Pornography Quote by James Franco
“I think if anybody who has made a home sex tape knows, what feels best doesnt always look best. I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, Oh, that looks horrible. You have a lot of respect for those actors in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, theyre really selling it.”
