Just got time to watch the last few episodes of "I'm With Busey." Here are a few of my favorite Busey-isms.
MYSTERIES
"Just pretend you're invisible. But play like you're not pretending, and then your invisibility will become a reality. and you cannot be seen by anything, any place, anyone."On ET's: "They're all smart. They're beyond smartness of our country. Of our nation. Of our world. They're coming to Earth because this planet's in trouble. But there are ETs and replicas that are grays--they're not friendly--they want the earth for their own property."
"My connection with the spiritual realm is going to bypass all the weapons used against us."
"When you want to greet somebody, you walk up to them kindly, and you ask them how they're feeling, and you ask them if they're safe."
ACTING AND FAME
"I'm going to show you some better ways to get rid of fear, that has to do with the mind, the soul, and the spirit. Hand-eye coordination. Eye-hand-foot coordination. Coordination of your central nervous system, and your circulatory system, coupled with your respiratory system, to give you the freedom of a bird that flies endlessly, without effort and without stopping.""Acting is a trick word. It's like a coyote. It doesn't belong. Acting is the absence of acting. It's believing the truth of the moment you're creating at that time."
"Fame, stardom, all these things come with the dinner, when you are committed to letting go of fame, and stardom, and sunglasses, and autographs, and pretty women with no clothes on, and limos, and drugs..."
"What's failing? F-A-I-L-I-N-G. Finding An Important Lesson Inviting Needed Growth. That's what failing is, it's a good thing. In fact, you don't fail, you find a better way to do it."
"You're jumping around like a frog in a bowl of rice wanting to have a menage-a-tua, wearing a helmet."
"Tell me something else about yourself that I can hold onto and not dismiss you for being stupid."
"You're playing a game of hide-and-seek, and it ain't working for you, cause everyone can see your lies, I can taste 'em."
"And remember, when you improvise that of a pirate you must take on his voice. (Coughing) and pirates cough because they eat scurvy."
"You have butterflies? Pretty soon those butterflies are going to turn into hummingbirds and they'll stay in your stomach. And then if you get scared the hummingbirds will turn into a herd of frogs you feel like you have in your butt."
What is wrong with me that I want to read what Busey has to say?!

We've just got this show in the UK, it's getting cult status
When did Busey start losing it.
It's making me seem like a very normal person.

I'm with Busey has been showing on UK cable TV for a couple of weeks now, basically me and my housemates have been glued to our screens - I never realised there was one person with so many valuable lessons on life.
Adam De La Pena is a great "straight man" to Busey - they work like a charm together.
Go Busey!
