Traci Lords at an event for Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

Quotes

Traci Lords

  • [asked about her role as Jordan Radcliffe on First Wave (1998)] I jokingly refer to it as the DKNY Militia because she always looks great. When she's battling the aliens, she's always got the best leather pants on.
  • My parents never got along. It was a very ugly scene to be a part of.
  • [about her porn career] No one put a gun to my head and said "you have to do this."
  • [about her porn career] I was really young, I was really stupid about some things.
  • I hate the phrase "former porn queen." That part of my life was a long time ago. Think of something else to call me... I'm successful in spite of my past, not because of it.
  • [about porn industry] You know, I can tell you from my personal experience that I've never met a happy porn star.
  • [about what drove her to porn industry] My damage drove me into porn. I mean, I was a little girl. And I had like all of this stuff. I'd been raped. I'd been molested. I'd been abused. I was messed up. And I was angry. And the same thing that later helped me to change my life when I was 18 and out of that world that helped me to get sober and helped me to gather the courage to go and do the work I needed to do, to look at some things in my life that were so ugly.
  • [about her first time at an X-rated set] Yeah, it was scary. It was very scary. I was really young, and I was really inexperienced sexually.
  • [About her porn career] It was never about sex or an obsession with sex or a need for sex or anything. It was about drug addiction. For me, all porn ever was was drugs. I had no inhibitions or morality or sense of anything. All I cared about was getting high. It was always about drug addiction.
