F***in' bullshit, you know.

I wasn't... You know, I haven't...

I've only just started to become a man...

in the last f***in' three years,

you know?

Because I was blaming other...

blaming, you know?

And a bit of that poor fella me

would come out in my drinking...

and then I'd, like, turn that

into rage, you know?

That's why a lot of those kids

go the wrong way,

walking the street

and doing what they want to do,

trying to find something,

and something they find,

maybe the wrong people,

they mix up with,

and that is the people

that get into trouble.

It is different when they get out there

in a different environment, you know?

You know, once you get 'em

away from town,

they're different kids.

They love it.

And that's why I like taking them out.

The first sergeant I worked with,

he said to me one day,

he said, "The best copper

is an ex-crim".

'Cause you think like them, you know?

You know what they're thinking

and you can...

Body language,

you know all that sh*t,

because you've done all that crap.

And you can only do that

sober or clean, you know?

You can't...

No use getting drunk and then

getting emotional, you know?

You've got to get emotional

and cry when you're sober,

and go through that

over a long period of time.

I'm the kind of woman that

clashes with a mad bastard,

because I can be pretty mad

myself, so... yeah.

Yeah, the biggest fight

I've ever had in my life...

is within myself.

And the hardest fight is with me.

And, yeah, I'm still fighting.

I'm still having that fight.

A mad bastard, he's not really,

really mad. He's in between.

He can be a good man

when he's sober..

and he can be a mad bastard

when he's drunk.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But it might seem to be mad,

but... it's not.

But it's just a good...

good name for that movie.
