Interview With Ashley Blue - October 21, 2002
On The Set of "Anal Excursions 4" in Los Angeles, CA
PornstarEmpire.com: So how did you get into the adult film business?
Ashley Blue: I answered an ad that said nude modeling. I said I would consider it. I went into this office and it was porno, so here I am. I went home and got my boyfriend and said, 'Hey, you want to try this?' He was pretty eager to accept, so we did it and we really like it. And I think it's great.
Q: Why adult films, and why the adult business in general?
Ashley Blue: The money was really enticing. And my boyfriend and I were pretty open sexually. I'm not an exhibitionist, but I really like the feeling of being on camera. It's fun.
Q: What's the best part about working in adult films?
Ashley Blue: It's a job with a lot of freedom. I make a lot of money and have great sex and it opens a lot of doors sexually, and I learn things. And I get plenty of time off to go on vacations and do other things.
Q: What's the worst part? What don't you like?
Ashley Blue: The same with any job. When your personality clashes with someone you have to work with.
Q: When you are doing a scene with somebody how do you get around the fact that you are with some one that isn't your type, personality clash, whatever?
Ashley Blue: Then you have to get it in your head that this is just something really dirty. I get off to that. I get off to the sleazy part of it. If some one's unattractive I go on just being filthy.
Q: Who do you like working with?
Ashley Blue: I like working with my boyfriend, Trent, and so many people! Ben English, Brian Sherwood, Frazer, Marcus. [laughs] I like working with a lot of people.
Q: Is there any one you don't like to work with?
Ashley Blue: I don't like working with Brian Pumper too much.
Q: How has working in the adult film industry affected your personal life?
Ashley Blue: Bringing up my career choice is like bringing up politics or religion around people you don't know. It can lead to people giving you their judgment - passing judgment on me. I don't talk about it with strangers too much. Other than that it has been great. I've met so many nice people and friends in this. My boyfriend and I have so much time together it's affected our relationship in a positive way.
Q: When you started working in adult films what did you expect?
Ashley Blue. I honestly I didn't know what to expect. We were just taking it one day at a time. Maybe I expected something that was going to be a bit seedy or shady, but I've been proved so wrong. It's very legal, very legitimate.
Q: You talked about your boyfriend. How has your relationship changed if at all?
Ashley Blue: It's brought us much closer. We share something that's so special that another couple outside of porn that those other couples don't have. It's a business, and its like we're in business together. We take care of each other more, I think.
Q: Where did you grow up?
Ashley Blue: In Southern California, not to far from here.
Q: What was that like?
Ashley Blue: Boring as hell. I moved out to Hollywood for some excitement, and by god I found it. [laughs]
Q: What were people's attitudes towards sex when you were growing up? Was it like very closed-minded?
Ashley Blue: Yes, yes! Very! I kept my promiscuity to myself mostly. Secret Slut. [laughs]
Q: Does your family know?
Ashley Blue: I haven't told them. I don't really want to bring it up. It's only been seven months. If I keep doing this it's going to come out. As long as I'm happy and healthy and things are going well I don't want to rock that boat. Because, maybe, I'm afraid of what they'll say, but hopefully they'll be wrong.
Q: So do you want to keep doing this?
Ashley Blue: Yeah, I think so. I think so.
Q: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Ashley Blue: God, how old will I be? In ten years I have no idea. [laughs] I don't know.
Q: Would you like to get into working more behind the camera?
Ashley Blue: If I learn something about it. I like being in front of the camera and making money doing that. I want to do a lot of different things. Like we're going to Europe in two weeks. That's exciting. Maybe we'll be in Europe, living there in ten years.
