Quotes

[about her early porn career] I only did movies with Black men my first year because that's what I was used to [laughs]. I really didn't see the white side of porn for a while. And then they started calling me. There was one white boy who rocked my world, so that's when I figured, "This is not bad." But the white girls wanted to get more money for having sex with a Black dude than they would get for a normal scene. That was pretty much the first thing that made me go, "Wow, that's pretty damn racist." Of course I saw the unequal pay between whites and Blacks. I realized I couldn't get a contract with certain companies because I was Black. I didn't have that certain exotic look that they wanted.

I don't like it when prejudice comes into a business, especially when you're doing something as "out there" as pornography. Take features with titles like Buttman -- there are no black women ... I give a good performance in every video, and everyone tells me that, "You are a good actress, all your scenes are so hot." I would like one chance to be on a Vivid box cover, to just see how terrible sales would be ... None of my fans are picking up Vivid boxes because it's not what they want to see.

Stay true to yourself. You can get lost in this industry. There are a lot of temptations that could rob you of your health, your money, and your sanity. It's best to try to surround yourself with positive people, in and out of the industry. Have some "real world" around you at all times.

[on the biggest misconception about women in porn] That we always want to fuck. Why is it that I get two gazillion e-mails from guys going, "Janet, I'll pay you $350 for a date." It doesn't work like that, dude. I'm not a whore. I have sex for a living, on set, in films to make money. I think there's a difference. And I guess people think we always want to fuck. No. I have my bad days like anyone else. And really, porn stars don't fuck as much as some of the girls do in real life. Some of them get a lot more than we do.
