Talking dimwits and douches with Adam & Eve contract star Ava Rose

By Troy Michael

Coming to the porn business by the way of Alaska then by the way of Las Vegas, Ava Rose has made a big impact in the adult film industry in her two-plus-year career. After about 20 gonzo-style films, Ava was snatched up by Adam & Eve, which signed the 34C-26-36 black-haired beauty to a multi-year contract.

With more then 50 adult movies under her belt, 5’ 6” super star Ava Rose has appeared in such major hits from Adam & Eve as Contractor 2; Double Trouble (where she appeared with her sister Mia Rose); It’s All About Ava; Lady Scarface; Pulp Friction; and Eden.

I had a chance to sit down with the Adam & Eve contract star one Thursday morning over pancakes and bacon to talk about growing up in Alaska, her love for criminal psychology and the “douche bags” in the adult film industry.

So I’ve never met anyone from Alaska, what is life like in the frozen tundra?

I only lived there until I was 10-years-old, then we moved to Las Vegas. But it was actually fun there. Well, I guess it is cool when you are a little kid with all the snow days and stuff. But after I left there and got older, I realized there was a high suicide rate in Alaska.

Maybe it is because of all the cold and lack of sun?

Probably. It’s kind of weird going out at 12:01 p.m. to the video store and it is dark at lunch time.

Did your parents move around a lot when you were growing up?

No not at all, just that move from Alaska then to Las Vegas.

Are they cool with you and your sister Mia Rose careers in porn?

They know what we do, and they are not in complete support, but they haven’t disowned us. They are actually really cool parents, I love my parents - we get along really well.

Well you are doing well for yourself now with the Adam & Eve contract, so I am sure that proves something to your parents. How is the contract working for you?

I love everyone at Adam & Eve. They are so sweet and completely supportive of what I want to do. They enable my laziness.

Are you a lazy person?

I’m not lazy, well I mean when I work I work hard, but it is also nice to chill out and do do nothing.

(Ava busts out laughing)

I just said “do do.” I am so immature sometimes it’s funny.

Adam & Eve must be so proud!

I sure hope so. But yeah, back to what I was saying before the do do. If I didn’t get the contract I’d still be around doing gonzo porn. But I wouldn’t be around in three or four years, that’s what this contract affords me. It also helps with my budgets.

You have a budget? Did you buy anything extravagant when you first signed the contract?

No not really. I bought my dog, a Maltese named Charlie, he is so awesome. But I haven’t bought anything huge. Like I said I have a budget, I don’t want to end up broke like most girls. I can see where they come into this business and get paid a lot of money then blow it, that’s easy to do. I think we all go through those spending sprees. But then they wonder where all the money goes.

You mentioned Charlie, are you one of those people who dress your dog up and carry him in a purse?

I do take him places and I admit I bought him a shirt once that said “chick magnet” but he looked at me like “what the fuck are you doing?” I still have the shirt, but he won’t wear it.

What is the strangest and/or funniest rumor you have heard about you in the adult film industry?

That I had gotten fat, but it was true and not so strange. When I quit drugs a year ago I got fat and it took six months to get my fat ass to the gym.

Congratulations on being sober, did you go to rehab?

No not at all, I just decided to put down the crack pipe. I was smoking speed and decided to quit.

So there was no porn intervention like the television show?

No not at all. It was easy for me. I see those people on that show and it makes me sad a little bit. I was no where near as bad as they are.

Well good for you. It looks like, dare I say everything is coming up roses for Ava. What’s next for you?

I don’t know really. I know I got another two years on my contract and we will see what happens after that. Until then I will continue to make movies.

You have no aspirations of being on of those girls who go from in front of the camera to behind the camera as a director?

No not at all. What I’d really like to do is go back to school to become a criminal psychologist. I fucking love that shit. I have read hundreds of criminal psychology books and it really interests me. But I am not into the serial killer type crimes. I like the crimes where an everyday person just snaps and goes on a killing spree. I wonder what makes them tick.

But also I think about opening up a coffee shop. I mean realistically am I going to be a criminal psychologist? I don’t know.

Until then you are still with Adam & Eve. You recently went to Budapest to shoot Caroline Jones and went to Hawaii to film Eden. How was that?

Well I was on KSEX and I said the director (Daniel Dakota) for Eden was a douche and I got a call the next morning. But he was a douche. (Ava in a sarcastic tone) So Eden was great, it was a lot of fun and the film is selling well, so that’s good… right?

Aside from douche bag directors, what do you like about porn?

I don’t know… I like the fans, the travel and some of the people I work with. Honestly, when I got into porn I didn’t know shit, I still don’t, and Mia knew every thing because she researched it all.

How does it feel too meet these fans and know they jerk off to watching you get fucked?

It’s awesome, even though it always seems every guy forgot deodorant and breathe mints. But you know they are the reasons I make movies and get paid.

What’s the dumbest question you’ve ever been asked?

How did I get into the business? I get that one a lot. When I first came into the business people would ask me a lot if me and Mia ever had sex. (Makes gagging sound.) I read somewhere that the Stevens sisters said they fucked each other but they were drunk at the time. Whatever, they are a bunch of dimwits.
