Did you do anything else before you entered the world of porn?  I worked as a chef, actually! I'm a really good cook.

So how did you actually start?  I was standing outside the restaurant I worked at, covered head to toe in fish goo, having a fag. I wasn't looking at my most glamorous! Some guy came up to me and asked if I had ever thought of glamour modelling, I didn't really believe he was serious, but called anyway, and did it. I started off with girl/girl stuff - everyone does, don't they?

What did your family think?  I only told my parents last year - I've been making movies over 2 years! I left it as long as possible, but it got to the point where I was worried they'd find out in a way worse than if it was just me telling them. My dad was like dads the world over, he was all protective, not very happy about it all. He's better now. My mum was just hoped I wasn't going with any Tom, Dick or Harry off the street, she was concerned about disease - she didn't realise the vigorous testing we all go through.

I heard you have a twin sister - that must make things interesting...  Yes, we're identical twins, and when I was doing all the photos, people kept coming up to her and saying they'd seen dirty pictures of her in such and such magazine. That's how she found out really, but she was quite cool with it. We've been offered loads of money to do photos and movies together - lots of people are into the whole 'twins' thing, but we're really not! She's married with kids so she won't do anything porno anyway, no matter how much money we got offered!

Do you worry incessantly that one day your Dad will accidentally see you in a movie?  I used to really worry, when I first started, that I'd be on the cover of an adult magazine, and that he'd go to the shops and see it! He's not really in a position to see me in a movie though, him and my mum are happily married and living together - he's not exactly an avid porn consumer...

So, your husband Darren. Does he get turned on watching you in your films? Do you?  Well, he edits them, and so for him it's work, it's like not taking your work home with you, but the other way round. When you're watching it in an editing frame of mind, you're thinking about the filming, not the sex. As for me, I can't even watch them, I hate seeing myself on film!

Have you ever been really sore after filming, like, sore for days? Has Darren had to go without sex because of your job?  Yes, when I work in the USA I get really sore, because it's back to back filming every single day - nonstop anal, vag, DP...but it's not that that makes you sore, it's all the different sized cocks one after the other - if a guy with a huge cock fucks me in the ass, and then straight after him, a guy with a smaller cock, the ass closes up, and is very sore when you come back to the large guy again. As for Darren, he's quite understanding if I come home and am taking painkillers and rubbing vaseline on my bits! I'll normally just use my hands or mouth instead.

Talking of the USA, how do you feel about the big HIV epidemic that happened on the porn circuit over there last year? Did you know any models affected?  I'd been in the USA around that time, came back to the UK a couple of weeks later. When it all blew up, I was terrified, more and more names were coming up every day, and I'd worked with some of them. I had 3 tests in the space of a week, but luckily I was clean. So were all the people I knew who had been on the list, thank God. After that, there was a big push to have condoms used in every movie, but it's not as easy as people think. Pornstars have very large cocks, and a lot of the time, the condom is too tight, and he won't be able to keep wood because the circulation is cut off!

So what percentage of your friends are pornstars?  It's difficult to make friends with the people you meet in the porn industry - we may get along well on the surface, but underneath we know we're all in competition with each other for work, so not many of my close friends are actresses as well.

What's your favorite part of your body?  Definately my boobs, they're all natural and 34C.

So, sex. Everyone probably asks this, but what's your favorite position?  I love it standing up, because it's more dynamic, more equal, you can look into each others eyes, and get really into each other. Actually, any unusual position is good, really.

And your favorite sex toy?  At the moment, my Rabbit - it's purple, with flashing disco lights! But they do have a tendency to give out just before I come...very annnoying!

What do you think about when you come?  If the boy or girl that I am shagging isn't really clicking, I think about really hot porn scenes I've seen and imagine myself in their place.

Do you come once, really explosively after a long build up, or do you orgasm lots during a scene, one after another?  It depends on how good the person I'm shagging is. If they're crap at trying to get me off, I have to work really hard to come, and will normally have just one big orgasm. If it's someone I really click with, though, it's great, I can come again and again during a scene and relax into it.

If you're really not in the mood to come during a scene, seriously, do you bother faking it, or do you just moan lots and get on with it?  I always try my best to come, even if I have to transport my mind to a totally different place and time. That's the thing about working in porn as well, when you watch it, you can really tell when they're faking it, especially in the American movies. I don't want to be like that!

What's the wierdest thing you've had to put in an orifice in the name of work?  A toilet brush for a photohsoot (it was all clean out of the packet and stuff, but still!)

What's the most unusual or creative scenario you have 'acted' in in the name of plot?  I had to play a witch in the film 'Burn' with Nicole Sheridan and Evan Stone. Everyone was really tall, and I was wearing this massive medieval dress which kept falling off because I was so small...They wanted me to speak in Ye Olde English and I just couldn't, it was really difficult! But I got the hang of it, and with everything else, they were...happy.

Do you ever get paranoid you're not quite wet enough for what he's about to do to you or do you shove a bit of lube up there beforehand?  If I know it's just not going to happen with them, and sometimes it just won't, then yes, I'll grab the lube. And then they'll be all, "Oh yeah baby, look how wet I've made you" and I'm thinking, "Shut up, you cocky bastard, it's lube!"

Having to make porno noises for a half hour scene must get quite weird. Do you just kind of moan really hard when you love what is happening, but then just do sort of 'maintenance moans' the rest of the time just to keep the interest?  It often depends on things like how good their equipment is. If it's expensive quality stuff, you can just stick with the natural noises and go with it because you know the cameras will pick up everything. But if it's more amateur equipment, you have to do every noise that bit louder, or it won't be heard, and the scene ends up being rubbish. It's difficult though, it's not natural bengmade to upstage your vocals, especially when you're not feeling it.

Do you always know what your co-stars are going to look like before you start, or have you ever turned up and thought, "oh my god, no"?  Usually I work with guys who I know, or who have been recommended by other male porn stars...sometimes plans change and someone new will arrive unexpectedly, but it's usually only when he's really gangly that I'm like, "You expect me to shag *that*?"

What *won't* you do in a movie and why?  I won't get spanked too much, not on the ass. Especially when it's someone I haven't worked with before, I don't know how far we can take each other. I will, however, spank other people quite happily, I love that!

Do you watch porn at home, to get off?  I do, but it's difficult because I know so many of the people in the movies that it just seems weird getting off on them! I prefer reading erotic stories because you can use your mind to see the characters rather than it all being there in front of you.

What type of porn turns you on the most?  I like straight boy/girl stuff, if it's good.

Are you into fetish at all? Doesn't doing vanilla straight porn all day as a job bore you and inspire a kinkier lifestyle?  I enjoy the aesthetic of it, but I don't get off on it that much, especially not while filming, I find it quite difficult.

Do you find lots of pornos follow the same routine of action and really couldn't give two shits wether the girl comes or not?  Oh totally - if you compare who gets what, the guy gets his dick sucked a LOT. So if you're not one of those girls who comes from penetration alone, it's not geared towards giving you an orgasm. If you're going to come in a scene, you have to take control and sort it out, if you come from getting head (which I do), you have to have them do it properly. Loads of guys can't give girls head for shit, they do this whole 'circle motion' shit, which may look nice on camera, but personally doesn't do much for me in the way of coming. If they want to make me come, they have to really get their tongue on and in it: just tickling the lips a bit won't do it: they've got to get their faces wet!

What do you think punters don't see at all in porn that they really should?  It's unrealistic how long those blowjobs can last! The girls will be there between takes, having to stretch and click their jaws because they're aching so much. They should put that in the outtakes, it might make guys think more.

Do you have any kooky hobbies that would entertain our readers?  I really enjoy going into very mainstream stores, such as Topshop, and trying on clothes with the curtains open, when I know people are watching. It turns me on when I can see guys looking, I flash way more skin than neccessary - I'll take off my knickers and everything even if I'm just trying on a top. It's very pervy.

Lastly, do you have an exit strategy? Plan to direct, produce, get out of the industry entirely?  Loads of actresses have aspirations to direct, but I'm not really into that, although I do love photography. Workwise, I'd like to set up and run a small cafe, I'd really enjoy that.
