Macaulay Culkin's Quotes

• [at age 10]: I don't even get an allowance.
• It drives me crazy when your parents try to read your mind. It's even worse when they try to read your mail.
• [Just how rich is he?]: I could sit around with my thumb up my butt watching TV and my kids would still go to college!
• [on his new sitcom deal with NBC]: With Friends (1994) biting the dust, the time could now be right for my show.
• [Responding to questions about his estranged father, May 27, 2004.]: 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. As long as he's not standing outside my doorstep, I'm fine.
