Charlie Sheen might be the quote-worthy celebrity hot mess to beat right now, but if anyone's up for the task it's Gary Busey.

Esquire published an interview today where they talked to Busey about being a contestant on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice -- or at least that's what they tried to talk about between spelling words and coming up with catchy mnemonics.

Is Busey nuts? Maybe. But in more of a cute, cheerleader way than Sheen's brand of hardcore #tigerblood Martian voodoo.

I've made some important motivational posters to illustrate my point and you can be the judge.
