Quotes

"Sex outdoors is great. I'm not an exhibitionist, but I love the possibility that people might be able to see."

"I didn't know what my goal was, but I knew I had to get out and do something exciting."

"When people recognize me they say things like, Oh, I wanna get a crisp so I can throw it at you, she says. Or, Can you wipe your mouth just like you do in the ad?'. It has been very positive for me, but you can kinda see how that sort of thing could get annoying."
