Al Goldstein Discusses Acting Awards, Hookers and Larry Flynt

Wall Street investors, specifically, to back a new series Goldstein's doing with Ron Jeremy.

Goldstein: "I'm putting an ad in the Wall Street Journal next week. I'm creating a business where I'll be making porno films for businessmen - as a kind of fantasy. Instead of going on a cruise, or killing a Kodiak bear in Alaska, most of the world wants to see what it's like to be in a porno film. It's a whole new line. It's going to be called Al Goldstein's Erotic World. The ad copy will say, 'Al will lead you in a journey through a business venture that will probably not make you money, but you will have fun and excitement in the forbidden world of erotica.'

"And I'm the guide/leader. I'll make it clear that you won't make money. Your losses probably won't be more than several thousand. But you'll get a finished porno film. If you don't want to sell it outright it's up to you. If you want to be in the film, we'll put you in the film, but you'll have to be AIDS-tested. This is for Wall Street-types....like plastic surgeons....what's 25, 30 thousand to them? For a price of a Corvette, they can have the experience of their life.

"This is like a safari into the world of vaginas. I did my first one with Ronnie two weeks ago where these car dealers came up with $25,000 to make a fuck film. I hired Ronnie, and we made the film. The guys just wanted to walk around on the set. They don't even care if they lose money.

"I want you to see the film. I think I'm deserving of at least a nomination for supporting actor. Not only do I deliver five pages of dialogue, I eat pussy at the end. We're going to sell this one outright. Metro has made an offer. I'm in the film...Gloria Leonard...Sexa...not sexually. Ronnie wrote a really good script. It takes place in a used car lot. It's like a 2 1/2-day shoot. If you guys don't nominate me for supporting actor, you're going to pay. You know my fantasy? I want to be on the stage of the AVN Awards Show. I want to thank my mother...I want to cry...I want to thank my acting coach...I want to thank Stanislavsky. I want to whimper and cry and thank society that made me grateful for the taste of pussy. Oh this is going to be a moment. If I win, it'll even be better.

"Larry Flynt? I debated Jerry Falwell a couple of days ago. I thought it was good. Larry, looks like Mr. Potato Head, doesn't he? But Larry is courageous and a fighter. And I understand the reasons for basically an accommodation. We would have loved winning, but I don't see how Larry could have. Larry said even if he had won, he would not have changed the law. If he lost, the odds of a reversal with the courts not-so-liberal, might have been bad. Since he was facing 22 years, and we all concerned about Jimmy, his brother, and this is on the record...Jimmy's a fag...[Goldstein makes the same comment in a Court TV interview seen above]. Jimmy would be somebody's bitch. Larry knew that. Larry wanted to spare his brother exposure to some big black dude in prison. That's why he had the corporation plead guilty. It's unsatisfying but understandable. In a way I'm happy it happened this way.

"Larry's been seen as a fighter. Here you seem him as a pragmatic businessman. I love it because it puts me back up as the ultimate fighter. Larry was practical. I've never been practical. I understand why he did what he did, but I think it hurts his reputation has the ultimate warrior. If we were facing 22 years in jail it does change things. When I was on trial in Kansas, I had the same lawyer...[Paul] Cambria. Paul said would you cop a plea? I'm not proud to tell you...because I would have been a convicted felon...I said you know, I don't want to not be in my son's life...he was four year-old at the time. If I had the chance...give me the offer...I may take it.

"I never got the offer because the prosecutor wanted me in jail for 20 years. But you have no idea with a gun to your head...unless you're a rock...you get frightened. From a dramatic, journalist point-of-view, I'm disappointed. From an emotional point-of-view I have empathy. You can't say walk in Larry's shoes because he's in a wheelchair, but rolling in his wheelchair, you have to be a little more compassionate, I think. I would have loved him to be the warrior we hoped he was, he's not. His wheelchair has wheels of clay. That's a great line...use it. Don't steal it, use it.

"Tell Fishbein I'm ready to suck him off. I want the nomination. I'll blow him on his couch....next week I'll be in town, let's do lunch."

Gene Ross: "We'll talk about hookers."

Goldstein: "How much do you pay for girls?"

Ross: "It varies."

Goldstein: "I'm a $200 dollar john. Even Heidi Fleiss never charged me a $1,000. I told her I'm not Charley Sheen. I'm a Jew. I want early bird specials. If a girl is going to take my fat body, my appendage, my cock in her mouth, she's entitled to $200. How much fun is she going to have? Do you have some good working girls you use? I have a great one...what are you...a leg man, ass man?"

Ross: "Leg and ass man."

Goldstein: "I have a good one for you. I was paying her $200. She went up to $300. I told her, that extra money means a lot to me, let's do 2 for $500. She's beautiful and a great cocksucker. She's a great actress."

Ross: "I like a girl who can act like she likes taking a finger or a dick up her ass."

Goldstein: "I put my tongue up her ass. I think...is one of the best working girls. She's now in LA. She was in my New York apartment. Every day she stayed there I got a $100 credit. She stayed at the apartment five days, I got a $500 credit."
