Sasha Grey Interviewed in New York Magazine

NEW YORK — Performer Sasha Grey, who has been keeping a high profile in the mainstream press recently, was the subject of a short interview in New York magazine this week.

In the interview, Grey talks about the casting process and the difference between shooting adult video and mainstream movies.

"When I had the first meeting I assumed I would be naked and do a sex scene," Grey said. "Did I think I would do five, like in my adult work? No, but even up to the point where we were shooting, I thought there was going to be at least one sex scene."

The film that stars Grey, "The Girlfriend Experience," is a largely improvised mainstream production directed by Steven Soderburgh, who also directed the 2001 film "Ocean's Eleven" and won an Academy Award for directing the 2000 film "Traffic."
