Smut note: this short interview for Video World so I thought I'd post online for herstory's sake...
Michelle Raven onscreen is a nasty & insatiable slut,
but off-camera she's a laid back beautiful brunette
from down south. I really took notice of her in
A-Holes 4 having her ass invaded and decided I had to
chat with her and found her to be downright cool and
friendly. If you've had your head up your butt and
haven't alrady noticed this nymph's furious fuck
follies, interested perverts can find her getting it
on in: Hard to Swallow 9, American Bukakke 16, Tits Or
Tails 3, Rodney Moore's Goo Girls, Ass Lovers,
California Cocksuckers 20, Ass Clowns and Mission To
Uranus just to name a few. Take a look, because
Michelle is guaranteed to always get you off.
interview by Vinny Van Nuys
VW: What lead you the porn industry?
MR: The money. Money, money, money, that's it.
VW: Not the sex?
MR: No, the sex is a good benefit from it, but it's
the money that brought me in.
VW: The sex is like a bonus.
MR: Exactly, get paid to fuck the best in the world.
VW: Did you strip before you did porn?
MR: I did topless dancing in North Carolina.
VW: How did you happen to slip into porn?
MR: I was living in North carolina and I was working
for a small porn company there doing basically
everything from camera work to make-up. Then, when we
went to the 2000 CES, I got so many job offers and I
just did it.
VW: So, you got some experience behind the camera?
MR: Right.
VW: Then, you know what to do on the other side of the
camera when you're fucking.
MR: Exactly, it helps out.
VW: What was your impression of the adult industry
before you got involved in it?
MR: Before I got into any type of sex stuff, I would
have nothing to do with it. Never watched it, wouldn't
go to strip clubs, it just wasn't for me.
VW: What was your first exposure to pornography like?
MR: The first time I saw it I was in my teens and I
saw it at a friend's house and I got up and left.
Honestly, to this day I've maybe watched five movies,
so it doesn't do anything for me.
VW: It doesn't turn you on?
MR: Nope.
VW: Have you seen yourself in action?
MR: No, I don't watch myself. The way I see it is if I
watched myself and I might say, "Oh, I look like that?
I'm not doing it anymore."
VW: What was the first video you did out in L.A.?
MR: Cock Smokers for Extreme.
VW: So, you started things off with just a blow job
scene?
MR: Yeah.
VW: Which number Cock Smokers was it?
MR: I think it was like number 18.
VW: How many videos have you done?
MR: I've probably been in over 200.
VW: The first time I remember seeing you was in
A-Holes 4. You were damn hot.
MR: Thank you.
VW: How often do you work?
MR: I try to work a couple times a week. Sometimes
it's more, sometimes it's not at all.
VW: Were you nervous your first time on camera?
MR: Hell no! Wasn't nervous at all.
VW: I can hear the southern girl in you now.
MR: (laughing) Yeah, it comes out every once in
awhile.
VW: There's nothing wrong with that. Did you have a
lot of sex before you did porn?
MR: No, not really. I don't sleep around outside work.
VW: Do you have a significant other?
MR: Nope. I'm single and happy being single.
VW: Who needs that hassle, right?
MR: Oh, yeah.
VW: A hassle with a hard-on. So, how old are you?
MR: I'm 31.
VW: What are your measurements?
MR: 36c-20-36.
VW: You have great tits, if you don't mind me saying
so.
MR: Oh, thank you. Go right ahead.
VW: What was the best scene you remember doing?
MR: I don't know, but I like one-on-one scenes better.
Honestly, when I'm working I don't know which video
they're shooting for so I couldn't tell you a name.
VW: Are you bisexual?
MR: Yes.
VW: Do you like girls better then guys?
MR: No, I like girls as a little extra fun, but I
prefer to have a dick involved with it somewhere.
VW: You need the meat, right?
MR: (laughing) But not a strap-on, those things are
not worth it.
VW: It just isn't the same and the girls don't use it
like a guy.
MR: No, they can't fuck like a guy.
VW: What girls do you like working with?
MR: I like working with Zareena, Samantha Sterling...
Man, I don't know half of these girls' names.
VW: What guys do you like working with?
MR: I like working with Mark Wood, Byron Long, Sean
Michaels...
VW: You like working with the brothers?
MR: Oh yeah, and Brian Surewood is always good.
VW: Are these guys jerks or are they cool?
MR: Cool. That's what makes it cool working with them
because they're cool on and off camera. I like it to
be like a party, so if I'm having fun when it's off
camera it's going to be more fun when the camera's on.
VW: If it's not fun then what's the point?
MR: Exactly, then it's just work.
VW: What do you think about when you're in a scene
with a guy you don't like?
MR: It's just work for me when I'm in a scene. I'm
always making sure I know where the camera is and if
I'm making the right sounds.
VW: Because you're not fucking that guy, you're
fucking the guy at home looking through the camera.
MR: Exactly.
VW: It's about the fans. So, have you met a lot of
your fans?
MR: I get a lot of e-mails and stuff like that, but I
haven't really met many of them.
VW: You really don't want to met them, right?
MR: No, I wouldn't mind meeting them on my terms, but
I don't want them walking up to me somewhere.
VW: I always have to ask this question. Do you think
porn is degrading to women?
MR: No, because I think the biggest myth is that we're
forced to do things. We always know what we're going
to do before we walk on the set and it's our decision
to do it or not.
VW: Nobody has a gun to your head.
MR: Exactly, if you're choosing to do it, then how can
it be degrading?
VW: Do you think you get paid enough?
MR: Yeah, but of course I'd like more. (laughing) I
always want more, but I can work ten hours in a week
and more than what most people make in a month or two.
VW: Have you had any really bad experiences?
MR: No, I've been lucky I guess, because I haven't had
any really bad experiences.
VW: What position do you like the best?
MR: I like to be on my back with my knees behind my
shoulders getting pounded hard.
VW: Wow, that sounds good. Are you into anal?
MR: Yes, I love anal.
VW: Not many chicks like anal?
MR: Oh, really? I do, I always have.
VW: What are you going to do after porn?
MR: I'll probably go back to being an optician.
VW: Did you ever imagine that one day you'd be doing
this?
MR: No, I was totally straight before this. I was in a
women's group at my church. I wouldn't hug, would'nt
be around alcohol, wouldn't eat in a restaurant that
served alcohol.
VW: Wow, maybe that's why you are doing this now.
MR: Yeah! I got to go from one side to the other.
VW: Too much good makes you go bad.
MR: Yeah!
