[in June 1999] I left last time to go back to college and I also left because I was
getting tired of the business. It wasn't fun for me. When I first got
into the business it was more as a fan. I was thrilled to be working
with all these people. Then it became a business, which of course it
is, and should be. But I wasn't having fun. I was coming to work being
Leanni Lei, porn star, not Leanni Lei, girl having fun, excited about
having sex. I got sick of it. I started doing features, and doing
promotion, having to actually be a porn star and having to kind of
pretend to be some nympho. I'm not a nympho. Don't get me wrong, I love
sex, but I love sex when the magic is there. So I was getting sick of
it and went back to college, pretty sure I was done. I had a lot of
time to think about it over the year and I got back into town four days
ago with a new attitude. Some people may not want to hear this, but
it's the honest truth. I am doing porno for the money because I am
trying to pay my tuition, but, and I mean this, I still enjoy doing
this. As long as I get to work with good people, I still enjoy the sex.
I am not going to do scenes I don't enjoy. You are not going to see me
doing scenes just for the money. Does that make sense?
