Gary Busey Says He Wants to Spread Love Through His 'Buseyisms'
*By Carlo Versano*
After surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Academy Award-nominated actor Gary Busey claims to have visited "the other side." Now he's out with his own "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth" ー an autobiography he calls "Buseyisms."
What, exactly, is a *Buseyism*?
Take the word "faith." Busey-fied, the word becomes an axiom that Busey said he lives by:
*Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him*
Or "freedom":
*Facing Real Exciting Energy, Developing Out Of Miracles*
Or "relationship":
*Really Exciting Love Affair Turns Into Overwhelming Nightmare, Sobriety Hangs In Peril*
Busey, who was raised Christian and publicly struggled with drug addiction and the effects of a traumatic brain injury sustained in a 1988 motorcycle accident, wants "Buseyisms" to show readers by example how he survived difficult times to become a better person. But don't call it an advice book. Busey said his "ordinance" now is to spread love.
"It's a beautiful feeling to love others first," he said. "But before you can love others first, you must learn to love yourself."
