2003-09-10 13:20:34
I interview Selena Silver by phone 9/9/03.
She stands 5'6", weighs 126 pounds and sports 34Bs.
Luke: "Where are you from in Australia?"
Selena: "From Sydney."
Luke: "The big city. How did you get into this industry?"
Selena: "My husband and I were swingers. It wasn't a far leap
from there to porn."
Luke: "You were swinging in Sydney?"
Selena: "Yeah, a bit of a drag, but yeah.
"My husband is from Miami. We were hanging out there. We saw an
ad in the paper [for sex work] and thought, That would be cool.
I did a couple of Internet things there and then came out here
in January [2003]. I've done 30 movies since then."
Luke: "Does your husband ever work with you?"
Selena: "No. He just helps me with the business side of things.
He comes to every single one of my sets."
Luke: "What are your favorite movies?"
Selena: "I liked working with Belladonna on Bella's Perversions
3. I'd wanted to meet her. I had fun working with Ariana Jolle
in a recent shoot I did for Brandon Iron and Platinum X Pictures.
She has so much energy."
Luke: "How did the reality of the industry contrast with what you
expected?"
Selena: "It was more businesslike than I expected. People were
friendly and normal."
Luke: "What do you love and what do you hate about the industry?"
Selena: "I love working my own hours, controlling my own destiny.
There's nothing I don't like about it."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew
up?"
Selena: "A marine biologist. I went to university and I have a
degree in marine biology. There's supposed to be a new university
in Townsville [remote Northeastern Australia] that's amazing,
but you've got to live in Townsville."
Luke: "Do you get to use your knowledge in this industry?"
Selena: "Not really. It's always good for a chat when people have
questions about things. One day I might go back to it."
Luke: "How are you adjusting to America?"
Selena: "I hate the traffic. The first couple of weeks, I kept
flicking the windscreen wipers on when I wanted to turn. Getting
used to the steering wheel on the other side of the car was weird.
I kept getting into the passenger side door."
Luke: "Do you notice the smog?"
Selena: "Only when we look out to the horizon and see that smudgy
line. We don't have day to day breathing difficulties."
Luke: "If the porn industry was centered in Sydney instead of Los
Angeles, how would it be different?"
Selena: "Prostitution is legal in Sydney. Shipping things would
be much more costly. From a shooting standpoint, it would be fabulous.
Think of all the amazing places where you could shoot."
Luke: "Have there been an Aboriginal porn movies?"
Selena: "Not that I know of."
Luke: "A porn version of Rabbit Proof Fence."
Selena: "I'd like see some porn movies made with Ayres Rock in
the backdrop."
Luke: "Or a porn version of Muriel's Wedding or Priscilla Queen
of the Desert."
Selena: "That would be an entirely different kind of porn movie."
Luke: "How have you changed from your time in porn?"
Selena: "I've got a lot more confidence about talking to people."
Luke: "Do you and your husband ever feel jealousy?"
Selena: "No. Jealously usually comes about when there's doubt
or worry. When you're both there with each other experiencing
it, you can't get jealous. We just had our one-year anniversary."
Luke: "Has your family found out about your new career?"
Selena: "No."
I ask Selena a series of questions about gangbangs, working with
bisexual men, interracial, etc and there's nothing that bothers
her. "I'm easy going."
Luke: "You've bested me here. I can't get you riled up."
