but I felt like I was in a pretty good place. I was doing well in other ways. I was still skating a lot, doing events, I had good endorsements, and I thought I'm gonna take a risk and I don't need that money right now"
