It was a happening.
1:05:06
All my friends showed, and it became known
as "The Woodstock of the '80s."

1:05:36
I've never been as high
on myself as I am now.

1:05:40
It must have been
a month and a half ago.

1:05:42
I had a hundred people here, and my kid
was here, and I ran the commercials.

1:05:47
When it was over,
he came to me and said:

1:05:49
"I'm so proud of you."
First time he ever said it.

1:05:52
"I'm so proud of you, Daddy.
Can I sleep in your bed tonight?"

1:05:57
And if I get nothing more
out of it... Nothing...

1:06:00
I've been really paid my remuneration
for whatever I've done. That's worth years.

1:06:04
Bob, aside from Get High on Yourself,
what are your future projects?

1:06:09
I have The Cotton Club which I'm supposed
to start in June. A project I love.

1:06:14
Ain't as important as
Get High on Yourself, though.

1:06:17
Being yourself
1:06:34
Paramount had no interest
in my next picture, The Cotton Club.

1:06:38
So in May of '82, I flew to the Cannes Film
Festival to secure independent financing.

1:06:43
Sylvester Stallone, then the biggest star
in the world, had agreed to play the lead.

1:06:48
And I was there to announce it.
1:06:49
I was supposed to meet 400 distributors
on a Monday morning at 9 a.m. For breakfast.

1:06:55
I get a call at 2:00 that Monday morning,
from..."Hello, Bob, this is Sly."
