HOW DID YOU GET INTO YOUR NEWEST PROJECT/SERIES WHERE YOU DIRECT FOR EVIL ANGEL?

I had a bunch of scenes I wanted to do, such as a staircase full of naked girls (greed), a food fight orgy (gluttony), girls wearing masks of my own face gangbanging another girl using a mold of my own penis for future film (Pride) which is kind of creepy but figured why not just do the 7 deadly sins, one movie per sin. I’m pretty proud of the production value.

DO YOU FEEL DIRECTING IS A MILESTONE IN YOUR CAREER?

Directing is a retirement plan for me. It is creatively satisfying, but it’s hard! If given the option to perform or direct, I would chose perform because I enjoy it more, but eventually people aren’t going to want to see me naked. Good to have the longevity of a director.

DO YOU PREFER ROUGH/RAW SCENES OVER ROMANTIC?

No. I like the ying and yang and the different concepts of the scenes. It doesn’t become monotonous. Doing a passionate scene makes me like the rougher stuff more and then doing the rawer stuff makes me like the romantic scenes more. I just love sex!

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF MAKING A MALE SEX EDUCATION FLICK?

No, and I’ll tell you why because I can’t tell men how to please women, but I can tell women how to please men, or at least me. All men are different and all women are different. I never understood why educational videos are that way. There are some men who love things shoved in there urethra! That sounds horrible to me! See, everybody’s different.

DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A WOODSMAN OR DO YOU USE SUPPLEMENTS TO STAY HARD?

When I first started I was against that stuff. I was like ‘If you’re not able to do it then you shouldn’t be doing it at all!’ So as a performer I have a little cold shoulder towards it, but than a year after directing and filming guys who aren’t able to get an erection, my views changed.
