Tera was a great interview! Besides being one of the sweetest and most humble of interviewees, she was very honest and open.

Tera Patrick<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nASIANCE: Margaret Cho loves you. The following is something she wrote in the foreword of your book: \u201cIn this book you’ll learn that when Tera was a little Asian girl, she looked up to a blond goddess of her own: Marilyn Monroe. But what Tera realized even then was that it wasn’t Marilyn’s blond hair that mattered. It was her power, and the fact that the whole world couldn’t stop looking. Tera Patrick-as an Asian-American porn star-has shattered what people expected and demanded from Asian-American women. Because of her, we are seen in our entirety. We are seen as whole. Not only our beautiful faces and bodies but the forbidden things that we\u2019re not allowed to show, our sexuality and our desire.\u201d That\u2019s a pretty influential statement. Asian American women look to you as pretty much a liberal Asian, when most are brought up in a strict household. What do you think of that?<\/h3>\n
Tera:<\/b> Oh I\u2019m like their JLo. I\u2019m the JLo for Asian girls!<\/p>\n
I chose Margaret to write the foreward. When I first started to write my book, I was actually working with another writer. He was a man. I just didn\u2019t click with him. When I met Carrie Borzillo (entertainment journalist and author of Cherry Bomb and Eyewitness Nirvana), she basically marched into my office and said, \u201cI want to write your book!\u201d And I said, \u201cYeah. I need a female to write my book.\u201d<\/p>\n
