Colorado-born Juli Ashton has the reputation of being a nice girl in a not-always-so-nice business. She graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Spanish and History, working as a nightclub waitress to put herself through college. She taught Spanish in a junior high school for a year, but her striking looks and spectacular figure weren't meant to be cooped up in a classroom, and in 1990 she began appearing in adult films. She has also had smaller roles in "mainstream" films, most notably in the Trey Parker/Matt Stone comedy Orgazmo (1997), in which she played Steffi. In addition to her film work, she has appeared as a model in many magazines and toured as an exotic dancer. Despite the pressures of the business she has been in, she still manages to radiate a girl-next-door personality (she has, with some justification, been compared personality-wise to actress Lisa Kudrow), and is an avid camper and a devotee of Mexican cuisine. Currently she is involved with a management group called Risqué Business. Show less «

I am quite proud [of my scenes and movies] because I don't act during the sex. I am pretty transparent with my emotions, so I can't fake things. I think that comes through in the movies that I am enjoying myself and having a fun time. I don't have to act. Show less «

I think that the adult industry and the people in it, walk a really fine line between responsibility and art. I tend to lean toward the responsibility side. I don't like violence and drama with my sex. There is enough drama in my real life. I don't need to watch it on screen. To me, sex is joy; it's funny; it's lighthearted; it should be fun, so I would prefer to do things like that rather than the mental deep, dark stuff. It just doesn't do anything for me. Show less «

[asked to describe what she was like growing up] I was a pretty straight-laced, nerdy kid. My mom was a teacher in the school district. I grew up there and knew all the teachers. It was a real small town so I got away with absolutely everything, but didn't do that much that needed getting away with. I was just a pretty mellow, do-what-I-was-told kid. Show less «

[asked about The Devil in Miss Jones 6 (1999), the adult video she made with Scott Schwartz] It was a lot of fun. We worked with a lot of new people behind the scenes who weren't in the adult industry. It was fun to have them bring in their enthusiasm because they had never done anything like that. And Scotty was just so professional and it was really fun to act with him and he's a nice guy. It was a great movie. Show less «

[on whether the minimum age of 18 should be raised to enter the porn industry] Absolutely. It's such a life-altering career like no other, so the things you do when you are 18 will effect you for the rest of your life, so I don't think 18-year-olds know enough about themselves and know enough about the world to say, "I am going to shut this entire spectrum off," because it is. I mean, I could never go back to teaching. Who is going to let me hang out with their kids? We are all [the adult industry] opponents of child pornography and the fact is, that it's not like the kids would ever know. If the parents knew, it would be a huge scandal, so I have to write that off in my life. When you are 18, how do you know? And you're not experienced enough and you don't know what you want to be when you are 40... Show less «
