Personal Quotes
As an actor I put my strong passion in anything I do. It can be porno, or it can be straight movies. The main difference generally, is emotions and physical.

"I have no idea. But if you count about 600 films, you can multiply each film with three to four women. And that does not include the women I had sex with for photo-shoots.

And it also doesn't include my normal girlfriends, women I had affairs with." - On how many models he has had sex with.

"No, you just have to eat healthy and stay fit. I am a performer. It doesn't matter whether you drink or smoke, as long as you have a clean spirit. You can't have any stress, when you have stress you can forget it. You got to have a clean mind." - On how to stay fit and healthy as a performer.

"I like two sorts; they must be very feminine, or very young. So very feminine females or young teenagers. Color of the hair or things like that don't matter to me." - On the sort of women he is into.
To do porn-shootings isn't always nice: you do everything in front of a camera, and you can never forget about that. You're a professional in the first place. In my private life, I only do those things which I want to do with my partner.

When I started in this business I would have been willing to pay to be in it from my own pocket, that is how much I wanted to be in this business. Today, it's funny saying that, because now I am probably the most paid actor in porn, because one day I decided that this was going to be my life. People told me that I was good, and I realized that I couldn't work for everyone, because I would kill myself with work, so I raised my price several times, so that I could get to a point where only certain people could afford me. As an actor, I like working with girls who are here for the same reason I am here, to have fun and make good movies. They give you real scenes with real passion and no bullshitting. I hate bullshitting.
