I talked to Sasha around four o'clock, in the middle of an all-day press junket. She was exhausted, understandably. "I've been up since six," she says, "and I'm not a morning person. But I'm hanging in there." Since Sasha's positioned herself as the "intellectual" porn star -- she loves to talk to reporters about existentialism and Jean-Luc Godard and other topics suitably pretentious -- I had hoped to spend the second half of the interview grilling her with a spelling bee. Tragically, we ran out of time. Here's what we did get to:
SP: I’d expected your character in your film to be more like the person you are in interviews. I expected you to be playing yourself. But you’re not -- you’re really playing a character here. Were you nervous about whether or not you could make that transition, since you’ve said that in your adult film work you play yourself?
SG: Yeah, I was really excited and happy to be able to prepare for this character, and I did as much as I could. Obviously, the thing I was nervous about the most would be a) working with Stephen and b) Relaxing in front of the camera. Because it’s so easy to be yourself in front of a camera, but to embody this person and talk the way this person would talk was really difficult for the first three or four days -- settling in and getting used to that aspect of it.
SG: Even better than I expected. Because I was going to porno Hollywood [laughs]. I expected to be in this business for seven or eight years, and direct a few of my own adult films, and kind of make an effect in the inner industry. And that impact, socially and culturally speaking, has gone a lot further than I’d ever expected. And my career and my life has gone even further than I ever would have expected -- in a positive direction.
SP: You embrace your sexuality and the outer limits of female sexuality, and you’ve talked about one of your goals being to promote acceptance of female sexuality. Where did that come from? How were you raised with regards to those issues? When did this mission start?
SG: I was the oldest virgin out of all my friends. I was never really able to have an open dialogue with my mother or my sister about sexuality. I was always made to feel so ashamed. I think once I finally started having sex, it was like a light bulb went off, almost. I found it ridiculous that I was made to feel so guilty about the fantasies that I had. In talking to my girlfriends about their sexual experiences, sometimes they would think some of the stuff that I was into was crazy and weird. And I just thought, you know, why should we have to have that outlook on our sexuality? Everybody’s different, and everybody’s allowed to have their own tastes, as long as they’re not hurting anybody.
SP: As you become more of a mainstream figure and a recognizable name, there’s been something of a backlash against you and what you do for a living. A lot of people don’t seem to appreciate or understand what you stand for. Does that hurt you?
SG: No, it doesn’t hurt my feelings. You have to have a strong backbone if you work in the entertainment business, whether it be adult films or not. Everybody’s entitled to their own opinions. You don’t have to subscribe to my opinion and I don’t have to subscribe to yours, and that’s that.
SP: I know you’re interested in getting into music. Tell me more about that.
SG: Yeah, my band ATelecine released an EP in January. We’re also working on a full-length album; it’ll be a ten-inch. It’s all done through a Brooklyn-based label. It’s really experimental in the truest sense, because, true to my character, I try not to repeat things I’ve done in the past in a creative sense.
SP: So what was it like in school for you? Were you a good student?
SG: I was a good student. I hated school, though [laughs]. I had a lot of friends, I was sort of a pretty good kid. I was sneaky, but I always did what I had to get done. I just hated school.
SP: What were your favorite subjects?
SG: English, definitely. I like to write.
Ο Κετσπάγια ξέρει ότι αυτή την στιγμή έχει ένα μονόδρομο μπροστά του: να περάσει την ομάδα στη φάση των ομίλων του Τσάμπιονς λιγκ. Αν τα καταφέρει, θα έχει κάνει το πρώτο βήμα στην προσπάθειά του να κερδίσει τους οπαδούς του Ολυμπιακού. Διαφορετικά..

Μετά την ταπεινωτική ήττα του Ολυμπιακού χθες από τον Παναθηναϊκό στο Μπάσκετ, ο προπονητής της ομάδας Παναγιώτης Γιαννάκης παίρνει δρόμο.
"Έχει ήδη φύγει" είπε ο Φίλιππος Συρίγος στον...
Νίκο Χατζηνικολάου πριν από λίγο στον RealFm. Κανονικά δεν πρέπει να τον αφήσει η διοίκηση στο πάγκο για να ικανοποιηθεί ο θυμός του κόσμου, ούτε στο μεθαυριανό αγώνα", είπε ο δημοσιογράφος που γνωρίζει το Μπάσκετ όσο κανείς άλλος στην Ελλάδα.
Καταλόγισε στον Γιαννάκη διάφορες εμμονές για κάποιους παίκτες, και χαρακτήρισε τον Ολυμπιακό με αυτόν τον προπονητή απλώς καλή, και όχι μεγάλη ομάδα.
Για τον Παπαλουκά είπε πως είναι κουρασμένος και θύμισε στον Χατζηνικολάου πως είναι ήδη και 32 ετών
Συρίγος speaking...
Ε, μα φυσικά και μας πήρε στο ψιλό ο Μιτσικώστας!
Και που να δείτε τι έχει να γίνει όταν ανακοινωθεί κιόλας και αρχίσουν να μας παίρνουν στο ψιλό και όλοι οι υπόλοιποι...
The actress announced her happy news to the crowd at the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally in New York City on Sunday, reports Access Hollywood.
Nixon's co-star Kristin Davis, who also loaned her support to the gay rights event, looked on as Nixon told protesters she and Marinoni became engaged last month.
The couple began dating after Nixon split from her husband Danny Mozes in 2003.

Acclaimed Greek shadow theatre artist Evgenios Spatharis has died after suffering head injuries in a fall. He was 85.
Spatharis died on 10 May at an Athens hospital after falling from a staircase on his way to a performance.
He is credited with bringing the traditional Karagiozis puppet-theatre plays - about a thief who wormed his way out of difficult situations - to mass audiences through television, recordings and cinema.
Spatharis created the Spathario Museum in a suburb north of Athens in 1991, devoted exclusively to his art - a dying medium in Greece and once the only organised form of public entertainment.
He also collaborated with theatre and dance companies to expand the art form and was honoured with several awards throughout his 67-year-long career.
In 1962 he was honoured with the Rome Prize - a prestigious American award handed to emerging artists.
More recently, Spatharis was recognised by the Greek culture ministry, whose directors handed him the title of 'Grand Master' in recognition of his great contribution to his art in 2007.
