I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.
I'm not one to sit here and judge here. But I think it's funny that the people that condemn the adult industry the most are the ones consuming the product the most.
It's so easy to pick up a camera, white balance, and shoot people having sex, but I don't think there's anything very interesting about it. You might get off, but that's it.
From a creative standpoint, I'm interested not only in the idea of helping couples and women, but challenging myself creatively, and doing each one better than the last thing I did. I think by doing that, by adding a visual element to these films, it really makes a huge difference.
I think the big evolutionary step for me is directing my own movies.
A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.
I think people need something to believe in, because they don't want to have control over their own lives. They'd rather be able to blame it on an unknown being, or a greater god, or a greater spirit of sorts. And I think it's easier for them to blame it on that.
I think there are very few people, in my generation at least, that are that passionate about what they do.
I've been writing since I was 10 or 11. I started with poetry because that was the easiest thing. It just kind of came naturally. I think at that time West Coast hip hop was huge; all these kids around me were like, 'I want to be a rapper.' But I'm a white girl, not going to be a rapper.
Promoting education is an effort that is close to my heart. Illiteracy contributes to poverty; encouraging children to pick up a book is fundamental.
Music is a passion of mine, so I also want to continue along that path, creating with my friends.
I must confess, I'm not the best cook. I make a mean salsa, as I like hot sauce and, you know, tacos, because I'm a California kid, and that's about it.
I don't think any human being/artist is 100% emotionally stable, based on the human condition and our emotions that relate to it.
'The Girlfriend Experience' was definitely the break-out. When it came out, I started getting other opportunities.
