“Oriana Small has pushed herself to the outermost extremes of what the body and mind are capable of—all before turning thirty years old—and now she’s made it an authentic read for the rest of us to marvel at, elevating the depravity and denial inherent in the pornographic arts to a singular literary experience.” —JAMES FREY, author of A Million Little Piecesand Bright Shiny Morning

“One of the most disturbing images to appear on the Internet this year may have been Dave Naz’s snapshot of his girlfriend, Oriana Small, still groggy from anesthesia, with her freshly extracted wisdom teeth arranged into a loose mound on her lolling, half-extended tongue.” 

—Jonathan Gold, LA WEEKLY

RC: “Is there anything that Ashley Blue won’t do on film?”

AB: “I don’t like vaginal sex. I will do it if it’s a DP, but I refuse to just get fucked in my cunt.”

—Howard Stern’s INSIDE THE PORN ACTORS STUDIO with Richard Christy
