She was born in California but grew up in Dunfermline, Scotland, where her parents had taken up positions as missionaries. The household was devout, and she remembers the specific weight of small transgressions — a Marilyn Manson shirt that upset her parents more than most things she'd done before it. She started in alternative and fetish modeling, first in Europe, then back in the States, before a modeling company asked her to film a girl-on-girl scene. She did it, got into it, filmed more, and still didn't see a career coming. Her parents eventually came around — she has said publicly that they accompanied her to the AVN Awards, which is either a remarkable act of parental acceptance or a story that gets stranger the longer you sit with it. She retired from adult film in the mid-2010s to focus on songwriting and mainstream acting. She identifies as bisexual and has spoken openly about her ability to orgasm on command, explaining the technique — Kegel exercises and controlled breathing — in interviews without any apparent embarrassment. She no longer practices organized religion but says the love of the female form that started with a childhood crush on Jessica Rabbit never went anywhere.
