Interview with Alexis Amore
by D.U.C.
Wednesday afternoon, 6/11/03

I found this biography on AlexisAmorexxx.com: "I was born in Lima, Peru and moved to Redondo Beach, California when I was nine years old. There I spent most of my life until I started High School. When I was 15 years old I began to model for Nordstroms. I did a lot of print work such as magazines and flyers. This was really inspiring to me pushing me towards a career I enjoyed and wanted to pursue. I felt really comfortable around cameras and loved the attention I attracted. What pushed me towards the industry was the day when I went for an audition. The agent highly suggested that I should work for Playboy. I gave it a shot and turned out to be a model for Playboy TV. I ran into a few porn stars on the set and learned what the adult industry was all about. I was really inspired and wanted to experience it first hand. I immediately got a hold of Vivid Video and as a result, I starred in my first film The Watcher 6 in 1999. Since then, I have continued starring in adult films such as Latin Extreme, My First Porno, Mi Vida and Sex Across America (New Orleans)."

Luke:"So how did you get into the adult industry?"

Alexis: "I was doing some modeling for Playboy TV. I met Jewel DeNyle, Alexa Rae. They were doing a show for Nightcalls. I asked them questions about how you get started, do you worry about disease... Questions that everybody has about having sex in front of the camera. I felt comfortable with everything they gave me, so I contacted Vivid.

"I'm sorry, my voice is breaking. "I was doing my first film two days later [11/99]."

Luke: "How did you come to work for Playboy?"

Alexis: "I was doing regular modeling, Nordstroms, catalogues. I was sent to do a show for HBO. When I walked in, this guy said I was too short but that they would love me at Playboy. Back then, Playboy had more work. Now there's too many girls.

"I walked in to Playboy [1998] and they hired me and they hired me all the time, several times a month."

Luke: "How many adult movies have you made?" Alexis: "I've done about 165."

Luke: "You've been a busy beaver."

Alexis: "I was shooting all the time. So I took some time off. I concentrated on dancing and keeping in touch with my fans, my website. I decided to come back about a year ago."

Luke: "When did you start dancing?"

Alexis:"I started dancing after I did [porn] movies. I started dancing because I wanted to learn how to feature dance. I didn't want to go on stage and look like an idiot. I started dancing for Spearmint Rhino.

"I danced with my clothes on during junior-high and high school."

Luke: "Did you ever get a breast job?"

Alexis: "I got a boob job before I even started doing Playboy TV. I always liked big breasts. I measure 36DD-23-34. I'm 5'2"."

Luke: "How did you come to work for Jill Kelly Productions?"

Alexis: "When I got back in the business, I had the goal of getting a contract. I wanted to do only one or two films a month and getting boxcovers. One of the companies I worked with when I got back in the business was JKP. I approached them for a contract. They wanted me to do more work. They wanted people to know more about me. So then I contacted other companies and I felt more comfortable with JKP. I get along really good with the girls, with a lot of the girls. (giggle)"

Luke: "What do you love and what do you hate about working in the adult industry?"

Alexis: "I love the sex. (Giggle) I hate that people talk out of their ass without knowing what is going on. Give me a call or email me and I will give you the scoop myself. Don't start posting sh-- without knowing... It's hard when you are going through a real personal problem and then you have to come clean to the whole industry. Sometimes you don't want the whole industry to know what is really going on in your life. It's nothing that I have to hide. I have no drug or alcohol problems.

"It was hard when I started my [JKP] contract [February 2003]. So many things came out at once. You learn how to handle things."

Luke: "I don't remember you being in the gossip pages?"

Alexis: "A few things here and there. I had a show at KSEXradio with Wankus. We fixed that up. The only problem was when other JKP contract girls make a mistake, they put up a press release saying JKP girls. They include me, Ashton [Moore], Tyler [Faith] or girls who have nothing to do with the situation. Why can't you mention the names individually? I love my girls but please don't get me in the mix."

Luke: "Were you ever on the KSEXradio.com flake list?"

Alexis: "Yes, I was. I made up for it."

Luke: "Were are you from?"

Alexis: "Peru."

Luke: "How old were you when you came to America?"

Alexis: "I was nine years old."

Luke: "Do you go back to Peru much?"

Alexis: "I have not been back yet. I'm going back in October. I'm going to baptize my second godson. I'm going to work on location because I will shoot my 2005 calendar in Peru."

Luke: "Is your family here or in Peru?"

Alexis: "I have family everywhere in the world. I still have a lot of family out here. They're helping me shoot the calendar.

"In July, I'm doing a radio show with the Latin American version of Howard Stern. I will probably get some hard faces when I go back to Peru but my family will support me and love me. It's crazy when you are in this business and you are Latin. You're a big deal."

Luke: "Were you a cheerleader in high school?"

Alexis giggles. "Yes. I was in the dance squad."

Luke: "Have friends from high school discovered your new career?"

Alexis: "Yes. Some have been really narrow, like the girls. I've had emails from friends from high school that I have not talked to in years. Some are supportive. Some are like, 'I can't believe you're doing that.' One guy from high school came to see me dance last month.

"I went to high school in Hermosa Beach. I moved to the Valley about a year ago. "I still have a big accent because I speak to my family a lot in Spanish and I don't want to lose that. I write and speak Spanish fluently."

Luke: "What are your ambitions?"

Alexis: "To become big and well known and to be in this industry as long as I can."

Luke: "What are your favorite parts of your job?"

Alexis: "The make-up. Getting all pretty and meeting the fans. What part do I dislike the most? Getting up early for the calltime. I normally get up around 10-11AM."
