Cornered Quotes

My mom and I lived at Hollywood and Western, a drug-dealer and prostitute corner. It was pretty terrifying. I got beat up a lot. I saw people have sex in the alleys. I remember I was 5 years old, and this guy with a trench coat, needles and crack cornered me. Early on, seeing the devastation on my block, seeing heroin addicts, made me think twice about ever getting involved in drugs. It`s evil. Once you take that step and experiment, drugs can take over your life. You are not yourself anymore. That`s something I never wanted. I didn`t have a lot of friends growing up.

Who doesn`t have sympathy for the underdog? Of course, I do. We create institutions, governments and schools to help us live, but every institution has a tendency, after a while, to behave not as if they should be serving you, but that you should be serving them. That`s when the individual gets in conflict, because we are paying these institutions with our taxes, we are paying them to serve us and help us live, and not to tell us how to live and dominate us. I wouldn`t say it`s the underdog but it`s always the conflict within the individual and the institutions. Instead of underdogs, let`s talk about dogs. If you corner a dog, he`s ready to bite you. That`s the reality. Otherwise he`s a loveable, wonderful creature. If you corner him, he can behave abominably. And so does a human being. When an individual is cornered by society or an institution, well, he can behave abominably and I can`t really hide it or glorify it. Neither. It`s just a fact of life.
