Quotes

I'm not coming from a position of desperation or victimization. I couldn't handle the office world, so I went into porn. Girls with bad pasts don't grow up to graduate from college and get a job on Wall Street. I'm clearly an adult who had an education who chose this path.

There's a lot to be done and I want to be a part of it. Porn is an inefficient market and it is not sleazy. It's a business like every business. There are a lot of frontiers that have yet to be explored. I'm not going to be the savior of porn, but I think I can make some noise.

The movies I'm interested in making have better story lines than ,"Hi, I'm a nurse why don't you have sex with me?" My movie [Screwing Wall Street (2015)] has a much more interesting story line than typical porn. Instead of buying stocks, I'm having sex to have information to trade on. And I helped make the script more consistent with finance. For example, the script referred to junk bonds and I told them, "It's not the '80s. They have mortgage-backed securities now."

Porn needs to do what Apple did and add value with the way porn is consumed.

Porn for the long haul, yes. I just screwed myself from doing any other kind of job. Obviously porn is what I wanted.

[on deciding to pursue a career in porn] It was always something that was in the back of my mind. I used to always say actually that if I wasn't smart, I would do porn meaning I wouldn't do it because it wasn't financially viable to me. I figured I had to be this big business woman and do what society tells me to do. Then I [asked myself]. "Why did those two things have to be mutually exclusive"?. And that realization occurred in October [of 2014] and I started doing all this research into the industry and thinking about it as an actual option. Originally I was thinking of being an analyst in the industry somewhere, do something in porn maybe not as a porn actress. But then I thought, "I was a stripper for four years, men think I'm hot, I love sex, I've got this!". And a star was born, I guess.

[on what she likes in a man] I like masculinity, and dominance, and decisiveness. And an overactive libido. Consciousness about his health and well-being. Both mentally and physically.

[on how she was as a kid] I was always a rule breaker [and] somewhat of a troublemaker, but also really nerdy and studious. I was an only child.
