AVN: What do you think it means to win Best New Starlet?

Naomi: I guess exactly what it means — out of the new people that came in, I guess they chose me because they liked [me]. I'm not really reading too much into it. I don't want to say this, because it's probably going to be interpreted the wrong way, but I really just don't see what the big deal is. I'm doing porn. I divorced my ex-husband, I quit my job, said I'm going to do this; I didn't expect to win any awards or be famous or even be known as much as I am. I'm grateful for the opportunities and everything … beyond that, I really don't see what the big deal is. That sounds really bad, I know.

AVN: Do you want to comment at all on having not been at the Awards Show?

Naomi: Like I said, I didn't see what the big deal is, I wanted to go home, I had things to do at home, and I kind of just said to myself, "You know what? What are you sitting around here for, then? Just go!" I don't know, I just see so many bigger fish to fry than spending money on a dress and going out and doing this whole spiel. So I just didn't, because I guess I kind of feel like the greatest good for me and for the people that I take care of was not to sit around and spend all of this time and energy doing this, versus going home and getting things together back at home.
