SS: Your use of real depicted violence and sexual mutilation in PIG has been known to shock. How did that scene go about being filmed? I can imagine that being an awkward set-up.
NB: It was hard to find a victim who would agree to being in these scenes. After interviewing several people, everybody had some kind of phobia. This one guy eventually came along and said we could do anything to him as long as we didn't kill him. He was a huge fan of Rozz. We shot all the torture scenes in one day. I believe the first day of shooting was the day after I got married and I had just got back from Las Vegas. It was shot in Rozz's basement. I wasn't always sure what Rozz would do next. He would not only follow the script, but would improvise, and I would direct him visually in the scenes. The torture victim had the title of the movie PIG carved in his chest. He also had a syringe put thru his nipples and penis (and a tube inside his penis). He also had a syringe inside the veins of his arms. Rozz missed the vein in one of the torture victims arms and he did came to the point of changing his mind. He started screaming "no more torture, I will do anything else." This was fine because at that point we already got what we needed.
