Quote
1
To this day, I can't watch my own sex scenes.
2
Though watching porn may seem degrading to some women, the fact is that it's one of the few jobs for women where you can get to a certain level, look around, and feel so powerful, not just in the work environment but as a sexual being. So fuck Gloria Steinem.

[on Cindy Crawford] I kept getting a weird vibe from her. I knew what it meant, because I'd experienced it so many times before, but I kept dismissing it. It couldn't be true; she was Cindy Crawford. When I turned my back... Cindy reached over and rubbed the back of my neck. "Ooh", she cooed. "Look at your beautiful tattoo." She touched my neck so softly and sensually.

The moment you become a porn star, you will always be a porn star for the rest of your life.
5
I don't know exactly what I'm going to say to my sons, but I do know that I want them to understand that their mother loves them. I don't worry about what people think. I worry about what my sons think.
6
Making eye contact during rough sex is roughly the equivalent trying to read Fyodor Dostoevsky on a rollercoaster.
7
The funny thing about being a porn star is that everyone automatically assumes that they can sleep with you. This is what I do for a living. I don't just let anyone get into my pants.
8
I know that when I do get pregnant, I won't step one foot in the adult industry again.

[in response to a question at the 2003 X-Rated Critics Organization Awards] Is it just me, or is a porn award show just not the right place to be discussing your thoughts on the war?
10
I try my hardest to push the point that I am a feminist. I really think it's important that people know that the women in this industry are empowered. They run it, man. It's awesome.
