Quotes

  • [on model and porn actress Mary Millington] Mary was more than just a footnote in British sex film history, she was the British sex film industry. Her only crime was being a beautiful woman who loved sex and adored working in the sex business. Everyone loves sex, so why do so many people have hang-ups about it? The fact that she fought so relentlessly against hypocrisy in all its forms is the reason why her story is an important one and it's why I'm so proud I could tell it.
