* Katsuni, how are you?
Katsuni: I'm fine thank you! I just had some vacations in Vietnam so I really can't complain. * So how did you come to the decision to make the leap from studying political science and literature to doing hardcore porn? Katsuni: To tell you the truth I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do in my professional life; I was good at school but I had the feeling that I was made to follow my instinct and live my life like a huge adventure. I was looking for living all kind of experiences. While I was a student I used to dance a little bit as a gogo-dancer in clubs in France. This is how I met the photographer of the magazine Penthouse. The fact is that they were looking for their first egery to represent their adult movies. They asked me if I wanted to be this girl. After few months I decided to sign under my conditions but I kept studying one year. I was fascinated by porn and I wanted to discover myself sexually, live this opportunity like a game to experiment new things. Then, I really took the decision to do carreer in porn and I gave up to study because I realized that I really loved that! * Were you a bad girl in high school? |

Katsuni: Not at all! I was very shy, the perfect student who spends hours at the library, who doesn't go out. But in the same time I started very fast to be a bad girl sexually. I had a boyfriend and with him we did many nasty things lol So in fact I had two faces: the shy student and the wild girl who does DP on week-ends.
* When you jumped into doing hardcore porn, how have you and your decision been received by those that are close to you? Katsuni: I didn't tell my parents, I said it to one of my brothers who is like a twin brother for me. Of course few friends of mine had to know. Nobody understood my choice. I was brilliant at school and really not known to be emancipated. So it was really strange to imagine me doing porn. But I knew that with time they would understand, that in the end nobody was knowing me very well. I can tell you that now they understand my choice! * What was your first movie? How did you feel? Katsuni: My first movie is called Sottopaf et Sacapine directed by Alain Payet. It was produced of course by Penthouse. I felt very nervous and excited, watching the other scenes like if I was a little mouse hidden behind a door lol I was afraid to not be good enough compared to the other girls, but as soon as the video camera was on me, I felt very comfortable, for sex but for dialogues too.I really had a lot of fun ...and a lot of pleasure! * Unlike other professions, in porn you must be an autodidact because a college or university won't teach you how to fuck like a goddess. Where have you gathered all the relevant information for becoming a successful porn star? Katsuni: First I had a good teacher lol. My ex boyfriend loved porn and together we watched porn together. He gave me his opinion in details, described me what was good or not. Myself I liked comparing girls and see what I liked or not. Then it must come from you. Things come naturaly.If you have desire, if you want to please your partner, live each scene like the last one, give yourself 100%, be passionnate, create a chemistry, then, whatever you do sexually, you're good, because you're true. That, nobody teached me. * You are phenomenally popular and hoarding award after award. 29 international awards, best French and european actress and 3 AVN Awards as best foreign female performer!!! What's the secret of your success and how did you become who you are now? How do you generate the "buzz" and brand awareness in such a short time? Katsuni: One of the answers is in the previous question: I'm true in what I do; I live my job as a real passion, I love that. I love having and giving pleasure, and share that with people who will watch the scenes; I love the chemistry with the video camera. I think that people appreciate me becaue they can feel that. Besides that, I'm serious: I'm professionnal, I'm on time, respect people I work with, I never cancel or make drama unless there's a very good reason. Companies can trust me because I'm aware that's it's a real business. To finish I love doing medias. You can be good in your scenes but if you don't know how to communicate on it, it's not really usefull. I love speaking about my job and I feel comfortable in medias.This is also why I'm now under contract with Digital Playground which is one of the biggest adults companies in the world. | |

* Has the porn biz turned out to be what you expected it to be?
Katsuni: Not really. Like most people I had no idea that it was such a huge industry. When I started I was only looking for sex. At my 1st set somebody told me that I wasn't there to seduce and have sex with the other performers as long as it wasn't on camera. I was quite disappointed! It took me time to make the difference between working... and fucking! And to tell you the truth I didn't want so much to make this difference. For me porn had (and still must) to be fun. I didn't know that there were people who were doing this job only for money or sometimes only to become famous. But porn also gave me good surprises and I had really no idea that it would teach me so much. * What obstacles stand in the way of your success and how can you avoid them? Katsuni: I didn't have any obstacles, really. It has been sometimes difficult but I really think that I've been lucky and I like this job so much that I always learnt from the bad moments. I would say that the only real problem I had, has been my trial about my stagename. It has been rough. Mentaly it has been difficult but I had already my career built and to just change a letter in my name didn't hurt me so much. The most you will want to push me or destroy me, the most I will fight. I won the battle. |

* Where does the passion for sex come from for you? How much sex can
you actually handle?
Katsuni: It's natural. Deep inside you you feel the fire or not. You know, I'm also a woman and I'm not horny all the time! To be an adult performer you have to be under the average, be sexual, do more and better, but you also have the right to be normal. I love sex because it gives me an incredible pleasure, physically and mentally; it's healthy, it's generous, it's a great way to communicate and express yourself, it's part of my life. * Your body looks so awesome Katsuni... Tell me about your workout/diet regime? Katsuni: Lol I think that I'm lucky to have asian blood in my veins! I really eat what I want. I LOVE food as much as I love sex...maybe even more. I love everthing and in France the choice so delicious! Sometimes I will try to be more serious and do little diet for 1 or 2 months...then I will allow me to eat as I want. Frustration is not good. I just try to get a balance, not eat to much for dinner, avoid french fries, sodas...and I try to go to the gym one or twice a week. * What physical skills did you have to develop for your job? Or maybe you've been a sex champion from day one? Katsuni: Lol Funny question. I just would say that more you practise anal, more your body uses to do it and strechs so it's easier. But I'm naturally flexible, I've always done deepthroats, I love anal and DP in my private life. I really think that sexual performances are easy for me because I enjoy them. * The idea of anal sex repulses many women. However, it's an important step for every successful porn star. How did you get into anal? Katsuni: I tried anal with my boyfriend when I was 19. He wanted to do it, I didn't really understand why...but why not! Since the first day I loved that...Then we used to practise everyday. In the beginning I loved that because it turned me on and then I really started to develop a unique pleasure. * What is the largest number of guys you have taken on for a scene? What was it like? Katsuni: I did a scene with 5 guys. I was very excited. I love being in the middle of many guys in the same time. Before I started porn I used to do with much more than 5 guys! So it was easy for me. * What do you like the most in masculine orgasm? Why? Katsuni: The moment of cumshot of course and the feeling of the penis vibrating in my hands. For me this a very important moment, like a reward. This is the final point of the sexual relationship. The most the guy will come, the most I will be happy. I like watching cumshots. It's nasty and I love licking it, swalloing it. * Let's talk about the safety vs pleasure/excitement issue - what do you think about condoms in porn? Katsuni: It's really unusual to wear condoms in porn. In France we use it only when we shoot for TV, it's part of the rules that we have to respect. Anywhere else I only had to wear condoms for the movies of Wicked Pictures. Condoms are more used in order to show the right exemple and be politicaly correct, but to tell you the truth, when you decide to be an adult performer you accept some risks. We are tested at least every 3 weeks for different sexual diseases, we are a small business and everybody work with everybody. You have to trust the other ones, respect them and have a healthy life. But of course it's not 100% safe, and of course we are not an exemple to follow. We take our responsability but don't ask people to have sex without condoms. The fact is that people also prefer watch porn without condoms and for us who the scenes, it's also easier. The only issue is that some people, especially young people, don't take enough distance with the adult movies, and they think that it shows the way they should have sex. Real life is different and porn is an entertainment for adults. That's it! * Do you think there is a major difference between European Porn and American Porn? Katsuni: You know, you can't say in one side that there's Euope, and the other side, USA. In Italy porn will be different from France, which will be different from Germany etc...Each country has its own culture, its taboos, its government. In France for exemple we have the perfect french touch with the leader Marc DORCEL. This is the porno chic style: glamour, sophisticated, classy and we also have a sens of humor; we love comedies in France!. In Spain we have some crazy directors like Narciss Bosh with a specific universe, in Germany they like ultra-hardcore, in Italy they are very picky. Look at Mario Salieri's movies! It's almost black and white dramas! .. But to answer to your question lol I would say that the major difference is that Americans are really into gonzos and look a lot for the performances. In Europe, we do gonzo too but it seems that we're looking more for interesting situations, for erotism and we will always prefer a beautiful girl enjoying sex to a fat girl who loves gaping in the middle of 10 guys. (maybe not in Germany in fact). * What aspect of the French culture do you like the most? Katsuni: I'm lucky to be french, it's an amazing culture. I would say that what I like the most is what we called l'art de vivre. I don't know how translate that; it is about the way you live: to wake up and go to the bakery to buy a fresh hot baguette, eat it with (real) butter, marmelade with a hot chocolate, have a walk outside along the Seine in front of the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris or in Montmartre, make a nap in a park, drink a good glass of red wine with a good piece of cheese while you listen to an old song of Edith Piaf or Charles Aznavour : this is the french art de vivre. I miss it when I'm in LA. * What do you find most satisfying about being a porn star? Katsuni: Have pleasure in what I do, sharing it with people, and earn money for that! * You're an empire... a money making machine... Do you invest? Katsuni: Yes I saved my money for my projects. In fact, that's horrible but I spent a lot to pay all my attorneys because of my trial in France for my stagename, and to pay the woman who complained. But today I invest my money in my company and I start to produce. My own movies I'm also investing a lot of money for my own line of lingerie.(ready soon) * How would you describe your negotiation skills? What kind of business woman are you? Katsuni: It took me time to learn how to make business but today I feel comfortable with that. I would say that I'm confident, I know what I want and what I don't want; I always listen to people who have more experience and try to make a balance between my dreams, my instinct, my opinions and of course the market. I 'm very picky and can be difficult but I'm always loyal with people I work with and most of all I'm honnest. I never forget that you can't be successfull alone. You have to work in a team, with the right partners, and once you found them you must trust them but also get your own space and keep it. * What colour are you most associated with? Katsuni: I would say red. * Your success in following your passions is a good example to other women. In light of your success, what would you say to encourage other women considering career in porn? Katsuni: I would never encourage a woman to do porn. This is not a regular job, it's really difficult and even if there are great sides you must know that once you start this job you whole life changes. So I will only give advices to the ones who already made their choice: - don't do this job if you just to be a star of if you dream of something else, - take care of yourself and respect yourself if you want people to respect you, - have a healthy life, - be professionnal, - determine yourself your limits, - give yourself a goal, plan your career, make real choices and don't follow anybody, - do only things you enjoy, don't do this job for anybody else than yourself, - save your money..... - and enjoy what you do! * What are your hobbies, obsession or passion? Katsuni: My 1st hobby is my job! As soon as I have time I love doing things around my job: looking for new ideas for the next scenes I'm about to produce, improving my website, communicating on myspace, facebook, looking for new ideas and costumes for my shows, booking new photoshoots, finding new projects... and once all these things are done, I also like going to the gym (in fact we can say that it's also a part of my job), I love relaxing in a spa, having massages. I love going to the cinema with my boyfriend, going to good restaurants, reading a good book, spending time with my friends, visit my family. I used to be obsessed by martial arts and drawing but I don't have enough time for that. I don't have obsession anymore but I still touch myself a lot! * What foods do you cook/eat most often? Katsuni: I'm better to eat than to cook lol I love french food but I'm very open-minded. I eat a lot of vegetables, pasta and rice and of course I couldn't live without my daily french baguette lol. * What are your business objectives for the next several years? Katsuni: To keep doing nice movies as an actress, developping my company of video production. To make my offcial website www.clubkatsuni.com a reference on the web for adults. I also focus a lot on my brand of lingerie. It's a new experience for me and another career. I'm very excited about that! Interview with Vivid Girl Sunny Leone - Penthouse Pet of the Year | |
