- I was never considered the girl next door, but always wanted to be.
- [on her career goals as a porn actress] To make a name for myself. I want to be able to come back to AVN [the AVN Awards Show] next year and walk around and have people say, "Hey, that's Kelsey Michaels!" and start naming off my videos.
- [on the pros and cons of the adult film business] The pros are getting your name out there and becoming something you want to be. The cons are it's really hard to have a relationship in this business. I mean, you're having sex with other people. Sex is supposed to be something that's intimate between you and your partner. But I believe there is a difference between "f**king" and actually having sex.
- [on working in the adult film industry] There are times that I really get tired and think I'm ready to quit, but then I think of it as a job. Of course you're going to get tired of it and want to quit. It's just like working at McDonald's or something. You're gonna get tired of flippin' burgers!
