He later said in interviews that it made him uncomfortable when he would see those particular photos displayed in later publications, as he was underage when they were taken.

Popular Dialogues

"Bob Mizer: Sun, schmun. This scoundrel's on some kind of a drug trip. [Looks at David] Bob Mizer: You. I warned you. We do not slap wrists here at AMG. I want you to take your weed-head friend here, and I want you to scram. I mean it! [David picks up his friend] Bob Mizer: And don't come back! Ever! [looks down at their naked behinds as they walk out] Bob Mizer: Not until you've learned your lesson!"
