I had never even thought about porno, but I loved it. I guess I was sexually repressed. I got my sex education on film, including my first orgasm, so my fans have watched me grow from a girl to a woman and I feel I have a very special relationship with them. Once into it, I decided I might as well do the best I could. Before long I got signed by Vivid, which is the pinnacle for anyone interested in erotic acting.

When my adult acting career is over, I want to go behind the scenes to start my own line of adult movies, work on my Website and return to college full-time. Meanwhile, I work out every day, pay special attention to boxing and weight lifting routine I have developed. I also indulge in my favorite sports – motocross racing and snowboarding. Sims Snowboards will introduce two Briana Banks boards with images of me clothed and nude in its Fader line this fall (:

My mother is German and father is Italian, I lived in Germany and England until I was seven, when my mother moved to California. In high school I was a studious, shy, kid who played volleyball and ran track (I still holds the school record for the mile at Royal High). I rarely dated and didn’t even kiss a boy until I was 17. As a teenager I was awarded custody of my younger sister and held down jobs as a waitress and fashion model to pay for rent and groceries. I got into the adult business when I was 19.

I always thought of myself as a skinny, dorky, giraffe looking kid. Even though I had made the cover of Teen magazine as a model, I wasn’t making any money. The day I quit my insurance job I got in a car accident and didn’t even have enough cash to move my sister and me into an apartment from the room we’d been renting, so I answered an ad in L.A. Weekly that said I could make up to $1,000 a day modeling. And since then, my life has never been better (:
