Hammer: You said you’re not much of a Night Owl.

Devinn: Not when I’m at home. When I’m at home I’m kinda just laid back, I suppose like a “regular” person.
I tend to go to bed at like 10:30 or 11 o’clock.

Hammer: So early?

Devinn: Yeah it is early, but my cat and my dog wake me up at 6:30 every morning. My cat is like a
rooster – I swear to God, I caught her doing it, she sits on my bedpost, right next to the window
so she can see out the window, so she can watch the sun rise. As soon as the sun peaks over the
trees, she comes down and starts making bread on my neck, and she wants her breakfast, so I have
to get up, and I’m like…. damnit

Hammer: So cats and dogs huh? You’re an animal person then, I take it?

Devinn: I am.

Hammer: Do you have a preference?

Devinn: No, I don’t.

Hammer: If you were reincarnated would you rather come back as a cat or a dog?

Devinn: If I were reincarnated.. hmmmmmm.

Hammer: If reincarnation is the way it works out. If that’s the right theory.

Devinn: …. I’d rather come back as a cat

Hammer: That’s what I’d say. A lazy house cat for a nice rich family. Sleep all day, get some good food.

Devinn: I just like the independence of a cat. Dogs are extremely loyal, and I don’t know…

Hammer: Yeah, I guess you’d kinda rely on your owner, if you were a pet dog.

Devinn: Yeah, my dog is very, very loyal. You rely on the owner, and my dog is very sensitive. She
gets sick when I leave sometimes.

Hammer: How long have you had the dog?

Devinn: About 6 months, she was a rescue.

Hammer: How long have you had the cat?

Devinn: Almost a year. I rescued her, but she was 8 weeks old.

Hammer: You live in California, correct?

Devinn: I’ve lived in California most of my life. Except for 4 years I lived in Tennessee.

Hammer: You live out there now with the cat and dog, and you have a child right?

Devinn: Yeah, I have a daughter that’s 17.

Hammer: No husband now.

Devinn: No. I’ve been married before. I’ve been divorced for almost 6 years now. I’m in no hurry
to get remarried.

Hammer: OK, California, you have Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor. Did you vote for Arnie? Or
did you vote for Gary Coleman? Or your fellow pornstar Mary Carey?

Devinn: I didn’t vote for governor.

Hammer: Are you a “bad American?”

Devinn: I voted for president. I do vote for president and I vote on certain propositions and things.
I just felt we really didn’t have a great candidate to vote for for governor, so I didn’t vote.

Hammer: So you’re not happy with Arnie?

Devinn: You know, he seems to be doing an OK job. But the fact that we just had a really huge fire,
and he wouldn’t release like 3,000 reserve firefighters … was a pretty shitty move on his part. We
needed those people, and we could have done without all the smoke and ashes sitting in our
lungs and in our cars, and burning up people homes.

Hammer: Fires are a problem in California sometimes. But, you said you grew up there, and Wicked
Pictures is there too right? You are a Wicked Girl, what does that mean?

Devinn: I been a contract girl for them for 5 years. I primarily direct and produce for them, and do
promotional work, for them now. I’ve got a couple new releases – “Lover’s Lane” and “Beautiful/Nasty 3”
just came out. “Beautiful/Nasty” is a series I produce myself. Since the beginning of my adult career I’ve
pretty muchworked for them. I’ve done a few movies for some other companies, but a big chunk of my
work has
been with Wicked.

Hammer: How did you get into the adult industry?

Devinn: I actually was a house girl, at a strip club, and somebody came in and said you’d make a great
Penthouse Pet. And I was like, “Yeah right buddy, whatever, I’ve heard all the great pick up lines …
that’s a really retarded one. Come one, gimme a better one.” But it turned out he was for real, and he
gave me a bunch of references, and I was kinda tired of dancing in clubs, it wasn’t much of a challenge,
so I thought…. You know what, I’ll go into this business and treat it like a business, just like I did with
stripping, and see what I can do with it. And I’ve done quite a bit with it – my magazines to the
Howard Stern appearance, to the owner of Wicked seeing me on that appearance and hiring me, cause
he really liked how I handled myself in that situation, and liked my look.

Hammer: You said Howard Stern was nice? Did you go on there just as a dancer?

Devinn: I went on there as the current Penthouse Pet, the cover and centerfold for November 1999.
And I went on again to for Playboy TV to do some promotional work for “7 Lives Exposed” – a series Devinn
hosted on Playboy.The first (appearance) I did was the one that was one of the top 25 Stern
shows of all time. It was the infamous story about me being the current Penthouse Pet, my brother had
called in and he said “My sister is the current Penthouse Pet our dad’s a minister and I’m gay.” And Howard
said, “We gotta get them in here.”So my brother and I went I Stern together. I didn’t have anyone in the
business who got me in, my brother actually got me in to Stern, and because of that I was seen by people
in the industry and I got the Wicked job.

Hammer: Hey, it works out sometimes.

Devinn: Yeah, it worked out. And it was nice that I did the footwork myself.

Hammer: Then you started doing the movies. You did lesbian movies at first right?

Devinn: I was a “girl/girl” performer for 3 years before I moved over and did a “boy/girl” film, for the past
2 years. I’ve always been bisexual, it’s justs, sex with a man was something that was much more personal
for me, it wasn’t really something I was ready to put on film, cause I was aware that once you put it on
film it lives forever. But, once I felt comfortable with the male talent – cause that’s essentially what I
was doing, I was sitting around shopping for 3 years; who are the assholes, who are people with drug
problems, who are the people I wanna work with or stay clear of – so by the time I was ready I had a
good idea of who I wanted to work with.

Hammer: I saw that first ‘boy/girl” appearance, what film was that?

Devinn: “Devinn Lane Show #5”

Hammer: That was a hot scene.

Devinn: Thank you.

Hammer: You directed that though and, like you said, you’re mostly directing and producing now, is
that common for a lot of porn stars to go into directing and producing? How did that end up for you?

Devinn: I would say aside from Jane Hamilton, that I’m probably one of the first female performers
to go in and start directing.

Hammer: Yeah, the only other person who I found, that I think does that, is Jill Kelly.

Devinn: She has her production company, but I’m not sure if she directs them herself. I’ve been
directing and producing things for 4 years for Wicked.

Hammer: How did that come about? You just wanted more power over your films?

Devinn: When I signed up as a contract girl I told them that that would be my natural transition.
That is where I wanted to go.

Hammer: Did you have a background in film?

Devinn: None, zero.

Hammer: You never went to school for that stuff?

Devinn: No, I never went to school for film or anything like that. I learn quick. I sat and I watched all
the directors and producers that I worked for, and shot movies of me, and I paid attention.

Hammer: Was there someone who really helped you out more than others? Like a mentor type?

Devinn: No not really.

Hammer: You just took a little from everybody?

Devinn: I did. I think I took a little from everybody. I think what I like to shoot is not what everybody
else likes to shoot, I like to shoot the “reality” type stuff.

Hammer: Is that the “gonzo” porn?

Devinn: It’s not necessarily “gonzo” Like “road trips” kinda stuff. Like I took a bunch of porn stars out
and we did a tour at a brothel in Nevada and we used their fantasy rooms to shoot, and we took quad
runners out in the sand dunes, and just shot off fireworks, and it was just naked chicks on sand and it
was really a lot of fun. We did it all in a 29 foot RV pulling quad runners.

Hammer: Just shooting on digital cameras?

Devinn: Yeah. Everything was really spontaneous.

Hammer: And you help with the editing and things also.

Devinn: Yeah I do. Everything was really, really spontaneous at this shoot. That’s what made it a
lot of fun. Cause I took all of these people completely out of their element, threw them in an
entirely different environment and said “OK, lemme shake up the can and see what happens. And
now I’m gonna shoot it.”

Hammer: Do you edit those a lot? Or do you leave in all those candid moments?

Devinn: You do, you leave in a lot. You shoot more tape on those type of things though, and the
editing process takes a little bit longer, cause there’s a lot to sift through. It’s just great fun. And I like
producing “Beautiful/Nast” cause it’s all girl, and I used to be an all girl performer, so I produce really
good all girl products.

Hammer: Are you still under exclusive contract with Wicked?

Devinn: No. I work for them, and I’m currently working on other things for my own company.

Hammer: What’s your company called?

Devinn: Which one?

Hammer: Don’t throw questions at me Devinn, come on…

Devinn: Lane Entertainment is my company and everything falls under that – like Club Fast Lane,
which is predominately the tours and stuff

Hammer: So…… you do some movies and you do these porn star vacation trips to Jamaica …

Devinn: Yeah that’s club Fast Lane. Basically I bring porn stars down to exotic locations – like in March
we’re going to Jamaica for Hedonism 3 – and I just invite fans, male and female, because I bring male
and female porn stars, and people come down and we just vacation and party, and we go on private
excursions, just our group, and we do private things…. So you’re paying to have more one-on-one kinda,
real contact with these people instead of waiting in line for 3 hours at a convention. You spend your money,
you go down for a whole week…. And the last group I did was sold out.

Hammer: How many people was that?

Devinn: 50 people.

Hammer: How long have you been doing the trips, the “Fast Lane?”

Devinn: This one coming up will be my third. We do one a year now. In 2006 it will be 2 a year and in
2007 I’ll start quarterly events, in different locations.

Hammer: People can find out about that on your Web site?

Devinn: Yeah, Club Fast Lane.com “Come live life in the Fast Lane” It’s fun.

Hammer: So, you do these trips, and you shoot in the desert, and you told me before you have gone
to the Burning Man events – are you into these type of sub-culture entertainment things. What else
do you do? Other than the adult industry?

Devinn: I like rock climbing, I like backpacking and camping, I like going to wine country, I like really
good wine, I like road trips, I like motorcycles, I like history, I like ATVs, jetskis and boating, I like
traveling..

Hammer: Where have you traveled to?

Devinn: I’ve been to Japan, Taipai, Australia, China, numerous states, Mexico city, Baha, Trinidad,
Jamaica, Canada, France, I think that’s it.

Hammer: Are these place you’ve visited for work, or vacation?

Devinn: Both.

Hammer: Do you have a favorite place?

Devinn: Jamaica

Hammer: Do you have a craziest story?

Devinn: A crazy story?

Hammer: Yeah, a porn story or a travel story.

Devinn: Probably the strangest thing was traveling to France during the Cannes Film festival, through
Wicked. They had taken a big semi with our pictures on it and had gone all around the area for days
before we got there. And when we finally got there and got out, we got a real feel of what
paparazzi really is. It was a little frightening. People just started running out of nowhere and grabbing
at you.

Hammer: Have you ever had to deal with that before?

Devinn: Not a that level, that was the most extreme, but yeah, I get fans around. Like, I just did an
interview on the radio station and there were a couple guys waiting for me. It’s just something you
get used to.

Hammer: What does it take to be successful in the adult industry, to be a star?

Devinn: Who knows, you got me. I can’t say stay away from drugs, cause some of the top porn stars
have been drug addicts and written about it… and I don’t know what it takes honestly. I think it takes
a lot of endurance, a great deal of intelligence, as far as marketing goes, marketing is the key in this
business. The right marketing can take a nobody girl, and you market her heavily, and make her somebody.

Hammer: Did you get a chance to check out www.brokendollz.com?

Devinn: Yeah I did. I liked it. I like that it’s not the stereotypical porn site, it was artistic like you
had mentioned.

Hammer: Do you look at sites like Broken Dollz a lot?

Devinn: No I don’t. I don’t really surf the net that much. I look at the Web for information, things I’m
looking for, but I don’t surf anymore, I had to give it up.

Hammer: But you have your Web sites..

Devinn: Yeah, but I had to cut back. I used to spend hours and I wouldn’t get anything else done.
I was sort of an internet junkie. Let’s go back to being productive here.

Hammer: So are you at a productive point in your life now?

Devinn: I’m at a transitional point. So yeah, I’m productive.

Hammer: You mean transitioning from contract girl to your own thing?

Devinn: Yeah. I’m just putting everything in order so that I’m successful and not rushing it. Not puttin
g all my time and money and energy into this, I’m just making a slow transition, that’s comfortable for me.

Hammer: Well, I’m sure you’ve made enough money from the adult industry to fund your own business,
but what else do you spend your money on?

Devinn: Right now I buy nothing, cause I just bought a house. I’m putting my money in my home.
I gave up charging credit cards…

Hammer: Yeah, it doesn’t work, I spent too much money on strippers with credit cards.

Devinn: I used to spend money on shoes, until I got my dog, and she, for some reason …
really like designer shoes.

Hammer: Likes to eat them huh?

Devinn: Likes to eat them. And the expensive ones too. So, no more $500 shoes for me. So all my
money is going into my house and my business.

Hammer: Alright. Well, people can find out info on you, where?

Devinn: Devinn Lane.com or Club Fast Lane.com – you can email me devinn@devinnlane.com I answer
my own email.

Hammer: You don’t have anybody working for you?

Devinn: No, I will have people working for me next year. But … with an internet-based business and
word-of-mouth business you don’t need it. It cuts cost. I know a lot of girls who have tons of people
working for them and I don’t need the entourage.

Hammer: You could just list names on the Web site, and nobody would know the difference.

Devinn: Maybe, when people work for you, then they wanna travel with you and you have this whole
entourage and it’s just not something I need.

Hammer: Entourage is a good TV show though.

Devinn: It is a good show. What else do you watch, anything?

Devinn: I’ve watched “Desperate Housewives” but it’s not something I could really get into. I tend to
like documentary films, I love South Park. I like the History channel, I like the Learning Channel,
I like Animal Planet…

Hammer: Would you like to cross into those mediums? You’re plan immediately is to grow your business,
but if you could would you want to be in mainstream movies, or a voice on South Park or….

Devinn: I have no aspiration whatsoever to have to appeal to the mainstream world. I could make
so much money behind……..

Hammer: Well yeah, I guess porns a big business.

Devinn: It’s a very big business. I like making the money and meeting the fans, but I don’t feel the
need to be the next big thing. What kind of mainstream contract can I get, or can I get a spot on
this TV show. .. it’s not that important to me. I don’t do anything that doesn’t make me happy, I’ve
always done my own thing.

Hammer: What makes you happy right now?

Devinn: My house, my ani mals, the excitement of the transition, my 3 week vacation I just got off of. I
have a lot of things to be happy and grateful for. Abraham Lincoln, I think it was, says people are as
happy as they make up their minds to be, and I think that’s what it is. I like living a happy life, and
therefore I do.
