- [on co-starring in Kayden Kross' Drive (2019)] I was blown away. I was like, this is nothing anyone in porn has seen before - and by a powerful female director. That's something a lot of people don't talk about: how many more female directors there are in porn than in Hollywood, and the women are the ones winning awards.
- [about going all in with porn performing] I realized I had such a passion in me for doing sexual performance.
- [how Disney treated young actresses] You had to be virginal, but you also had to be sexual. The issues mainly came from Disney, and that it wasn't so much with the cast members. It was more the whole Disney machine back then, especially back in the late '90s and early 2000s when the girls were treated like meat.
