Citazioni

Today the talent are all blondes, with fixed tits, and they all wear the same shoes - plastic pumps. They wear the same spandex dresses. They have the same tattoos. They have the same pussy clips. There's no originality.
[on "Adult Cinema Review" magazine] It was the first X-rated newsstand film magazine, which started in the early '70s as "Cinema X" magazine. Vanessa del Rio was on the first cover. I think I gave Del Rio her name. She was a cocktail waitress in downtown New York. She's one of a kind. Happy go lucky, wouldn't hurt a fly. There's no one who looks like her, performs sex like her, or talks like her.
[Of his lung cancer] It kicked the shit out of me. I never felt my age, which I am not telling you. I look young. You can see that I'm still smoking. I'm a fucking moron. When I came out of the hospital, I stopped for six months. As soon as I went back to work, I started smoking again. I had a check-up yesterday and the doctor told me that if I could stop smoking, I could become a ballet dancer. I recommend to anybody to try to stop smoking.
[on his cocaine habit] I did my share of drugs. I went through two houses [Toluca Lake and North Hollywood] in California. I had a penthouse in Manhattan. We used to shoot there and party there. I thank God that I am still alive.
I got in the business for the girls, the money, the people . . . It was never a 9-5 job . . . It was another form of show business. And it was underground. There was no shooting on location. You had to shoot quietly. You had to sneak equipment in [to the building]. It was costly if you got busted.
