Selena Silver Interview
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."
