"A lot of people in their 20s want to watch porn, but they think that what's out there is really boring or cheesy. So I'm changing everything to try and make a new form of porn for them. I make the dance shows, I make the rock tapes, man! I make the tapes about the bands, I make the action sequences, man! I give you the electronic music, I give you the good shit, you know? I am for the youth, man! By the youth, for the youth!"

--Pornographer Matt Zane, in SPIN

"I'd like to really show what I believe the men want to see: violence against women. I firmly believe that we serve a purpose by showing that. The most violent we can get is the cum shot in the face. Men get off behind that, because they get even with the women they can't have. We try to inundate the world with orgasms in the face."

-Porn actor and activist Bill Margold, quoted in Stoller and Levine's Coming Attractions

"People want more. They want to know how many dicks you can shove up an ass...It's like Fear Factor meets Jackass. Make it more hard, make it more nasty, make it more relentless....You need a good guy, who's been around and can give a good scene, fuckin'em hard. I did my homework. These guys are intense."

-Pornographer Mitchell Spinelli

"(George Michael) came out in the 90's as a gay man, which hardly mattered at Madison Square Garden to the thousands of female fans who squealed when he strolled a catwalk into the middle of the area. Videos filled with female models, showgirls, and prostitutes, he said, were for the many boyfriends who "have been dragged along here tonight."
