Tupac on Acting and His Breakout Role in Juice
“When I auditioned for Juice, that was another of my good luck times. I was broke. I wasn’t even thinking about acting. I was thinking about surviving.
“Money B [of Digital Underground] was going to audition. I was just being a sidekick and walked in there wet. Soon as we got home they was like, ‘We want him to fly back out here,’ and I was like, if they’re going to fly me, I’ll go back out there. That’s a chance. And then they started, you know, ‘One more time,’ and I was like ‘OK.’ All this was good because I hadn’t got any parts. I hadn’t even gone out on any auditions, so it was like my first audition was going so well.
“Bishop is a psychopath, but, more true to his character, Bishop is a lonely, misguided young kid. His heroes are James Cagney and Scarface. Those kinds of guys. Shoot-’em-up, go-out-in-a-blaze type of gangsters.
“I don’t think acting is as technical as they try and make it. They try and make it technical so everybody isn’t an actor. All you have to do is feel for your character and relate to your character. Because when you act you satisfy something inside of yourself.
“The character is me. I’m Bishop. Everybody got a little Bishop in them.”
— From his autobiography and companion to the documentary, Tupac: Resurrection, 1971-1996
- “ while the strong black woman insignia charades as a compliment, It really pardons the rest of the worlds responsibility to view the black woman as vulnerable,able to experience pain, capable of weakness, worthy of support & unconditionally lovable. until the black woman is allowed to reject the demand for strength she’ll never truly experience her own humanity. “
