[on her career after porn] When you come from the adult film business people feel like that's all you. But I made it happen. I got into music and signed a deal with Island Records, and then I signed [with] Tommy Boy Records after that. I've worked with Scott Storch, DJ Premier, Wyclef Jean and all my friends that were supporting what I was doing and helping me change my life. I wrote a novel and I opened an art gallery in Brooklyn. I had a show on Playboy TV with Sir Mix A Lot. And I ended up getting my own show on BET called "The Peep Show". I have two online magazines. You have a lot of adult stars that can't get into magazines like "Smooth" and "Maxim". I'm creating [publications] to showcase them in a very classy way. Show less «

[on her early porn career] When I started in the business, I was being billed as being black and Italian. I had to hurry up and nip that in the bud and let people know I was proud to be African-American. And then there were the titles of the movies. My manager and I didn't really want to do any stereotypical titles like "Chocolate Swirl". The porn companies did not give contracts to black girls back then. And I just felt, "Well, why can't the African-Americans do that?" And when I got signed to Vivid in 1990, I became the first black female to be under contract. Show less «
