- Became known as the "Buttman". Always had a fascination for a woman's behind and never hid the fact, even in his early work. In Just Another Pretty Face (1985), he stared down the bountiful chest of a then 17-year-old Traci Lords and turned her around to poke and pinch at her butt.

- [on announcing publicly that he was HIV-positive] Even if I'd wanted to, I couldn't have kept it secret. People talk all the time in this business, so it was only a matter of time before it came out. I figured it was better to tell people myself than have rumors going around. positive.

- Camerawork on a porno set is difficult. You're shooting a lot of stuff in a hurry. It's like shooting a live performance that you know has to be edited. So I shoot a lot, and then put a lot of time into the editing.
- In porn, the best stuff happens when you get spontaneous and real things happen. That's why I'm successful. I show spontaneous sex and people want to see real sex. They don't want to see these stupid, staged things where people can't act.
