I'd like the Committee to take a look at this interview. It's understatement is fine art. From Lukeisback:

Venus Interview

We talk Tuesday afternoon on the set of Ariana Jollee: No Holes Barred.

She's been in porn for eight years and describes herself as a "big whore."

She qualifies: "I'm not a hooker. I do it because I like it."

Trent Tesoro is intimidated by the five page release form. "They're like tests. I get answers wrong. It's a lot of pressure."

Venus leafs through the release. "I should read it," she admits. "I have no idea what they're saying in here."

I lie down beside her and we get comfy.

I say in my most confidential and intimate voice, as though for the first time: "When you were a little girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Venus: "I changed my mind all the time, but I wanted to be a marine biologist because I like fish. But I sucked at math and science. I've always liked writing. I still do.

"I've always wanted to be a model."

Duke: "What did your family expect you to become?"

Venus: "Nothing."

Duke: "How old were you when you lost your virginity?"

Venus: "Fourteen."

Duke: "Your boyfriend? A family member?"

She laughs. "I knew that was coming. Not a boyfriend. A football player in highschool."

She left home at 15.

She spent her first 18 years living up and down the East Coast. Then she moved to Las Vegas and then Los Angeles at 19. "I started doing magazine stuff for a year. I took everything slow. I did girl-girl for a couple of years. Then boy-girl."

Venus says she's never dated anyone inside the industry. She says she had kids with an asshole and stayed with him for five years.

Duke: "How did your family react to your becoming a porn star?"

Venus: "My parents are Southern Baptist so we don't mention it. We ignore it. It doesn't exist. Don't ask."

Duke: "Did you go to church every week growing up?"

Venus: "Three or four times a week."

Duke: "So what happened?"

Venus: "I had too much church. I never made it back."

Duke: "What are your life ambitions?"

Venus: "To see the world. To be content with me as a person. I want to create at least one masterpiece of art in this business."

Duke: "What part of your work do you find most meaningful?"

That stumps her for ten seconds. "Oh G-d. Porn is a certain stress release. It suits me. I pay my bills. I enjoy what I do. That's it."

I hear a yell from the bedroom. Genesis Skye has a chipped tooth. Trent was slamming her mouth down on him and he got cut in a sensitive area.

He cleans up and goes back to work.

I loved the way Avy kept interupting (from the interview format it appears this way) to ask about Mike Ramone

Does he actually run a recorder and does the interviewee know?

When I use my recorder, it is always in plain view. To get the best sound quality, I have to keep it close to my subject's mouth.

Luke to get the best sound quality,try doing it this way.

I try that on every first date.
Strangely, I reman alone,
