Tom Sizemore: The Mr. Skin Interview

Did you ever think your home video would be made available to the public? If not, were you surprised when it turned up online? How did you react?
Absolutely. The people at my house were too thefty. I made my peace with it. I only got concerned about my Mom. I am in treatment ... look it's just sex. If people didn't have sex there would be no people. The sex tapes (nervous laughs) ... it figures, you know. It's like the maraschino cherry on my banana split of bad luck.

How did the tape come to exist?
I have been shooting a documentary so I had cameras going all the time, 24/7, because I knew it was going to be a really bad time to see a movie star lose everything with all the court issues and Heidi [Fleiss]. I didn't think I would really lose everything. When you have $14 million you don't think you're going to go broke. When people ask me how I did it I say gradually and then suddenly.

Regarding the sex tape, I don't really give a shit about it. Frankly I don't care, whatever, people watch it, they don't, they can get disgusted, I don't care, I have a really big dick so ... I am proud of my phallus and I don't think I look bad in any of that stuff.

I am a total gentleman to all of the girls, I am a gentleman, I am not some schlep-rock Fred Flintstone. If this were Liz Hurley, she would have already cornered the people and had them tasered and be emptying their pockets.

Whoever watches it, that's my dick.

So you've been taping other events for the past three years?
Yes. I knew based on Heidi's contacts in her book and the fact that the LAPD kept raiding my house that it was going to be bad. I had SWAT or Comptec or whoever that vigilante group was raid my house eleven times.

I am an actor, not Al Qaeda. I get paid to say lines and wear makeup. Heidi told me that she was going to take everything.

Part of it was also to have an outlet for someone to hear me. I am a college graduate, I am not an idiot. If things went really south, I wanted something left to tell the story.

Where did the taping take place and over what period of time?
It was not uncommon to shoot for fun or just because. When you have nine women all the time, you start to think that you will run out of things to do. It's a time-management issue. We would watch a movie and then make our own or just turn on the camera and go at it. I love acting, I love women.

Would you do something like this again or do you regret it?
I don't have sexual jealousy and I am not embarrassed, if that's what you mean. I was a hairsbreadth away from being a major movie star, I am a movie star, I had $14 million and had, at any time, between six and nine girls living in my house there for me. Who would regret that? I will get it all back. I have two words: not guilty. The appeals court will prove that.

Have you seen other celebrity sex videos such as those featuring Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, and pro-wrestler Chyna? If you have, what is your opinion of them?
I couldn't tell them apart; it was too dark.

Who are the women in the video with you? Are you still in contact with them? How do they feel about the video being made public?
Girls. I have had lots of women and I had about nine living with me on and off. Some stayed, some went. I only stay in contact with women I am fucking. I like tight asses and flat stomachs, so those I will still talk to.

You are acclaimed for your many great performances in Hollywood movies; how do you think you come off on this video?
Like I said I made peace with it. I have a really big dick. I have always known it so what's the worst that can happen, I get more? It's out there, it's obviously me. Come on, who else has Heidi tattooed on their crotch? I have bigger things to deal with right now, like myself.

If you were going to make another video like this one with three famous women, who would your co-stars be?
Belladonna, first and foremost, plus Lanny Barbie and Tera Patrick. Those, to me, are the three hottest women in motion pictures.

How do you think the release of this video will affect your Hollywood career?
I can't see it would be bad. Men like sex like women like sex. I could do worse things. I like women. They are soft, they smell good; I am hard, why would I want to be with hard? I want the opposite of me.

Hollywood is forgiving and they have sex too. If Hollywood turns on me for this instead of the drugs that would be ... look I am in rehab. I am working on me. People have sex, I have sex, and I have a good time as well, that's what the tapes will probably show.

I am a big fan of free speech and having fun. They made a movie like that about Larry Flynt, the last bastion of free speech.

How does the taping of real-life sex compare with performing a love scene for a Hollywood movie?
You actually get to put your cock in them. For me it's not just about sex; it's about having a good time and having fun--a lot of fun. Sometimes I think I have had a little too much fun and then I remember all the hot women I have been with. Anyone can fuck, but it's a time-management issue when you are trying to work, have sex and fun.

What's next for you, Tom?
I am in negotiations on a TV show and I have movie offers waiting for when I get out of here and the court lets me work again.

The only way I would do this again--any of it--was if I got $20 million and got to keep it and couldn't get in trouble. I just want to act again.

I love acting and I think I am really good at it. I hazard to say that I might be one of the best actors of my generation. I will come back hard and fast from, if nothing else, sheer will to succeed. I have more responsibility now.
