Jack Osbourne Quotations

For a while I was suicidal and I tried to kill myself. I think I should have died about four times.

Kelly has a rather bad habit of interrupting.

Well, all I can say is, it's a day-by-day program, and so I'm very worried about relapsing, but I don't know. I don't want to use. I don't want to go back to that place because nothing good came of it. It was super dark; it's not nice.

When I got diagnosed, the more research I did about it - MS overall, as a subject, as a disease - there's a lot of misconceptions and there's a lot of unknowns about it, and there wasn't anyone out that was close to my age or close to anything like me out there.

There's people outside our house; you get followed by photographers; you can't go out and have a cup of coffee with a friend without someone coming up to you.

I didn't get at first put into a rehab facility; I got put in a adolescent psychiatric unit for my detox.

As long as I know my head's in the right place, my feet are on the ground, I think I'll be fine.

I've been drinking and using since I was 13.

The strange thing is, no matter what, when you become some kind of public figure, you have your go-to answers for all scenarios and instances.

I took a bottle of pills. I'd been in Europe and I had a lot of absinthe and I was just drinking and drinking, trying to, you know, just shut my body down.

Dad was just an emotional wreck. He was drinking a lot of the time, he was smoking a lot of pot. And because he takes certain medications, the drinking was making him... you know, he wasn't even present, really.

I don't want to come off like the jealous brother who wasn't getting the attention, but it was like no one was really into me anyway. I wasn't really a priority.

I'd read things, like people criticizing me. But no one likes to read stuff about that, and probably the main thing that was getting to me was me mum's illness.

I had my group of friends, you know, like my real group of friends, and then I had, like, party friends.

It's been real weird. It wasn't how I expected my life to turn out. Especially, mainly pertaining to the show. It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show, you know?

I had about four days of like, 'Pity party, woe is me, it's all over.' Then I did some research and spoke with doctors and got in contact with people who have MS, and I soon realized it's actually a lot more manageable than the kind of public perception of it is, and that's part of the reason why I've been so outspoken about it.

I have a tendency to really stuff things. I don't really express, you know? Like, express certain feelings and stuff.

I'm the kind of person that, if someone says, 'Oh yeah, you can't do that,' I want to then go do it.

It never crossed my mind that one day I'm gonna be big and famous and have my own TV show, you know?

When my mum first told me she got sick, I didn't cry. I probably cried over my mum's illness twice.

I'm totally grateful for the fans my family has and I have; they gave me a lot of support when I was in treatment. But it was just odd, you know? It's stressful. Just the whole fact of being someone in the public eye.

If I have a problem, stuff's going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.

I was hanging out with no one under 21. I thought that if I really wanted to fit in I had to... show them that I was in a way just as adult as they were, 'cause I could hold my own just as well as they could, if not better.

I was interning at a record label - OK, cool. I'm gonna do what my mom did, you know, work her way up in the music industry, the business side of things. I was comfortable with that. That was what I wanted to do. And then just suddenly I am thrown from that. It was super insane.

I went to a friend's house and we just started using. I took myself out of the picture for a second, and I looked around at every single person in the room - at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near to 30, unemployed, living off their parents... they were heroin addicts. They were just guys on The World's Biggest Couch Tour.

My mom, you can't go wrong with my mom. I mean, she's brilliant. She's taught me a lot, you know, just about everything. The only thing I don't like about her is that I think she's a little afraid for us to grow up. She's motherly and she's just trying to hold us back, and she's actually just starting to accept me now.

Back then it was a very realistic thing for me. My own thing was, you know, wake up at 5 in the afternoon, it's dark out, hang out, maybe take a shower, then start drinking, start smoking pot, go out with friends, get wasted.

There was the Jack Osbourne my parents knew, the Jack Osbourne my friends knew, and the Jack Osbourne the public knew. The one my parents knew was the funny, facetious, nice, loving son my parents know, who is truly caring. With my friends it was a crazy, insane, drinking, using, party animal who knew how to have a good time. And with the public, it was the one they wanted to vote out of the house.

I want to make the book as real as possible, but I can hardly remember a thing.

But you know, my mom having to go to the hospital seven times... like passed out because of pain... I wouldn't come home and sit with my family and be with my dad - I'd call someone up and... I'd go and get obliterated drunk and I'd go, like, on two-week benders.

I'm an ass-kicking fat kid.

Kelly, there are people in Somalia who would die for a banana.

I go to a meeting every day. I surround myself with people who don't use. I recently got back from Ozzfest and I caught myself in kind of a sticky situation where I was around a lot of people using, drinking and it was kind of - I didn't have the urge to use once, but I just knew I shouldn't have been there.

I'd have to say that Muay Thai is something special. It's really demanding and it's becoming popular all around the world.

Adapt and overcome' is my new motto.

You cant take good health for granted.

Diet is a big thing. I am a firm believer in you are what you eat. I juice a lot, I try and stick to a Paleo Diet. At its core, I look at MS as inflammation, so I try and eliminate foods that cause inflammation: dairy, gluten, grains.

Just know this, if that day does come where I do win this mirrorball, know that I didn't just win it for me, but I won it for all of us with MS.
