Emilio Quotes

Emilio Estevez was definitely my first love.

At first it was about really living that lifestyle that I had envisioned, that I had really hoped for. I`d hoped to be a very recognizable celebrity. I thought thats what it was all about: the women, money, the fame, all the the bull****. When you get in it when you`re suddenly in the eye of the storm, its not as good as it looks like from the outside. Its not as appealing as it looked when I would hang out with Emilio or Tom (Cruise) or Judd (Nelson) the guys who were going through it when I was still on my way up. (SV Entertainment 1991)

Paula is a sweet lady and a great addition to the family. I`m not really familiar with her music, and I`ve said this to her face. We had a party at the house for my sister, Renee, and (my) Dad said, `Charlie, put on some Paula Abdul, I don`t own any of her records`. So I replied, `I`ve been playing them so much, they`re all worn out, they scratch and skip all over the place it would be an embarrassment`. Paula didn`t buy it for an instant. - 1993 quote, during the time Paula Abdul was married to his brother Emilio Estevez.

The same role had been offered to Emilio a year earlier but the financing fell through. This time, Emilio was on another project, so Oliver Stone offered it to me. It was the break of my life, and I knew it. But it was a strange experience, because we filmed in the Philippines, less than 100 miles away from where my dad had filmed Apocalypse Now (1979). People say I look like him - now, here I was, not only making a picture about Vietnam the way he did, but also narrating it the way he did. And, like him, I had a moment that came close to death, when I fell halfway out of a helicopter, but was caught just in time by one of the actors. - On Platoon (1986).

You see, my brother (Emilio Estevez) didn`t go as nuts as I did when he started getting that first taste of it all. I just thought that`s what you`re supposed to do. You become a fucking overnight success and suddenly everything`s free. Everybody wants to be your best friend. It`s amazing and dangerous: The more money you make, the more things people want to give you for free. It should be the opposite. It`s very easy to get caught up with that fast life. Once you understand that you have to pay your way, you begin to handle your success and life.

I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.
