"Sex Neu" which includes quotes from Nan Goldin, Sartre and Jung had a fairly promising start. "I gave these pictures to my literary agent around 2007, and he loved them and loved it, and he proposed publish them, "said Gray. "When I was young, I felt really impinge on my sexuality. And until I started having sex I was in college, I was guilty. And now it's just a continuation of my awakening sexuality. "

“Early on in my adult film career, I didn’t worry about the way people did my makeup or the way people did my hair, because it wasn’t part of my goal to be this bombshell sexpot—that just wasn’t part of my strategy,” said Grey. “Right now, I am pursuing acting outside of adult films.”
