AdultFun 411: Hi Ryder. Where are you?
Ryder: I am driving home from the set.
AF: That was a long day then.
R: Yeah, I thought I would be done at 4:30.
AF: Instead you were there for 13 hours.
R: It was a Star Trek spoof so there was a ton of dialog, and makeup took forever.
AF: I love those parodies though, and I love Star Trek.
R: Yeah, I know. I played a Klingon.
AF: That must have been a ton of makeup.
R: It wasn’t bad because they didn’t want to do all the bumps and stuff because it would be too ugly. So they just gave me the little head-dress and put some crystals on my forehead trying to make me a pretty version.
AF: Those two words don’t go together, pretty and Klingon. What movie company is that for?
R: Reality Kings.
AF: I didn’t know they did features.
R: Actually I think it’s a new thing. I was on one of their sites and it was a gonzo site. This set was huge. What they are going to do is do episodes and make new episodes each month. I think it’s an interesting idea, considering that Star Trek is huge.
AF: I love all the parody movies. You just did Gilligan’s Island right?
R: Yeah. I was Ginger. It was fun. I am really cheesy, and I know it’s porn, but because I do the (mainstream) acting on the side, I want to be as good as I can. I put a lot of pressure on myself that way. I actually studied up on the character and tried to do Marilyn Monroe impressions and stuff. And so when I was on I did the whole thing. I am probably going to be embarrassed when I see it. It’s fun being able to do stuff like that.
AF: Well the only reason you could be embarrassed is20because your acting is so much better then everybody else and it sticks out.
R: (Laughs) I don’t know about that. It’s a really silly character, so I might get embarrassed because I look stupid.
AF: It sounds really fun though
R: I love these projects. I can sit on a feature set all day long. I prefer that over gonzo, because you can actually do something with the character, the story line. I think it’s more fun.
AF: But I know the hours are much longer.
R: I’ve been on shoots until four in the morning before. It’s brutal. If they are really taking that much time to make sure it is going to be a good product, then that is what I want though. I want it to be good.
AF: And call times are never even close to work times on features.
R: It’s the same on mainstream sets though. I was on a set last night. I did some background work for an ABC TV show. I got there at 6:45 (am) and thought I should be out of here by 2:00, and I didn’t leave until 9pm. I don’t even know why I assume that I will get out at a reasonable time.
AF: And it sucks when you get paid by the day, so you don’t even get paid extra for being there forever.
R: The background work, I didn’t even want to do it. I did it because the guy who booked it got me the auditions for Dexter, so I wanted to keep a good relationship with him, so I can get on Californication or whatever. Doing background I only get paid SAG rate, which is $145 for the 8 hours.
AF: Just think of the people who have to live on that, and the income is not everyday, just when you can find work.
R: Most of the people on the set doing background work are not SAG, so they get paid $64.
AF: It’s even worse in Florida. My husband did a couple extra roles in movies just for the fun of it, and got paid $45 a day.
R: Oh that is horrible.
AF: One he did, he had to sit in a football stadium in the middle of summer for the whole day. It was like ninety-five degrees and everyone was sweating to death. And so for the day they got a ham and cheese sandwich and forty-five dollars.
R: (Cracks up) If I wasn’t SAG I don’t think I could do it. The pay is just so little. That is why I try and get the higher rate jobs. The one I did on Dexter, you go topless and with overtime that day I made like seven hundred dollars.
AF: Now that’s good pay.
R: It’s awesome. You can make a pretty decent amount of money for not having to do a ton of work.
AF: Plus you get to see yourself on Dexter, which is pretty cool too.
R: I know. I was excited.
AF: I was excited for you because I love that show anyway. You were on quite a bit, I didn’t have to try and find you like happens sometimes when people get on a show.
R: What was funny, or it kind of sucked actually. Remember how Jimmy Smits does that entire speech for Dexter at the Bachelor Party? They cut some of his lines out in editing. Because he had a line that was in direct reference to me and then there was a close up on me.
AF: Oh, so that cut that out, that sucks. What did he say about you?
R: He said “Okay everybody put your packages away. I know there is a lot of beautiful girls”, and then he turns to me. They also cut the scene between the Asian guy and the woman who is running the party. They had a whole conversation and it was cut out.
AF: I remember he did a background check on her and found out she has crimes in her past.
R: She was also on the episode before that when the two of them were planning the party and talking about the nautical theme.
AF: I saw that. Speaking of Asian, you are Asian also, but I didn’t know that until I read about you.
R: I am half Japanese.
AF: You didn’t get the eyes.
R: My Dad is Japanese. When I was younger I looked so much like him, and I barely looked like my Mom, and the older I get the more I look like my Mom. I lost a lot of the Asian.
AF: You have been in a lot of mainstream stuff. You were in Californication too.
R: Unfortunately I was blocked and you see my hair, but that’s it. So I was bummed. But I am completely in love with David Duchavney. And his trailer door was open. when I was leaving, I was thinking should I just walk over and knock and say hello? You aren’t allowed to do that. But then again I am leaving. But I didn’t. Hopefully I get on Californication next season.
AF: What were you on the Maury show for?
R: It was a story about my husband and I, because he is not in the business and I am. They got that information from Details Magazine because they did a story about us.
AF: I heard you weren’t happy with that story.
R: It was horrible. I was really disappointed because the guy was super cool when he came over, but he made shit up. I was really disappointed in the way it was portrayed. Because a lot of stuff wasn’t true.
AF: What did he say in the article that you were upset about?
R: He was saying that when I go to work, by husband is sitting at home thinking about the fact that I am fucking another guy. That doesn’t happen. First of all my husband has as job. So usually when I am at work, he is at work. Second of all, he doesn’t really think much of it. He might ask me about it when I get home, but he doesn’t sit there going Oh My God. It so ridiculous the way they said it.
AF: Most people just don’t understand porn people. In porn, people fuck other people, it’s a job.
R: People don’t understand the difference between on camera… It’s like when I was on Maury, he asked me what is the difference between making love with your husband. I said there is a huge difference. And the whole audience went OH. Like yeah right.
AF: They should show what it is really like on a porn set, with the baby wipes and people bringing you water and taking breaks. AH AH AH CUT.
R: Oh yeah. Today they said we need you to be really loud. I’m like, yeah that’s going to look realistic. I’m thinking how loud can I possible be and make this sound good for them. Not to mention that you have fifteen crew guys standing around watching, and you have a camera and a microphone in your face. It’s uncomfortable. I’ve had sex in a sink, I did it in a refrigerator once. Tables hit you in the back. It’s not exactly like people think it is. And it’s very, very, rarely straight through. For the most part it’s cut and restart and gets technical.
AF: Sixty more seconds of anal then flip her over. It’s really romantic! What is the funniest thing that ever happened when you were doing a sex scene?
R: I always think of that stuff when I am not being asked it. But I was doing a movie for Penthouse and it was a restaurant scene. They had the lighting set up on one table where I was supposed to do my scene on. A little tiny table. And it’s funny because throughout the scene the table had traveled from one side of the room to the other. And we were totally in the dark at that point, and they had to stop and pull everything over and start over again. (laughs)
AF: That is funny. So you obviously took a lot of acting and theater classes, how did you end up in porn?
R: I was a theater major in school. So I knew if I wanted to act I needed to be in LA. So I moved back here. I waited tables for a while and really, really hated it. I wanted a real job, so a friend of mine who was in Human Resources knew a company that was looking for a receptionist. I ended up getting a job there. Long story short, that pulled me out of acting completely. I worked my way up in that company and then found out I was going to get laid off. So I got a job at another company as an executive assistant, and I hated my job and my boss was a skank. So I also got a job at night in a bikini bar. I was dancing at night as my creative outlet. Another girl who worked there also did alternative modeling, so I thought I would try that. Modeling was kind of fun and found out I was comfortable naked. So then I went to an agency and said I wanted to do nude pictures. Well she said they didn’t really do that anymore, it was all video. So I didn’t know if I could do it, but I gave it a try. My first scene was a solo scene. They gave me three toys and they got bigger and bigger. I didn’t think that last one was going to fit. It was funny because they gave me a douche, and I had never seen one before in my life. I didn’t know people used douches in their personal life. I took it in the bathroom and looked at it, and finally I took it back out and asked someone how to do it and they pulled up the little nozzle on the top.
AF: Well that’s not as bad as the girl who drank the enema.
R: (laughs) Oh God I know.
AF: So you heard about that too.
R: I did. I heard after an hour she said, I’m sorry I just can’t get this all down. (laughs)
AF: That’s funny as hell.
R: I have heard other stories too that were similar to that where people do not know what to do with the enema. I totally felt like a jackass. God, drinking that must have been nasty.
AF: I heard that she came out of the bathroom and someone asked her if she did the enema and she said yeah, but I’m feeling sick now. I read that on one of the gossip sites and I laughed until there were tears coming out of my eyes. I could just picture her coming out with the bottle half empty and a straw sticking out of it.
R: It doesn’t even look like something you would drink. It’s not drinking friendly.
AF: So how did you come up with name Ryder Skye?
R: I really liked the name Ryder. It probably got into my head because of Kate Hudson’s kid. I was just Ryder for a while, and then I had to have a last name, so I just picked Skye.
AF: If you were to do your dream porn movie, what would it be about
R: I actually wrote a script. It’s similar to the movie Mulholland Drive. Then I wrote another one similar to Mr. & Mrs. Smith but it’s a comedy. Instead of them being spies, they are porn stars, and they have a boring sex life in their private life. Then they get booked together for a scene.
AF: That’s a great idea for a movie. Okay what is the best sex scene you ever did?
R: I don’t know.
AF: Well you obviously did a great three-way since you got nominated for it by AVN.
R: Oh that one was definitely based on the talent. I got lucky because it was with Eva Angelina and Sammy Rhodes were both fantastic to work with. Those girls were both awesome, and when you have those kind of girls to work with you know you are golden. They were professional and knew what they were doing. It’s different when you work with a girl who isn’t really into girls, they are afraid of it.
AF: Ewww a pussy, get it away from me.
R: (Laughs) it’s like if a girl doesn’t know how to kiss a girl. They know how to kiss a guy. It’s the same thing.
AF: How do you learn to eat pussy if you are a girl? Practice?
R: I think even with practice it’s still difficult because everyone is built differently, and since everyone is built differently you don’t know where to go, what they like and what they don’t like, and a lot of girls won’t tell you. With girls I am always really careful. I don’t like to be fingered because I don’t like to be cut up that way. So I always ask if there is anything they don’t want me to do. There are some girls that are really, really good at it, but I think it’s from doing it for a really long time. It’s not like oh you are a woman you should know. You still kind of don’t. One thing you do know that guys don’t usually is where the clitoris is.
AF: Guys will be rubbing, but they are not rubbing the right place.
R: Exactly. I had a girl do that. I was like what the hell are you rubbing? She was rubbing way above, like on my pelvic bone.
AF: She was rubbing your G-spot but from the outside.
R: Exactly, she was completely retarded. She was screaming at the guy harder, harder. That was all she could say. And I wanted to say shut the fuck up.
AF: What are some other annoying things that people do. You are trying to act, you are trying to have sex on camera and look good, while people are doing what?
R: Something that is really annoying is people that are really boring. I’m like can you give me something? There was one scene and the guy had no personality at all. Basically he was just a penis. Which most of them are, but a lot of penises have personality and they do stuff. But he was just laying there. No emotion what so ever. I was so freaking bored, that I was looking at the clock, one minute… I asked them, because I thought they had to have way too much footage by now, how much footage do you have, and they said fifteen minutes and we need thirty and I was like, fuck. I have to do this for fifteen more minutes. I’m going to fall asleep.
AF: What do you say when a guy is fucking you good?
R: It’s the typical, if they are in a spot that you want them to stay in you just say yeah, right there. I won’t say harder, because I can’t get slammed because I am shallow and I really don’t want to do that.
AF: You can tell them before hand, I am going to say harder, harder, but don’t really do it.
R: (Laugh)
AF: What does your husband think about you being a porn star?
R: He’s fine with it. I tell him everything that happens. He watches my movies. He understands that it is a business. He has been a PA before, so he’s been on sets and he knows how it works.
AF: Your message to your fans?
R: Thank you for watching my movies.
