ON BEING SEXUALLY ACTIVE AT A YOUNG AGE

Jenna: I was searching for things in the wrong places & that was in boys. I just needed somebody to talk to at the time. You know it was right around the time when I was becoming a woman.

ON HER PORN CAREER

Jenna: Having sex with somebody that I don't care about isn't hard in any way. You don't think about it as a loving act, you think about it as work.

Jenna: I really do think that a lot of the rage that I have comes out in the sex that I have, and the career that I've chosen. It's my way of righting everything. I feel in control and I know I am in control and I like that.

Jenna: I wanted to show people that I wasn't that weak victim, I wanted to show them that I didn't need anyone to help me, when in all actuality, that's exactly what I needed.

Larry Massoli, Jenna's father: You don't pick those things for your children but, you know, she's a big girl and she was gonna do it no matter what, I had to back her up. As tough as it was for me ... I had to back her up

AFTER BEING RAPED

Jenna: I couldn't deal with it. I wanted to die. It's as simple as that, and I got to the point where I wouldn't come out of my room, I didn't say a word in months, I stopped going to school, I wouldn't say anything, no ... I mean, and they just left me alone.

Jenna: I remember coming home and being beat-, having been beaten, and lying to my father ... that I got in a fight in school. And I remember my father punishing me because of that. When, in my reality, I ... had been gang raped.

ON THE LACK OF HAPPINESS

Jenna: I realized that there was something missing in my life. Even though I had a Lamborghini in my garage, I had 100 Louis Vuitton purses, it doesn't matter. None of it matters.

ON HER MOTHER'S DEATH

Jenna: My life would be completely different if I had a mother. I know for a fact. I've gone over it a million times in my mind.

HER FATHER AND BROTHER ON HER STRIPPING CAREER

Larry Massoli, Jenna's father: I always tried to do the right thing. Whether I did them ... wrong or I did them right, I mean, who knows. Would I do things differently? Wouldn't we all?

Tony Massoli, Jenna's brother: Nobody wants their sister to be a stripper, but better for your sister to be a stripper than dead.

ON WANTING A CHILD

Jenna: I'd give up anything to have a child. I'd give up everything that I have.

Jenna: I ... know that when I get pregnant, I will never step foot in the adult industry again. Not because I feel shameful about it, but because I want to be able to focus every bit of my energy on that child.
