Charlie Sheen: I Sorta Understand Why CBS Intervened

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Feb 28th 2011 11:00PM

Charlie Sheen capped off a day full of candid and explosive interviews with one final stop at 'Piers Morgan Tonight.' "I feel more alive, I feel more focused, I feel more energetic," Sheen told CNN's Morgan. "I'm on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front."

"I'm on a mission right now: It's an operation to right some terrible wrongs," he said. "That's what fuels me, the truth."

But even after making those statements, Sheen seemed to be doing a touch of damage control. Wearing an open-collared shirt and a loose-fitting T-shirt, the 'Two and a Half Men' star appeared more relaxed and subdued than earlier interviews Monday. He even admitted he might have been too brash at times and said some things he regrets.

Sheen confessed he could "sort of understand why" CBS executives felt they had to intervene while also asserting that his private life was his own business.

The actor revealed that he hadn't counted the days since he last did drugs because he simply doesn't see himself as an addict -- instead, he's just someone who lives his life to the fullest. "My motto is to enjoy every moment," he told Morgan.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the interview was when Sheen said he would go back and finish the season of his hit show. CBS and Warner Bros. discontinued production after an interview Sheen gave last week in which he insulted producer Chuck Lorre.

He also retracted an earlier statement that he'd want $3 million an episode to return. Instead, he just wants to make sure he and the crew get paid for the whole season.

Interestingly enough, Sheen said that CBS actually "had a chance to get rid [of him] a couple of times" when he admitted to them he was bored with his job. Instead, the network gave him a raise.

We're getting there... Charlie is a "Chicken Head" impersonating a Moron. Through his manic rants, he is exhibiting all the traits of an addict in denial.

Someone help this man>>>He needs help A.S.A.P.

donaldathomas...ASAP? Is that "A Shot Across his Pointed head?"

By Paula Tilley

You are so right!!! Charlie needs help!! I wonder sometimes if there is a reason for what he is doing. I worked for a Mental Health facility & often times there is something going on in someone's life physically & they want to do all they can while they are still living. However Charlie is making many bad decisions. He needs if possible court ordered rehab at a facility not at home. He is a brilliant actor CBS has made a lot of money with that show but with Charlie gone no mattter who they replace him with or what character they add the show will never make it more than one season.

Charlie Sheen was great, he stood his ground and refused to bow to his Jewish handlers, he refused to treat them as masters. Clearly it is he , Mr Sheen, that's owed and apology, and while they're at it, they should apologize to Rick Sanchez for screwing him out of his job at CNN.

Poor Ray. You are truly a fool. You owe us an apology for posting your inane and racist rant.

By wtf6

Now he's retracting what he said??? Geeez. This guy is a mess. Maybe he can do stand up some day. bye bye

By areyoukidding

Charlie is owed an apology? Are you kidding?? No, CBS and the general public is owed an apology by the moron Mr. Sheen.

By wkmcmurry

He's pretty much hit every stop he can crash his train into all in one day. Quite impressive! A new record in the "twitter-era". He'll never win an Oscar, but at least he has that!

What did Michael Jackson try to say?
Charlie Sheen questions Obama about 9/11
despite AIPAC controlled media censorship.
Mel Gibson does not play dumb about 9/11 either.

Why would he want to question Obama about 9/11? GEORGE BUSH was the president then.

Talk about ignorant! You must be Charlie's stupider brother.

MA ALWAYS SAID: "SON, IF YOU AIN'T GOT NUTTIN GOOD TO SAY ABOUT A MORON, THEN DON'T SAY NUTTIN AT ALL."

Really getting tired of hearing about this loser, let him fade away now.

This man may be in the middle of a melt down...and by all means, needs to take a long..long trip to rest.....but he does have a point about CBS. His shanigans have been going on for a long time...and instead of them severing ties when this began, they followed it all up with a raise.

By yayabeanes

Does he sorta understand that buying and providing illegal drugs is against the law...Does he sorta understand that paying money for protitutes is against the law...Does he sorta understand that abusing alcohol can destroy your life and affect others who ae around you....Does he sorta understand that abusing and physically attacking women is against the law...Well, taking all that into account and the damage he done not just to himself because that would be conceited and igorant, he just not "sorta" enough.

By MelB

How can he sorta understand when apparently he remembers doing NOTHING wrong?
