[from an interview in 2017] Ten years ago, you could take some time to learn to be a performer. I remember my first review: "She sucks, but I like how she looks." Now you have to be ready to give your all from your very first scene.
In 2017 there are no more "Vivid Girls." You're only a brand name if your fans make you a brand name. As long as you put in the work, you can become a reputable brand.
