Q: Can you tell us how you entered the adult industry?
It was when I was in college. I was found on MySpace ā back when MySpace was actually cool to get on ā and they asked me if I would do a blowjob scene for a certain amount of money. So I was like, āSure, why not?ā I was a poor college student ā why not? I already do it in my personal life; why not do it on camera?
Thatās kind of how I started because I did a couple more scenes with them and then I found out thereās like this whole porn industry and I branched out from there.
Q: And how long have you been in the industry?
Going on five or six years now. (Laughs) Itās been forever, it seems like.
Q: Do you enjoy being in the adult business?
Yeah. I mean, it does have its ups and downs ā it hasnāt really had its downs yet ā but everyone has their ups and downs. But Iāve loved it. I donāt see any reason to quit; I donāt see any reason to stop or anything like that. I enjoy it. I think itās fun; it gives you opportunities.
Q: You recently had a role in the Captain America XXX parody from Extreme Comixxx, is that right?
Yeah. I was really excited when I found out that Exquisite wanted to have me for Captain America. Having a sex scene in a parody is always a big deal and that was my first parody ever. I was five years in the industry and finally got a parody.
I really enjoyed the fact that I was able to work with a company I do like to work with: Exquisite. They are extremely professional and very nice and to be able to work on a set with all people that I like ā especially the legend, Sean Michaels. I think he is just an awesome legend. He was just so sweet and to have the opportunity to do a scene with him and get such great reviews for this parody, I was very excited.
It was very, very long hours: I was on set at 8:00 PM and didnāt start my sex scene until six in the morning. (Laughs) And I acted the whole time. So, it was different; it was something that I never got to experience yet, so it was fun.
Q: I believe I read somewhere also that you appeared in the Anchorman XXX parody for New Sensations?
Yeah. They had me on as a secretary. I love Anchorman in general ā the actual movie. It was when they went to their newscast station; they walked in and I was the secretary there and I had a couple lines. That was another great set to be on because a couple producers who work for Exquisite also work for New Sensations, too, so it was kind of like being with the people from Exquisite, but two days later youāre back on set with New Sensations. It was kind of like the same atmosphere. I got to see India Summer and everybody. It was just great seeing them all in character and being part of that as well.
Q: Iām not sure if this is still ongoing, but you also had a role on Playboy TVās Foursome program, is that right?
(Laughs) Oh, no. How did you find that one?
Q: I was just doing some research for the interview and happened upon it. (Laughs)
Oh, yeah. Itās only one time that youāre on it. They find four people for that episode and itās always a new episode with different people.
Yeah, itās not always the same people. Itās not like Real World or anything like that. Itās four different people each episode.
I donāt know ⦠it was an experience. It was out of New York City. I cast for it and they didnāt want me to say, āHi, Iām Jacky Joy,ā they wanted me to say, āHi, Iām Justine and Iām from New York.ā Everyone was supposed to be based out of New York and a lot of the people who were on there I highly doubt came from New York.
So, it was an experience. They took us to a house ā they said it was one of the Playboy houses that they use when they come out there. But I donāt think I could ever do that experience again because they put you in a house with no pool or hot tub. It was just four floors and the top was kind of like a deck. (Laughs) No T.V., no cell phone, no Internet ā no communication for two days. They made me get there at 6:00 AM the first day and they put you in a limo ā because they want you to roll up in a limo ā and they take your phone. And Iām like, āFuck! Youāre taking my phone? This is my life; what am I going to do?ā (Laughs)
Thereās supposed to be four good-looking people in a house together and I felt like I got the shitty end of the stick. No offense to Playboy ā I love them and it was an experience all in itself ā but the people I was stuck with, I thought I was going to commit suicide there in that house. (Laughs)
I had three other people: Two guys and a girl. The girl was kind of like Teresa from The Real Housewives of New Jersey: You know, that very loud, kind of throw-it-on-the-table and she knows everybody kind of person.
The other two ⦠one looked like Ricky Martin ā the gay version of Ricky Martin. Is Ricky Martin gay? I think he might be, actually. (Laughs)
Sorry about that. But itās that kind of guy. And then another guy who I thought was really cool and when we first started to film, he started to get sick because apparently where he bartends he was there until six in the morning bartending and then he had to go do this. Eventually, he was like, āGuys, I canāt do this. I have to leave.ā
So they brought somebody else in and they kind of tried to pair us up with the people. But the person they brought in ⦠I was mortified. I never saw anybody so hideous in my entire life that they brought in and I had to hold hands with and they wanted me to do stuff with. I was mortified. (Laughs)
The whole time if you watched it ⦠they maybe edited it into me looking like I was a crazy, psycho person because I had to entertain myself with the fact that I had nobody really that I wanted to socialize with and I had no communication with the outside world.
Q:It definitely sounds like quite the unique experience.
It definitely wasnāt Real World or anything. Real World they have interact communication and they can go out to clubs and the whole nine yards. This one was like, āOkay, weāre going to lock you in here for two days and youāre going to do what we want.ā And Iām like, āOhhh!ā (Laughs)
Q: Oh, wow. I wanted to ask as well: You have a business degree, is that right?
Yes. I graduated from college in May.
Q: And you attended Penn State University for a time as well?
Yes, I did. My first three years I attended Penn State. I left only because at the time when I left they werenāt offering online classes. At the time, online classes were kind of a new thing: Some schools tried it, some didnāt. Not like nowadays ā everyoneās like online completely.
So I had to transfer out of Penn State because typically I was traveling so much that I couldnāt stay there and go to class and try to travel and miss so much, as I do now.
Q: Do you have a specific career field in mind as it relates to your education or a visual of where you see yourself in ten years?
Well, my first five years I was still in college, so my main concern was college and then it was the porn life. And now that Iām graduated from college Iām like, āOkay, Iāve gotten to where I want to work-wise; Iām done with college.ā Now, I want to start branding myself in the porn industry.
So, where I see myself in ten years ⦠Iām hoping a lot bigger than I am now. I wouldnāt say that I donāt think I have a huge fan base behind me, itās just that I want to get a lot more recognition like a Tori Black or a Jenna Haze because I think I have the look for it. So hopefully down the road, I want to do kind of like a Lisa Ann career. I look up to her a lot because sheās been in it what, fifteen years? And she just keeps on going and I think thatās how I think I want to do it: Benefit out of it as much as I can, maybe one day going behind the camera and producing or I have plans of possibly going back to school and getting my masterās and maybe public relations or management or something like that. In those terms, maybe doing kind of like what Rising Star does. (Laughs)
Q: Is there one misconception about the adult industry that you wish you could dispel?
Oh, man ⦠one misconception… As far as misconceptions, I would say a lot of people donāt think that weāre a clean industry, like getting tested and stuff. When the last HIV breakout happened, I was posting on my Twitter and stuff saying, āListen, donāt listen to everything you hear on CNN; itās not always true. Itās not always the exact facts; you donāt know whatās going on.ā And people were like, āWell, itās kind of weird how you guys only get tested every six months.ā And Iām thinking in my head, āWow, thatās a way to be ignorant,ā because thatās not the truth. We get tested every month. I get tested twice a month, just for the safety of my boyfriend when I come home. I might get tested to go out there, but as soon as I get back here I want to be tested again ā you never know.
But a lot of people in the industry ā if theyāre business-minded ā theyāre very safe with what they do. And a lot of the HIV breakouts have happened when itās like crossovers ā a gay guy tries to go into the mainstream. So itās not like we just sit here and have sex with a whole bunch of people and that we want to bring AIDS and whatever else there is into the industry. So, the biggest misconception is that we donāt get tested a lot.
We are a lot cleaner than most normal āciviliansā ā if thatās what you want to call it ā because how many college students get tested once a month? I would say probably ninety-nine percent donāt. And thatās the way that theyāre going around giving each other chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV or whatever: Nobody gets tested. We do.
So thatās one thing that irritates me a lot about people: Theyād rather just assume rather than ask and find out.
Q: Can you tell us where you were raised and how you would describe yourself growing up?
I grew up in Nazareth, which is next to Easton, Pennsylvania, kind of like where Lisa Ann grew up. I lived with my aunt from sixteen and on.
It was funny: I was such a nerd. If people were to go and look at my yearbook, they would be like, āThatās not you.ā Iām like, āYeah, but it is me.ā I was the girl with the bottle cap classic glasses ā not the in-style ones ā I had braces, I had an expander on top of it, I had the very short butched hair and always the hand-me-down clothes. Itās always like that when youāre in a family; theyāre like, āOh, hereās some clothes. You donāt need to go spend hundreds of dollars on clothes, you donāt need to be in the āInā crowd.ā So I was a kid that was a little nerdy and I did track and cross-country. I wasnāt really in the popular group or anything like that.
Itās funny because a lot of people nowadays say, āI knew you would do something like thatā ā be a porn star or something like that. I try to look back and remember my high school years and Iām like, āI donāt remember that.ā I had like five boyfriends ever. How can anybody say, āI knew you were going to be that?ā (Laughs) I was like that little nerd that walked around and hung around with that nerdy track and cross-country people. I didnāt do anything big or popular. So I was always like, āI donāt understand.ā But if you saw some pictures, youād kind of be shocked. (Laughs)
Q: What are some of your interests and hobbies away from work?
Well, I took up one hobby recently, which was pole dancing. Iām absolutely falling in love with that class. I never knew there was such an art to it (and I hope) to maybe eventually be feature dancing. I told myself I wouldnāt ever feature dance and now Iām like, āOkay, maybe I will, but only if I know pole dancing.ā And itās just an art. So thatās one hobby Iāve started.
And a couple of other things: Thereās snowboarding; I love to snowboard and being in the mountains in the Pocono area. I love just being able to cruise ā by all means, I donāt go off-jump. (Laughs) But I do like to snowboard.
I think the other one would be skydiving. I love skydiving. I hate heights and I refuse to go on a rollercoaster, but I will jump out of a plane. (Laughs) I donāt know why ā Iām really scared of heights and to get in a plane and jump out ⦠I donāt know ⦠you donāt have that feeling when you jump out of a plane ā that rollercoaster feeling that your stomach is going to come out of your mouth. You just kind of fall and the feeling and everything is just so peaceful. So itās kind of awesome.
Q: Wow. Iāve personally always wanted to go skydiving, but havenāt really had the opportunity yet.
You have to have one of those friends that is like, āOkay, letās go do it!ā And they force you to do it. (Laughs)
Q: Is there one thing about yourself that you feel would surprise most people?
Well, I think the one huge thing that surprises a lot of people is that I interact with my fans. I canāt speak for any other girls, but I really interact. I talk with my fans on Twitter, MySpace, Google+, Facebook ā everything. I usually will message you right back if you ask me a question. There might be times that I accidentally skip over a question because Iām always getting a lot, but then there are times where Iām very personable and I tell people, āIām going to go here in Philly.ā And a lot of them do show up and theyāre like, āCan I take a picture with you?ā And I donāt mind being bothered. A lot of people are like, āWhen Iām out with my friends I donāt want to be bothered.ā But I donāt care. Theyāre my fans and I enjoy it. I want to meet you and I want you to know that I am a real person besides what I do. A lot of girls move out to L.A. and they get wrapped up in that, but I refuse to because I kind of feel like it keeps me grounded as to who I am as a person. It keeps me more like a normal girl, but then she has that kinky side. (Laughs)
Q: Are there any upcoming projects in the works that you would like to mention?
Well, my biggest thing is my Brazzers scene. It has come out, but I think itās for members only. I did put a link on my Twitter. But that was my biggest thing. That was the first time that I shot with them in five years and I was just so excited to finally get them to shoot me.
Q: You do a lot of camshow work as well, is that right?
Yeah. On Tuesdays and Thursdays ā kind of like today ā I do Cam4 shows for Cam4.com. They are Super Shows, which I do from 7 to 8 Eastern Time. Those are free for everyone; the only reason you would have to pay is if you actually want to chat with me. But other than that, anybody can see it. They can just tune in and watch it if they want to.
And then I do Streamate.com pretty much four days a week from Monday to Thursday from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM Eastern Time and Iām pretty much constantly on there. Sometimes Iām a little bit late for the 11:00 PM because Iām always doing stuff and trying to work out and get there on time, but Iām always there. Itās fun. I like doing those because again, you get to interact with your fans as well. You get people who are always coming on every single time and theyāre like, āHey, how are you?ā And youāre like, āHey, whatās up?ā (Laughs) Itās kind of fun.
Q: To finish up, is there anything you wish to say to readers?
Well, hopefully they get to see me eventually feature dance and all I can say is just keep rooting for me. My biggest thing this year is that I really want to be nominated for an XBIZ award and for AVN. Iāve never had the opportunity to do that because Iāve never really been focused on it. And now that Iāve done a couple Internet movies and this movie Captain America, Iām hoping. For XBIZ, I think a lot of people ⦠they make profiles, but you can nominate the person and as long as you continue to vote for my Internet site ā if Iām on Reality Kings and I have a thing there ā do a lot of ratings because it helps bring me back. So thatās one big sensation: Always vote and bring me back. (Laughs)
Q: Thank you. I appreciate you taking some time out to speak with me tonight. I wish you all the best with your career and Iām sure weāll be hearing a lot more from you in the future.
Thank you so much.
