чудесные заметки о разговоре с девушкой по имени Стоя, порнозвездой:
DANIEL LONG: One of the things that excited me about the interview was the fact that I’ve had so much fun reading your Tumblr. Even when you’re talking about business or promoting a sex toy, there still manages to be some thought-provoking shit in there. Where’d you get your writing prowess?
STOYA: I was homeschooled. My mother is not a teacher. Her background is in civil engineering and accounting, so when it came to science she was like, “Hey! I’ve got some chemicals and some test tubes! Let’s go play in the backyard!” (laughs) English didn’t really even happen. It was all just picked up by osmosis from reading. If I didn’t know a word, I would try to figure it out by the context and then look it up in the dictionary to see if I was right. When my mother decided to teach me French, she gave me Les Misérables and had me learn directly from it. I was probably in what would amount to the third or fourth grade at the time.
Socially there were huge drawbacks to being homeschooled, but I think it taught me how to be creative and how to figure things out for myself. It made me very active in my own learning process, and I think that’s carried over into my adult life.
и беседа действительно хорошая — о литературе (например, о Дэвиде Фостере Уоллесе), о нервных срывах, о людях и их желаниях; о бесконечном поиске. вот, скажем, еще одна неожиданная цитата:
DANIEL LONG: Let’s talk Turkey.
STOYA: Turkey has taken a serious liking to me, especially the Turkish version of 4CHAN. At first I was like, “What the fuck is up with all of these Turkish fans?” I thought about it for a while and realized, “Hey, I’m part Serbian.” These guys are pretty much genetically wired to want to rape and pillage me after doing it so relentlessly to my ancestors. Naturally they’re fans of watching me get fucked. (laughing) Obviously. But now that some of the Turks are in a twitter over me, I also get the religious ones who are sending me messages like, “You whore infidel!” which is really kind of driving me insane. I don’t want to look at the Internet because I know it could be something from one of my awesome fans in Sacramento who has loved my work from the beginning, or it could be some Turkish man screaming at me about how I’m going to Islamic hell.
или другое ее интервью:
ROBERT BRINK: I noticed that people who interview you tend to latch on to you being a tech geek, making your own outfits and not living in Los Angeles—things different from the average porn star. Most porn interviews I see don’t say much of anything. The girls seem to play the role of the hot horny chick who only wants to please a man. Do you think by putting this other stuff about yourself out there that you’re offering something more than just being a “typical” porn star?
STOYA: Having worked in the adult industry for a while now, I’ve learned many of the girls really do have other facets to their personality—hobbies and families and serious things they invest a lot of time and energy into. But many of the girls are playing a role. Actually, I consider some of them the best actresses in history because they play a role everyday. They play it in front of cameras and in behind-the-scenes interviews and on social media. It’s really admirable, but in this day and age where there is no privacy I just don’t have it in me to maintain a 24/7 persona like that. So I’m just myself. Fortunately people react to it in a favorable way.
<...>
ROBERT BRINK: I feel like you’re parodying it.
STOYA: I try so hard to do it right and give them what they want but there’s this giant river of sarcasm running underneath it.
она же, тем временем, и дальше трансформирует порнографию в искусство.
прекрасная.
