Bored to tears with same old softball questions to a bunch of douche bags you could care less about? Me too! That’s why we track down the most interesting people and ask them the questions that you wanna know.
This week we tracked down the greatest star or stage or screen to ask some serious questions about some serious shit. Ladies and Gentlemen; Seka.
FO: Holy Shit! I can’t believe I’m talking to you. Can I kiss your ass for a second and tell you how you changed my life for a minute or two?
Seka: (laughing) You’re sweet. I appreciate the flattery.
FO: Seriously, thanks for taking a minute Seka. We’re all big fans of your work and we’re really honored that you would be our first victim for an interview. Now, what the hell is wrong with adult films today and why do they suck compared to the years that you were crowned “The Platinum Princess”?
Seka: I just don’t think they’re sexy. There’s no mystique…There’s no foreplay. They’re made for DVD’s now. They’ve lost the qualities that made those years special. They’re just not sexy.
FO: What was the major reason for you getting out of the movie business?
Seka: Actually, I didn’t get out of the movie business per say, but I’m not doing movies anymore because I like to live. The industry today doesn’t have enough testing anymore. There just isn’t enough protection for the actors and actress’. The direction of the industry just isn’t in sync with my perception of what it could be. These new movies almost seem violent, you know? I mean, they just try to fill every orifice they can…They just stick something in there and that’s not my bag.
FO: How were you affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 80’s?
Seka: I think everyone was and is affected by the HIV explosion of the 80’s. It has really changed the world. As an individual, it has only touched me by having to see good friends devastated by the disease. I get tested every month. It’s just another reason why I don’t do adult films…I like to live.
FO: Who was the coolest actor or actress in the adult film industry? Seka: Oh my gosh. I really enjoyed my experiences making films. I’d have to say that my favorites were: John Holmes, Mike Ranger , Paul Thomas, Jamie Gillis…Jamie was really the coolest. He had such a great sense of humor. Actress wise, I’d have to say my all time favorite is Veronica Hart. She has a famous saying "As long as I have a face, Seka has a place to sit." Aunt Peg was great too. She was really funny. Kay Parker was great too. I really liked Candida Royalle. She was the coolest.
FO: Who was the biggest Dick?
Seka: (laughing) Well, which way do you mean it? John Holmes had the biggest penis. I never saw a bigger one than that. I mean, it was huge! I don’t know if ever want to see a dick that big again. Seriously though, there are plenty of assholes in the industry, but I don’t believe in naming people. Nothing good can come from it. I just don’t like that kind of karma. I’m sure they know they’re assholes.
FO: Was John Holmes a wild junkie, as he’s been portrayed? And what were your thoughts when found out that he was making movies after we was diagnosed with HIV?
Seka: You know, John was a complete gentleman to me. He always treated me with respect and I got along with him great. I guess I was one of the few. Whether he was a junkie or not, is not my place. Gosh, I wasn’t making movies when he found out about he was positive. Again, that’s why I don’t make movies any more…I like to live.
FO: Are you as wild off camera as you are on?
Seka: OH YES!!!!!
FO: So, they finally made a movie about you; Desperately Seeking Seka. Do you like the way the movie came out? Any chance we’ll see you write your own?
Seka: I liked the way the movie came out. These two Swedish guys actually came to America in search of me and wanted to interview me, so they made a movie it. There’s some great interview with people in the industry they met with while tracking me down. I think it came out pretty nice. I think you will see me creating my own documentary one of these days. I’m also working on an autobiography as well as a coffee table book. Don’t forget I made Careful He May Be Watching, which won some awards.
FO: What are some of your favorite movies (all genres)?
Seka: I love movies. Let’s see; Where’s Papa?, Gladiator, Caligula, Street Car Named Desire, Shrek 1 and 2… loved both of those movies. As far as Adult films, I love to watch all the movies with Veronica Hart, Candida Royalle, Constance Money and Jamie Gillis.
FO: What are your top 5 records?
Seka: That’s tough. I’m really into music. I’d say that you could randomly pick 5 records from either The Rolling Stones or Aerosmith and I would be happy. Those are my two favorite bands.
FO: Have you ever made it with any famous musicians?
Seka: You know, some things are best left to the imagination.
FO: Did you ever try out for a mainstream movie? I would flip the fuck out if I ever saw you in a horror movie!
Seka: It’s funny you should ask. I’ve been talking with some people about a few different projects in the future I had a small roll in Paul Brickman’s Men Don’t Leave in 1989. I had a ball doing The Chiller Theater convention earlier this month. Not only were the fans so good to me, but the guys who worked the show were fans sweet to me also. I want to go to the next one in October I had so much fun.
FO: Do you still get lots of fan mail these days? What do most men want from Seka?
Seka: I sure do. The only difference now, is that its email. I’d say most men who contact me pretty much all want the same thing…THEY WANNA DO ME! (laughing)
FO: Speaking of getting done on all fours, congratulations on finally getting seka.com. I’ve been following the case on the net and I was shocked that you had to work so hard to get the domain name. What the hell happened?
Seka: The important thing that I got it now. I actually got the news from my attorney at the great Anderson and Associates on my birthday April 15th. Talk about a happy birthday…
FO: What do you say to your fans? How do you deal with people on the street asking autographs or photos?
Seka: I’ve been very lucky to meet so many nice people. I hear the stories about the nutty fans and it makes me sick. I really try to be as accommodating as possible. Nice gets you nice.
FO: What would you be doing now if you hadn’t gotten into the film industry?
Seka: Wow, I’d probably be married and having babies which is a scary thought. I mean, I love my life. I think I would be a completely different person had I not made that first movie.
FO: What do you think about this situation in Iraq?
Seka: It really sucks. We shouldn’t have to be there. But we had to do something. Unfortunately, we were forced.
FO: What is the biggest problem facing America now, and how do you think we can resolve it?
Seka: I think the biggest problem facing America now is the same problem facing the entire world; How can we maintain peace? America is now in the grips of fear. The terrorist attacks of 9-11 have made such an impact on America psyche, that we now live in fear. And that is why we are in Iraq. And now a number of humans will die so that many more humans can live in peace.
FO: That was powerful. So, will you marry me? If so, tell me what I need to do to keep you happy. If not, tell me what the future holds for you.
Seka: (laughing) NO! (laughing) I’m not getting married ever again! I’d say that I am a very happy person. I mean, I love to laugh and really enjoy each day. And that’s important, because if you’re not happy with yourself, you’ll never be happy with anyone else. The best way to impress me is to just be nice. You gotta be nice to people. My future is bright. I’ve got some great friends. I’m working on combining seka.com with officialseka.com, the autobiography, some scripts, the coffee table book…God, I have some great photographs that never saw the light of day, the Glamourcon and Chiller coming up. Check out my schedule. Life is good.
