Favorite Quotes from Macaulay Culkin

The in every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. The bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.” – Macaulay Culkin

“I have no control over people’s perceptions of me at all and that’s one of the things I decided very early on is that I can’t control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is to go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.” – Macaulay Culkin
