VENICE, Calif. — Dana Vespoli is profiled in a new interview with her friend Sovereign Syre.
“She graduated with a degree in comparative literature and got work in the corporate world, but found it degrading and, well, boring,” Sovereign writes in introduction, striking a familiar chord for anyone who understands how a porn star can find the corporate world degrading. “Although Dana’s beauty is what I would define as delicate, her demeanor is salty, intense, cerebral and funny. This contradiction is compelling and a big part of her charm.”
It’s a fairly long interview, where the pair discuss the state of porn today and how Dana’s vision fits in with that, among other topics.
“I come at it with respect for what it is, I come at it trying to have a meaningful experience with another person, or documenting a meaningful experience, or creating a situation where people can come together when we get down to the actual sex,” Dana says. “I know it sounds a little mystical or whatever, but I think when you lack respect for this thing, I think you lose it and it goes away, and that’s what I think happened with these companies.”
“At a certain point no one wants to see a girl get made fun of,” Dana adds. “At a certain point people are watching this more for amusement than to be turned on.”
