And he's a damn fine actor-slash-porn-star to boot.

What's next for you? I start covenant school next semester and I fuck on the first date. Ha. I don't know. Hopefully Jet Set wont throw me to the curb and I'll continue to work on Wet Palms. I start school back up in the fall and then, you know, I'll make a million dollars and live out by the sea. Have a husband and children. Yeah, I guess I want a family.
