Exclusive interview with Catalina Cruz
 |
So when was your first actual porn shoot? My very first real sex video was in 2000 for my website called “Studying Hard”. It was a girl/girl video with Lana. She lived in Ohio as well as I did then.How was that? Did it feel weird or really good? I was very excited yet shy at first. I wasn’t sure how to make “moves” on another girl at that point because it was my actual first time having full sex with another woman. I enjoyed making that video very much and I’ll always remember that day. I actually heard from Lana through e-mail just a couple months ago wanting an autographed copy of the video for her fiance. She never told him she made the video! 🙂 |
What made you decide to do porn?
I never thought I’d ever be working in porn. I ended up going topless for an artsy photographer doing black and whites back in 1999 and I really enjoyed making beautiful photos and then everything just snowballed after that. I basically just fell into it after meeting a guy in Michigan who opened up my eyes to the internet.
What’s your favorite scene?
I LOVE all the scenes I do for my Licensed to Blow website. I love scenes that are funny yet really erotic and I really enjoy oral sex.
How did you choose your name within the industry?
I’ve been told just about daily that I resemble Penelope Cruz with large breasts and with a little help from Jenna Jameson🙂 I was formerly known as Jenna Z.
Did or do you have a role model?
Salma Hayek has always been someone I admire. She does charitable work that increases awareness of domestic violence. One of my goals is to open a shelter for families that need help starting over.
How did your family and friends take it when you desided to go into the porn industry?
I lost some friends when I first started but to me they truly weren’t friends to begin with. On another note, both my mom and dad have been very supportive and know all about my adventures. They know I work in porn but we do not sit and talk about it for hours:)
Of course we want to know some personal information, what’s your favorite movie?
I love a variety of movies. The Departed, Shawshank Redemption, Gia, What Dreams May Come, Knocked Up… I have a lot of them.
Favorite food?
I love cake batter flavored ice cream with snickers and strawberries in it. I love frozen snickers too.
Favorite site?
My daily websites are mainly CNN for news, google & yahoo, carnival cruise lines to see how many days are left until my cruise:) I would be lying if I didn’t say my website is my favorite! I check Freeones often especially if I need to look up a model. You guys rock!
Are you close with your fans? And what do you do for them?
I have gotten very close with a lot of my fans over the years. Many have become friends by going back and forth through e-mail often. One member actual worked and did freelance with us for a few years. I interact just about daily with my fans inside my members area and through e-mail. I have done personal phone calls, met in person before, chat live on cam weekly and shoot constantly just for them for my website. I also schedule special live events on my web cam.
Do you remember your first kiss? And how do you remember that?
At a 6th grade birthday party, his name was Mark and I remember it because his braces hurt my lips.
What did you do before you started to work in the porn industry?
My very last job was for an International Japanese trading company in Cleveland, OH.
What do you do when you come home from work?
I have a home office too so they can be a good and bad thing but when I relax I love to get out in the pool and jacuzzi or just simply watch a movie or TV since right now it is blazing HOT here in AZ.
Do you have an active personal sex life? And does your work effect this?
Yes, I do. So far my work has had a positive effect on it because we fantasize more and get aroused from maybe a scene I did that day. I don’t work for other companies so I don’t get burned out working everyday on a different set so it is a little different for me.
Is the sex with your boyfriend different then when shooting for a movie?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on if we are making love or just straight up fucking.
You have a favorite position or something you think someone really has to try?
The man is on his knees with torso straight up. I was straight up as well but facing away from him. It was not doggie style because I wasn’t on all fours. My legs were on his upper legs so he was supporting me while playing with my clitoris. It was wild and different. I think I loved it so much because I fantasized that their was a tongue below us.
What is your limit with making porn?
Obviously, No animals, minors, fisting, puking, really violent scenes etc… with me. You get the point. Just hardcore, sensual sex with consenting adults.
Did you ever do something you now wish you didn’t do?
Marry my ex-husband shortly after high school.
Would you prefer lesbian or heterosexual sex?
I cannot live without men so I would have to choose heterosexual sex. Having a woman is a bonus for me.
Is there someone you really enjoy working with?
I enjoy working with Brandon Michaels doing boy/girl. We are so close that it doesn’t even seem like work sometimes. I love that. I also love Will Powers. He is so entertaining to be on set with.
What’s been your worst experience on the set?
I think the worst is when you have a couple people that don’t really like each other on set together. It’s rare but it happens and it can make for an uncomfortable day.
And the weirdest or funniest thing you experienced?
Actually something that just happened at my very last shoot in LA… one of the assistants thought that my little yellow anal beads was a bracelet and she proceeded to put in on my wrist. I then explained to her that they were anal beads for my ass! lol We laughed very hard for quite awhile. Good times, I love my job!
And if there’s anyone you can choose to make a movie with, who would it be?
Mainstream I would choose Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise because it would make for a very interesting title. I would like to work with Tera Patrick, I love brunettes, hmmm maybe I am biased:)
Do you have any tips or advice to people who want to work in the industry?
It’s getting tougher and tougher to get into the saturated internet so make sure you work with people that know what they are doing. I am always getting e-mails over people that want to have websites and start an online business. It takes patience, drive and lots of people promoting you. If you are a model wanting to get into porn, be safe and check references. It’s better to go with one of the bigger adult agencies who know who is who and can help you get started safely.
You have a new movie coming out we can all wait for?
I’ll have six new dvds out this year. Licensed to Blow volumes #1-6 which every scene will be available on www.licensedtoblow.com as well as in stores internationally too thanks to Adam & Eve.
And the last question; We all want to know how you see yourself in the future. Any plans?
Right now I am running other girls websites along with mine so I see myself adding more “Fantasy Girl” websites and expanding that name brand. I truly love this business so I’ll probrably always be around in some shape or form.
