Hey folks, the vast majority of people reading this thread are not in Los Angeles so you’re not aware that it’s spawned a total media circus. Brian is being tried and convicted in television. The things that people say on this site and elsewhere are ending up on the news and being taken out of context. (I had to pull our podcast files down because it’s overwhelming our bandwidth allotment.)
So, if you’re posting here please be careful how you choose your words. You weren’t there so you don’t know what happened. However, your words can and will be used in the court of public opinion to convict Brian.
ADT has since reposted the interview clips.
On the ADT show, Brian proudly shows off his weapon collection.
Interviewer: "We’re in the house of Surewood. It looks like a medieval torture museum."
Brian chuckles. "I have a few weapons, huh?"
Interviewer: "How long have you been working on this collection?"
Brian: "About five or six years."
"A lot of the weapons I have have skulls and crossbones on it. I’m really into skulls and crossbones. I’m into medieval type stuff. Battleaxes. I have a couple of good swords."
"I’ve always been into pirates. I got dubbed as a pirate in this business."
Interviewer: "You’re flying the black flag. …You’re pulling the big ship over and taking the women and the gold."
Brian: "It sounds like good ol’ days. Unfortunately the laws apply today."
"I went into porn because it was just so much easier."
"I am so bad with names. I’ve smoked a whole bunch of pot."
"Nothing like a good rape and pillage [talking about some of his roles]."
David: "He’s brought a lot of guys into the industry and mentored them. Mr. Pete would be the first to tell you that Surewood brought him into the industry."
"Surewood has a generosity of spirit that I find rare anywhere."
"When [women] meet him, I’ve seen the turnaround from if they’ve just seen his picture and then when they’ve met him, oh, I can work with him."
Brian: "I’m an ugly mug."
"A couple of times I’ve walked on set and they’re run out screaming. I was coming into Voltron’s house [Wanker Wang] through the backdoor and she saw me stomping through the bushes and she screamed and ran."
David: "And Wanker loves him too, which goes to prove his [Brian’s] sense of humor. This guy can charm any director out there."
Brian: "I like Wanker."
"Sex is like a drug. The more you have, the more you want."
"I grew up in Van Nuys near World News, a big porno warehouse. It was on the train tracks close to my house. I’d always go play on the train tracks when I was a kid. I used to climb up into their dumpster. It was like heaven because it was filled with pornography. I’d jerk off in the dumpster."
"I did a lot of smoking pot and surfing. I didn’t have too many ambitions in life. I drifted into this."
"My friend’s dad owned Penguin Productions with John Holmes."
"My brother did everything he could to keep me out of the business. My brother’s an asshole. He’s got a bad attitude. I stay away from him as much as possible."
Brian: "This business has turned me around because you can’t mix hard drugs and sex. It just doesn’t work."
Interviewer: "At least for the guys."
David: "Surewood is one of the most pleasant but most implacable agents of karma I’ve known in my life."
Brian: "I like to call myself Karma’s Little Helper. "
"I’m always fair and honest and straight up with everybody."
David: "He’s the kind of guy who stands up for the little guy."
Brian: "I love women. Latino, Chinese, Asian, it doesn’t matter. I like ’em all."
Interviewer: "You’ve got a cool car, right?"
Brian: "I’ve got the Camaro and a cool ’68 Chrysler Impala."
Brian passed for an intellectual in porn because he liked to smoke pot and watch the History Channel.
In a movie for director Tom Zupko, Surewood climbed on a cross and got fellated.
