[on his entry into the porn industry] As a swinger, I used to go to New York's Plato's Retreat sex club in the late '70s. And one of the guys that used to give parties got into porn. So one day, he calls me and says, "You should try it out." There were not a lot of black people doing porn back then, except for people like
Johnnie Keyes and
Desiree West. I started with the advent of video, and I was working with a lot of the '70s stars. Video was a lot faster, cheaper and easier to work with than 8mm film. I didn't have a problem with getting it up in front of a whole bunch of people.
