00:00I do kind of paintings and drawings that I think will shock people.
00:12I do think that perversion is just kind of like saying you're human.
00:16Porn has always been there, you know.
00:18I love you, Kristen.
00:20I love you, too.
00:21You are a good sex slave.
00:23Every director's movie, it's something from your own personality inside.
00:31There's always people like, you know, to try and do something different.
