Personal Quotes
We let them [adult film actors] know that HIV is an occupational hazard, not just a risk or a remote possibility. Nobody seems to hear it. Everybody is so into making money.
Nobody knows me as the ex-porn star. I'm a doctor. I wear a doctor's coat. I run a clinic. I'm very well-respected.
