1:42:00
It's very important to have friends.
1:42:03
I live in the South Bronx.
1:42:06
That's the country just north of Harlem
and west of Puerto Rico.
1:42:10
It's a very tough neighborhood.
1:42:12
The dogs carry knives.
1:42:16
Did you ever see a baby
with a zip gun?
1:42:19
You gotta have friends. You can't
alienate anybody up there. Nobody.
1:42:24
Black people, white people, Chicanos,
Puerto Ricans, cockroaches.
1:42:28
You gotta respect cockroaches.
They got a good union.
1:42:31
Last week, 15,000 marched down my
block demanding better housing.
1:42:37
But I love the South Bronx.
Everywhere you go from there is up.
1:42:42
Everybody has dreams in the
South Bronx. I had dreams.
1:42:47
Stop your average boy
on a South Bronx street...
1:42:51
...and ask him
what he wants to be.
1:42:53
"I want to be an ex-junkie, man."
1:42:58
You can see them every day.
1:42:59
You can't drive because of the dreams
on the streets being seen by cokeheads.
1:43:04
The minute that white line's laid down
the street, you got somebody going:
1:43:10
It's true.
1:43:12
And then there is sex.
1:43:16
Oh, yeah.
1:43:18
Kids are into sex earlier in South Bronx.
1:43:21
Like about 6 a.m.
1:43:27
-You were wonderful.
-No.
1:43:29
-Really.
-I was good. I felt more than good.
1:43:32
-The guy wants me back.
-You're kidding!
1:43:34
He wants to book me regularly.
1:43:36
-Great!
-That's not great...
1:43:37
...it's fantastic! It's like electricity.
1:43:40
You're out there. Those faces are
out there, staring at you...
1:43:43
...and you draw them in, then
you hit them with the juice.
1:43:47
And bam! They fucking explode!
And that power goes back and forth.
1:43:51
Next thing you know,
you're making them laugh.
1:43:53
That is the meanest high there is.
That beats dope. That beats sex.
1:43:57
I love fucking acting!
