"Take a wild ride through the life and mind of Gary Busey in his new hilarious, uplifting, tell-all memoir, Buseyisms. Gary transports you on a laugh-out–loud journey through the crazy twists and turns of his rise to fame, his descent into drug addiction, and his trip to the ‘other side’ after a near-fatal motorcycle accident. Gary also shares untold stories of his militant upbringing, and surviving cancer in the middle of his face that threatened to leave him permanently disfigured. Interspersed with dozens of personal photographs from Gary’s early years up until now, and fun behind the scenes stories of his most popular movie and television roles including: A Star Is Born, The Buddy Holly Story, Lethal Weapon, Point Break, Under Siege, The Firm, Entourage, Celebrity Apprentice, and more.

Gary is a living testimony to the resilience of the human body and spirit. In his simply written but profound memoir, he shares his Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth to help others, who may be going through similar things, to realize that it is possible to survive challenging life events and come out a happy champion."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Get to know Gary Busey, who once told me he was an angel in an earth suit. Indeed he is, giving us messages he’s received from on high, messages that inspire and support us in living a beautiful fulfilled life. Get to know my dear friend Gary Busey, read Buseyisms." ―Jeff Bridges, actor, The Big Lebowski and True Grit

“He actually has a glossary of Buseyisms at the back of the book and I have to tell you, these are surprisingly thoughtful and profound....I’m really proud of this book.” ―Dr. Phil

"Gary Busey’s memoir is pure joy. He has found a way to translate his fearlessness as an actor and musician into the pages of this book. He pulls back the curtain and lets us all in. Sharp, detailed, totally free and all kinds of crazy…just the way we like him." ―Joely Fisher, actor, director, and author of Growing Up Fisher

“I listened to Gary make up his Buseyisms on the spot and finally came up with my own for our team name, 'Plan B' ― Peace Love And Nothing But. I’m warning you, read this now and you’ll come away thinking a little bit like my friend, Gary. But you won’t ever go full Busey, no one but Gary can. Whenever I’m asked what Gary is like (and that’s often of course), I answer using some Bob Dylan thoughts: 'Gary dances beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.' I don’t know what would spell for a Buseyism, but it’s the truth and I love him.” ―Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller - Las Vegas
