What kind of girl were you back in high school? Who did you hang out with/date?

"I was a big loner in High school. I grew up in a big Mormon community. I was raised Mormon, but the Mormons were complete assholes to me. My mother was a sex worker, and the people in the community frowned upon that, and they had their children ridicule me every day of my life in high school. I hated high school socially, but scholastically I accelerated because I had no friends. I didn't date anyone. So I was a virgin until I was 20 years old. I hung out with goth kids and other outsiders. So today, I'm always leaning to hang out with people who are different or loners."

Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry? Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

"I wouldn't say I was a huge porn fan before getting into the industry, but I always did love looking at beautiful women. When I was looking at getting into porn, I looked up to ladies like Sunny Leone and Aria Giovanni. They were so classy and elegant. I was a big fan of Andrew Blake's videos. They were artful, and I appreciate how he captures beauty."

What kind of scene have you found is your favorite kind to do so far?

"My favorite kind of scenes are lez domme scenes with bondage. I love being submissive to beautiful women, and being such a strong athletic female, I like being bound, so my muscle becomes obsolete."

What/who do you want to do on-camera that you haven’t done yet?

"I've never done on-camera work "lovemaking' with Charlotte Stokely. We have been in a million movies together and even had speaking roles together, but we haven't "done it" yet. She's a nice lady and very stunning. I like everything about her!"

Who is your favorite performer to work with so far, and why?

"I've been in the industry since 2003, and there have been some fantastic performers it would be hard to pick just one. However, with that said, one performer stands out in my mind because she was the best Domme I had ever worked with at the time, and it blew me away many years ago and left an impact on me in a positive way. Sandra Romain is the woman. She was so beautiful, her accent got me from the start, but her willingness to go hard on me in a safe way had an impact on me."

You respond to your fans a lot on Twitter. What do you like most about talking to your fans on social media?

"The fans are everything. Without them, my job doesn't have much meaning. I've been blessed over the years to have gained some really outstanding followers and fans. I get so many positive messages of encouragement from fans who love my muscles and my wrestling videos. I'm somewhat of a niche performer. Not every human loves a muscular woman and indeed knowing that I could destroy most anyone in a fight can be terrifying and a turn off to a lot of people, My fans are aroused and intrigued by this idea. When they reach out to me, it's always with adoration and respect. I appreciate them. What I love most, however, is when fans reach out to me with their stories of how I inspired them to better their lives through fitness or by accepting their unconventional sex lives. Being so sexually open apparently is very inspiring to many people who feel sexually oppressed or who have been shamed for having a kink or a desire that isn't spoken about much. I had nt idea I could inspire so many people with porn, and when I get messages from people telling me how I've helped them, it does feel good."

How did you become a porn performer? What led you down that career path?

"I got into porn in 2003 while I was working for a computer store. The accountant for the company was a beautiful girl who had been shooting adult stuff on the side. She told me I would be good at it, so I took some selfies, submitted them to pretty much every magazine or site I could find, and the rest is history. It wasn't a quick overnight success story. It was years of putting myself out there to gain recognition. I'm still out here hustling for recognition.

I would say in all honesty that what lead me into the path to porn was a huge need to feel accepted or desired. As I mentioned, I was tormented in high school. I felt that is I could become a sex symbol and the people who ridiculed me in school started to desire me, that I could have some sort of power over them. Desire and lust are pretty powerful and at the age of 23 when I started porn, it seemed like a quick fix to my insecurities."

What do you most want to achieve in the industry?

"It's 2020 coming up. I started in 2003, and I'm 17 years into the industry. I haven't won any awards and I'm' okay with that. However, I have started my websites, and I do think my sites are award-worthy, so I would like the industry to acknowledge how awesome evolvedfights and evolvedfightslez are, and I hope to get them some awards."

What is one thing you would teach a woman who wanted to be a better sexual partner?

"Acceptance! You need to accept that you are beautiful no matter what, and that will give you confidence. When you have confidence, you are a lot more likely to have fun with sex. Have fun, don't overthink things, don't do anything you don't want to do, but also sometimes breaking out and trying new things can be awesome."

What do you love most about being in porn?

"I love working with amazing artists in porn. Most everyone in porn has some crazy side projects in which they are creating beautiful art. I love seeing these folx be creative. It's truly inspiring."

What do you think are “must-have” DVDs for your fans?

"My latest movie from Sweetheart Video called "Girls of Wrestling" is a must-have on DVD!!! Some DVDs come with signed trading cards even!"

What do you like to do for fun?

"I'm utterly obsessed with true crime podcasts. I'm a murderino! I love listening to podcasts, I do Jiu-Jitsu religiously, I also love boxing, yoga and I'm currently studying French and Data Analysis all for fun."

What are your favorite fetishes to explore on camera?

"Having been in the industry for nearly 2 decades, I'm finding I enjoy more tame innocent fetishes like "squishy face" stuff or muscle-flexing. I'm also really fascinated with Vore."

Who are your role models in porn?

"I love Jessica Drake. She does a lot for performer advocacy, and she’s been in the industry for a while. She treats her fans well, and she’s just a good person."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"Mainstream Hollywood movie? The best movie I’ve seen in years was “Joker”. I feel it came out at a time of enormous division and makes society take a look in the mirror on how we are currently handling mental illness. It was beautifully done."

How about the best porno movie? Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

"JP, the Pope, has been putting out some really beautiful stuff for Kink.com. His latest movie Derelict is fantastic check it out."

What is coming up for you?

"I’m always shooting new content for my two sites evolvedfights.com and evolvedfightslez.com. We will put putting some tournaments together so I will be working heavily on coordinating all of that."

If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be?

"Valentina Shevchenko, the UFC fighter--she’s so good at what she does, she speaks like 7 languages, and she seems like a really good person."

What single piece of advice would you give a brand new female performer?

"Don’t spend your money on stupid shit."
