Dancers From The United States

"And I can't get you out of my head And I know I can't pretend That I won't die if you decide You won't see me again If I never feel you in my arms again If I never feel your tender kiss again"

"It's just another sad love song Rackin' my brain like crazy Guess I'm all torn up Be it fast or slow It doesn't let go Or shake me And it's all because of you"

"I would say, ‘One day I’ll be really famous.'"

"Holiday time makes me feel happy and festive and excited. I got a three-picture deal at Lifetime and I thought a Christmas movie would be the perfect way to come out and introduce it."

"My skin as an African American tends to be a little drier, since I’m getting up there, just going outside in the sun, and all the years of the things that I’ve done to my body being in the entertainment business. For me, it was having hyperpigmentation or sometimes you get light spots. I wanted to do something that represented me. I wanted something that I knew really worked."

"So I try to relish in that moment and try to smile about it and just be grateful for the time you have and you have to always remember to be kind to one another."

"Not being egotistical but I know I’m a big name and I know that I’m recognizable. For the people who know who I am to be walking around in Times Square and be stopped in their tracks and be like, ‘Wait a minute, is that Riley Reid on a giant billboard in Times Square? What?’ And then for the people who don’t know who I am, they’ll see it and probably be like, ‘Oh, what is this? What’s going on here?’ And then hopefully do their research, look into it because they’ll be curious, and then see that it’s an adult story documentary porno all mixed together. I think it’s going to be huge for the general public. I hope we have more opportunities like this. I hope other companies will take the time to glamorize themselves in the mainstream media, because if it can be done it should be done."

"When production does continue again imagine that the workplace will be very different in order to create a safer place in regards to protecting the crew and talent from exposure to such viruses again. There has been talk of adding a coronavirus test along with our regular STD tests to our testing panel which we are mandated to do every 14 days. I personally am curious to see how the future of porn will change with how greatly the world has been impacted by the coronavirus."

"I’m at a point in my career where I really want to humanize myself and allow the world to see there’s more to me than my adult videos. I want to show them my raw self, myself without makeup, myself when I’m just rambling and talking. And maybe I shouldn’t have said the things I say but I fucking said it because that’s who I am."

"Being a big star in the industry, knowing that I have an impact on the industry, it was almost a duty. To take on this challenge and do this documentary, to really show the adult entertainer is more than just her stage name."

"I use my Twitter to sell content and make money. A lot of the times you won’t see me posting about my dog because I do try to stay on brand. I understand why the common person who follows me on social media would put me in a very hyper sexual category. They’re looking at my job. They’re looking at Riley Reid. I want to attract people who will hopefully understand this is just my brand, but sadly we’re not in a world of intellectuals. I think a lot of people don’t look deeper; so many people are just surface-lookers. It’s an emotional thing. I struggle with it when it comes to making friends or dating but I also try to meet people in real life, which is also sometimes a battle because people meet me though Riley Reid."

"I love listening to Jake Paul, he’s so funny, so I came here for a bit of the comedy sense or whatever but I think it’s great. I think Jake is going to f***ing kick his ass."

"I watched Logan’s fight and I have watched a bit of UFC type stuff but I don’t typically watch much fighting so I don’t know the rules or anything like that. To me, it looked like Logan won but I don’t know."

"They got me into it more. I have some friends who do some betting on the UFC and stuff like that but I’ve never gone to a fight before."

"Coronavirus has had a huge impact worldwide affect almost every business including the adult industry. From commercial sex workers such as dominatrix to more mainstream pornography, we too have been affected greatly. Since our work includes being up close and extremely personal with our co-workers, production has been shut down. Leading to a loss of work for not only the actors/actresses but also directors, production crew and make up artists."

"DePape’s federal public defender said during his federal sentencing that DePape was first exposed to extreme beliefs by Taub, who has two children with DePape. Taub met DePape in Hawaii when he was 20 years old and she was in her 30s and pregnant, DePape’s twin sister, Joanne Robinson, said in a letter to the federal judge seeking leniency. Robinson wrote that Taub isolated DePape from his family and inflicted “extreme psychological damage” on her brother."

"Taub has attended both trials and has claimed the evidence against DePape is false."

"I know that myself personally, I don’t recommend anyone to get into porn because it’s really tough and it’s really hard and I feel like you really have to have a strong mindset and perspective.You have to have a lot of self-love because there’s so much hate coming at you. People are just clawing at you so you have to really be confident in who you are before you open the doors to allow people who have no idea who you are, who have never met you, know nothing about you, who literally just watched you have sex, then judge you and complain about you."

"I initially thought with the Logan Paul fight that would knock him (KSI) out in the first round so, I honestly do not know, I can only hope because that would be amazing to see a knockout in the first round. But by the third round maybe someone can get downed and it is going to be f****** Gib because you’re going f****** down."

"It’s super-flattering and I would be super-happy if I won. Winning an award will help me feel like I am the best at what I do."

"On Monday and Tuesday, Taub, who is a high-profile pro-nudist activist in the Bay Area, was reportedly handing out pieces of paper with a website address on them."

"It is true that it is illegal to have sex with a minor (under 18 in California, under 16 in Alabama, under 14 in Hawaii, under 12 in Mexico). I never once approached you sexually. As far as dating goes, for instance, the law makes it clear that dating is not illegal as long as there is no sexual intercourse. So not only did I never break the law with regards to you, I never even came close to breaking the law. Your mother has yet to find the police code that prohibits sharing a Youtube song with a minor. No judge and no DA would ever consider taking on such a case."

"Never have I ever had a boyfriend who was proud of my job. I’ve had two ‘normal’ boyfriends in my adult life, normal being they don’t do porn. Both of which ended in an ultimatum, porn or them. I always chose porn. I’ve struggled with that choice though, wondering if I’ve made the right decision."

"I might hit up the male performer of the year and we might have a little party tonight."

"Why is it that Paul Pelosi was never cross-examined? All the police body cameras show a time code of 9:30 am when they arrived at Paul’s house, while the DA says that the break in happened at 2 am? David shattered glass and no one heard him?"

"That was very spontaneous. I was like, Well, here it goes."

"I can say I understand his effort and desires trying to make the city seem more family-friendly. I one hundred percent understand those perspectives and everything like that, but sex is how we were all created. Sex is the root of technology and everything that happens in our world. Vogue and everybody else, they all use nude female bodies. They use sex constantly to sell products. So I want to say [to Giuliani]: I’m sorry that you felt the desire to somewhat banish us from the city life but we have only begun to fight back. We will be back in that city. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be glamorized in that same light. We all watch it, we’re all part of it, we all need sex to create life, so why not just glorify it?"

"On Monday, Taub handed out printed pieces of paper with the link to the website, as well as her phone number and email address. She even told reporters she was running the site to cast doubt on the state’s evidence in the case."

"I, Oxane Taub, declare under the penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. They ended up leaving with one of our puppies, but not the one we originally wanted to give away. The next day we decided to take the puppy back. We asked for it very politely, but got a very hostile response from Raven, John’s mother. That’s how our conflicts began. After 2 days of conflict we managed to get our puppy back. But ever since that incident Raven has absolutely hated me. She dedicated her life to destroying me and my children. When the puppy was returned, it got really sick and nearly died. About 2 weeks later he started having violent fits of rage that he has never had before. He started attacking us and other puppies. It took him about a year to stop being violent. It was clear that the puppy was very deeply traumatized when it was with Raven. We could conclude that Raven had tortured our dog. John’s friend Leo said that Raven had gone through three dogs in one year. Since then Raven has lost another dog. We became really concerned not only for the dog Raven had at the time, but for John as well."

"Sometimes when you have choices that actually makes it harder. But when I knew that I had no choice but to survive. That is when my determination kicked in."

"I always say – let all your doubts happen before you commit. Once you’ve committed to pursuing something, don’t look back."

"She was everything that I imagined her to be when I was a young girl growing up, idolizing her, she's elegant, and beautiful, and just incredibly generous."

"People always criticize. If they want to, they will find something to criticize. Hey, we all criticize. You like a film or you don’t. It’s up to you. You can’t stop that anyway. That’s part of human nature"

"I don’t think about the past except now, when we’re talking about it, I never felt I was really there anyway. I always pictured myself as a fly who was up in the corner looking down at myself. I never feel I was there. I’m not very sentimental when it comes to the past, I don’t live there and I feel for people who do because it’s never going to be the same as you remember it."

"When you come that close to not being here, or being told they are going to take your foot off, it changes everything in your life."

"Cruelty in cinema can give us perspective and insight but I’m not a fan of horror as an adrenaline rush or a desensitizing mechanism, I prefer horror movies that elucidate the human condition."

"I was so thankful to just be alive. Things that bothered me before... nothing, I have become much more peaceful and less worried about anything."

"I prefer to be surprised. I’m a shape-shifter and a yogi who loves well crafted indie films with deep themes, but lately my main requirement is that a film be released. It’s disheartening to invest time and love into a good film with a limited release. Therefore, the more mainstream projects are a better gamble."

"People ask me why I became vegan. I went #plantbased overnight after finding out it’s the single most influential thing you can do for the planet. Having that knowledge I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror if I’d continued to eat meat. I didn’t want to be a part of."

"I love him dearly."

"It’s so immediate. It’s very exciting. The audience is there so there’s no retake. There’s no stopping and no chance to redo. You feel the audience and their response to what you’re doing. You get the energy from the audience that you don’t get in a film. Live theater is fluid. You start at the top and go all the way through. You have a seamless feeling and it’s different each night, whether it’s a long or short run. Different things happen each night. There’s a different nuance with the people you act with in each performance. It may be very subtle and very slight and the audience may not catch it, but you do."

"He's not the monster everybody thinks. He's a good person. He has a fantastic heart. He's giving and loving. And he's fun to be around. That's what I love about him – he always makes me laugh. All I want to do is laugh, really – and I do that with him."

"It was difficult growing up. We didn't have everything we wanted. We were used to two pairs of shoes for a school year. We used to go to church every day. I was one of those kids that had more church clothes than school clothes."

"I called this doctor who was taking care of Rock Hudson. He said: ‘Do you have to kiss the actor?’ I said: ‘Yeah, it’s important in the script.’ He said: ‘Then I wouldn’t do the play.’ [Grey wrestled with it and chose the play and the kiss] I said: ‘I need to tell this story. As an actor it’s my job.’"

"Stick with it, be who you are. It’s going to be tough…But it’s also going to be beautiful."

"I had to find out the psychology [of the Emcee] and who he was off stage so that hopefully I could bring that biography into those numbers.."

"It does sort of transcend from stage to the camera and now behind the camera directing and in my writing. It’s like a bearing of everything. Even if it’s a funny song or a comedic scene. You are stripping yourself bare and showing them who you are, and I crave that."

"I am both inspired and melancholy to be gracing the stage where Wishful Drinking first took flight. I knew all of the stories, but I remember feeling proud to sit along with Tricia Leigh and Billie - feeling I was part-princess."

"Whenever I quit porn, I'll be starting at square one again—I am going to be where all my friends were ten years ago. I don't know if I want to have kids, so that is a huge issue right now in my mind, too..."

"I don’t like anything that makes fun of Asian culture or makes it look dumb. It’s such a thin line to walk and everyone draws that line someplace different. It’s such a subjective thing."
