Charlie Sheen tells the July/August issue of Playboy he "started to unravel," last year, calling his public meltdown a "psychotic break."

Sounds about right.

Here are some highlights from his Playboy interview promoting his new FX show "Anger Management," available on newsstands and online June 29.

On insisting he was "winning": "I was in total denial. It wasn't that bleak in my head. I felt I was winning by finally being able to speak my mind. I felt that was some sort of victory. And then it was fueled by the insane public outpouring of support."

On the many other phrases he coined: "Most of it came out of nowhere. It wasn't planned, it was just random. The tiger blood? I don't know. It's just a very dangerous animal. And there's a tiger in 'Apocalypse Now,' by the way, so maybe there's a connection there. Adonis DNA? I don't know what the f**k that was about. That was just stupid. That went a little far."
