Corey Feldman's Quotes

• I'm more than an actor. I'm an icon, an industry. [edited quote from interview segment while filming 'The Surreal Life' - full quote: "Okay, I'm more than an actor, I'm a musician, and a producer, and a dancer. And it's wonderful if people think that I'm an icon, an industry, but really, I'm just appreciative of the fact that I' still working"]
• It was a great experience for a kid, because it was a bunch of kids playing on pirate ships and water slides, so looking back on it, it was the fondest experience of my childhood - about working on The Goonies (1985).
• "It did not feel like something that was going to take over my life and destroy it. It felt like a subtle flower instead of a manipulative demon. That's the mystery of heroin." (USA Today)
• I was famous before I knew my own name.
• I didn't enjoy filming "A New Beginning" at all. It was about 40 degrees out and they 'rained' freezing cold water on me. Plus, they made me keep my eyes open during the downpour. Danny Steinmann, who was one tough director, kept yelling at me, saying I couldn't act! [Recalling the filming of his cameo appearance in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)].
