We sit on a couch in the bedroom. She wears jeans. She stands 5'4", weighs 102 pounds, and measures 34B-24-34. She has six tattoos including one of the name of her boyfriend.

Daisy, 21: "When I was a kid, I wanted to be either an actress or a dancer."

She has a distinct Mexican accent. She's lived almost all her life in East LA and the Valley. Her ancestry is three-quarters Mexican and one-quarter Filipino.

Duke: "What kind of expectations did your family have for you?"

Daisy: "A dancer or a stripper. Any time I would hear music, I'd be dancing."

Daisy didn't take dance classes except for some Spanish dance classes. "Not hip-hop or pop. I learned that by going out to clubs [at age 15]."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Daisy: "A Latin crowd. A lot of Mexicans. I grew up with athletes. I was involved with volleyball, basketball and track. Sports was my number one class in school."

Duke: "What kind of student were you?"

Daisy: "I had a difficult time in highschool. I had a difficult time throughout my whole schooltime. I was real slow. I didn't want to work. I never concentrated. I was always side-tracked by something. I never got my work done. There were times when I was in the mood. If it was something that I liked. My favorite subject was English. I used to like to write poetry. I got a good grade in that, but that's it. Math and everything else..."

Duke: "Did you get into trouble in highschool?"

Daisy: "Yeah. I was always suspended. I was always fighting. I was a bully. I used to love to pick fights [with girls]."

I look her over. She's only 5'4 and weighs about 100 pounds. It's hard for me to picture her as a bully.

Duke: "Why did you do that?"

Daisy: "I guess I had a lot of anger in myself. I was always picking at everybody.

"I was jealous of my older sister. When I went to her same school, she would ignore me instead of being my big sister. I would draw all kinds of attention to myself. Get in fights and stuff like that."

Daisy has an older brother and older sister and a younger brother and younger sister.

Duke: "Are your parents together?"

Daisy: "I grew up with my godparents. They're like my mom and dad."

Duke: "Do you think that might've been a reason you were so angry?"

Daisy: "Yeah. Now I've accepted it. I only had three years with my birth mom. Then I went and lived with my godparents."

Daisy dropped out of highschool just before graduation. "I went to summer school [in 2000] so I could get my highschool diploma. I only needed 30 credits more. I ended up just quitting.

"I ran away and lived with my [older] sister and her boyfriend. I didn't want to be at home. I was just running the streets. I wasn't doing anything. I wasn't working. I wasn't going to school. I was just hanging out with my friends, always partying.

"I'd live off my sister, be good for a couple of days, and then be gone for the weekend.

"When I was 18, I was on my own. I was living with a friend. I got approached by an agent, Wesley Pipes.

"I was walking with a friend in my neighborhood. He had a girl come up to us and say he was an agent and that I was very pretty and he could get me work as a model. I just had to be 18.

"I was a week away from my 18th birthday. I was really in need of money, so I just said f--- it and did it a week after my 18th birthday.

"I was only with Wesley Pipes for a couple of months and then I moved to Naughty Modeling. I got a contract [in May 2003] with Video Team for a year.

"I went to cosmetology school for eight months. I did good. I liked doing it. I got what I wanted out of it. I just wanted to learn the basics -- highlights, cut hair, basic make-up, pedicure, manicure. I'm back in the industry. I'm working maybe four times a month. That's all I want to work.

"I worked with Wesley maybe twice but he was really big. I couldn't take him all the way."

Duke: "Have you found that people try to manipulate you into doing things that you don't want to do?"

Daisy: "I'm really strong with my decisions. I don't put myself in situations where I don't have a choice."

Daisy only once got a bad check. "I've had checks and I've never cashed them. They're still sitting in my drawer. I was going through some old envelopes and I found two checks. One is for $600 and one is for $200. I don't know if I can cash them because they're from the year 2002. I don't even know if those companies exist any more."

Duke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?"

Daisy: "I love being in front of the camera. I love showing my body. The thing I hate about porn shoots is just waiting all the time. Early call-times. I'm not a morning person."

Duke: "What do you spend your money on?"

Daisy: "I buy a lot of clothes. Now I'm spending a lot of money on my [Mercedes]. I just bought brand new TVs for my car. I just bought an in-dash Alpine TV for my front-dash. I'm getting my head-rest TVs [for the people in the back seat] put in this week. I'm saving to buy a house."

Daisy has never dated anybody in the industry. "It's not my thing. It's all business to me. I associate with the people. I like to talk to everybody. I'm very nice. But I don't look for that in the industry because it causes a lot of conflict."

Duke: "How do the guys you date deal with you being a porn star?"

Daisy: "I let them know ahead of time so if they have a problem with it, they can just walk out. I started doing porn before I met him, so either love it or leave it. I do take into consideration what my boyfriend wants. That's why I just do the basics. I don't do an A. I don't do any outrageous movies."

Daisy frequents a bar in Pasadena where she gets recognized. Alexis Amore also goes there. "All the security guards at the club love us. Me and her don't really talk.

"I've never had a problem. I've never had a stalker. I'm really exclusive. I don't go out and say I'm a porn star.

"This year I took my boyfriend to the AVN Awards. I told him, I want you to see what it is like.

"I was signing at the New Sensations booth. He said, 'Ohmig-d, I didn't realize you were so famous. You have so many people calling your name. Everywhere you walk, it is Daisy this, and Daisy that.' He was excited for me.

"I had a jealous boyfriend before. He hated that I got all the attention.

"When I go to work, that's it. I do no extra favors."
