|
Q. |
Occupation: |
A. |
Adult star / Director |
|
|
Q. |
How did you get started in the business? |
A. |
I was working in an office close to my hometown of Liverpool, and was looking for something more exciting in my life. I was watching an adult movie with a friend and decided I wanted to do it. I had some photographs taken, researched the UK market, and sent them my pictures. They liked me, invited me to shoot in London, and here I am now living in LA |
|
|
Q. |
Do you recommend women enter the business and if so why or why should they not? |
A. |
Every person is different. So it's really a case by case basis. Some ladies are professional and can handle the industry while others are not. It just depends on the person. I have been very fortunate that I have had a solid support team behind me and that, I think, makes difference. If you want to come into the industry and make a positive go of it, you need to have that support. |
|
|
Q. |
. Out of all the things that you have accomplished. is there anything you have not done you wish you had or envisioned doing? |
A. |
Looking over my career, I think I have accomplished a lot. If I were to quit today, I would be very satisfied with my time in adult. If anything, maybe act more and have done more features.
But otherwise, I'm happy with what I have done so far. That doesn't mean I'm not going to strive to move myself further along, but I have been able to direct, I have my Fleshlight, I raised my profile up enough that I now have other streams of revenue and don't really have to rely on performing as much. I'm in a good spot. |
|
|
Q. |
Q: You are located in the UK, what's it like to be known as a porn star celebrity there? |
A. |
Well, I'm from the UK. Liverpool. But now I live in Los Angeles. I guess it's the same as being porn star celebrity in LA. I don't really notice it much. People do recognize me. But I am the type of person who is nice to everyone, regardless. |
|
|
Q. |
How approachable are you when a fan sees you in public? |
A. |
Unless I am in the middle of a meal, I'm very approachable. If I'm going to something public like WWE, Disneyland, etc. I'll tweet where I'm going to be and fans will come up to me. I'll take pictures with them and all that. I want people to know that there is more to me than that person they may watch on the screen. I'm just like anyone else. |
|
|
Q. |
You travel to the US for work often, where do you prefer to work or get the most satisfaction? |
A. |
Mostly, I work in "porn valley." I do travel when I do signing and such. As a matter of fact I am going to Dallas next week for the EXXXOTICA expo. I enjoy traveling and seeing more of this country. |
|
|
Q. |
Is moving to the US in your future any time? |
A. |
I've been living in the US since 2010. |
|
|
Q. |
What was the catalyst that led you into the world of sex on film (adult movies/porn star)? |
A. |
Opportunity. Adult entertainment has provided me a wealth of opportunities that I would never have had working at my little office job. Not just financially, but things like I was flown across the planet just for a signing. So many great things have happened, that otherwise I would not have been able to do. |
|
|
Q. |
How many adult films/movies/scenes have you performed up to now? |
A. |
I have no idea. I use to keep track, but not so much anymore. |
|
|
Q. |
How long have you had your own website or has it been online? |
A. |
It's been a few years. I started shooting content for it is 2009 and it came online in around 2010. For a while I ran it myself. Everything from editing the videos, to trying to fix back end problems. It just got to be too much for me. So I recently made the decision to work with Model Centro and they have been awesome. They have an amazing team that makes sure everything is properly working |
|
|
Q. |
What do you fans let you know they enjoy the most about Tanya Tate? |
A. |
They like the fact that I'm real. I'm not a 24 hour a day sex kitten. I'm just like them. I'm at comic con, I go to wrestling matches, I'm a Disney geek. I want people to know that there is more to me than sex on film. If they want to see me naked or having sex, they know where to look. I don't think they need it shoved in their faces all day long. |
|
|
Q. |
Which do you prefer cosplay or being an adult performer? |
A. |
I like both. Cosplay is my hobby that I like to do for fun. Adult entertainment is my job. I like them both for very separate reasons. I'm not a lazy girl, so I am always moving forward with my work. Not just as a performer, but all that entails as far as making the Tanya Tate brand a success. But I have found that when I cosplay or hang out at comic cons, I can't focus on the working aspect of my life and I have to relax, be more social. |
|
|
Q. |
Do you also enjoy producing super heroine videos and photo's, how did you get into that? |
A. |
I avoided it for a long time. I found a lot of popularity quickly as a cosplayer. It wasn't something I planned, it just organically happened. Part of that, I think, was due to it being something I genuinely liked doing and wasn't trying to sell myself as a "pornstar / cosplayer." If you look at my cosplay blog (www.JustaLottaTanya.com), which is separate from my website, there is no mention what-so-ever of porn. Not because, I was ashamed, but because I wanted to keep my hobby away from my work. But as more and more people got dialed in, the demand was there to see me in costume having sex. So I made Tanya Tate's Cosplay Queens and Tied Up Teens. |
|
|
Q. |
Is role playing and fantasy a part of your real life or just for aka "Tanya Tate"? |
A. |
If you mean cosplay, yes, that's part of my real life. If "Tanya Tate" the pornstar went away, you would still see me at Comic Con. |
|
|
Q. |
Do you consider yourself to be a MILF in the real sense? |
A. |
Well, I occasionally fuck myself. So, yes I would consider me a Mum I'd Like to Fuck. |
|
|
Q. |
If you were offered a role in a mainstream movie, what top stars of today or from the past would you most love to work with? |
A. |
Catherine Tate, I love her sense of humour. Kylie Minogue would be so cute to work alongside. |
|
|
Q. |
What's your favorite part of your body? |
A. |
My toes and my feet. I love them being massaged too. Coincidentally, they seem to be a favourite part for a lot of fans, too. |
|
|
Q. |
What do you think about many of today's girls getting full body tattoos or panels? |
A. |
To each their own. I have one on my pelvis, but that's it. The thing is I look for is girls without tattoos for my movies because now that seems to be more unique, and is actually harder to find. |
|
|
Q. |
On the dance floor, do you dancer like a stripper, rock girl or hip hop chick? :) |
A. |
Certainly not a stripper. I don't know. I just dance. |
|
|
Q. |
What should men be doing in bed to turn you on? |
A. |
Rub my feet and play with my clit. |
|
|
Q. |
Where's the most unusual place you've had sex? |
A. |
I gave a hand job on Pirates of Caribbean once. |
|
|
Q. |

A. |
I don't do anything embarrassing, LOL. |
|
|
Q. |
What are your favorite dream cars you have or want to have? |
A. |
A Porsche Cayenne and a DeLorean. |
|
|
Q. |
Would you like to see your popularity as an adult star expand more in the areas, such as TV, films, music videos, or more main stream possibilities? |
A. |
I think that's what most girls in the industry strive for. So yes, that would be great. |
|

About Tanya Tate:
Ten- time MILF of the Year award winner Tanya Tate launched a thrilling adult entertainment career in late 2008 when the former office worker decided on a whim to spice up her life. Tanya quickly became a popular performer in the MILF genre and when the Liverpool born beauty starred in the controversial Tanya Tate’s Sex Tour of Ireland, she found herself spotlighted in the headlines of the mainstream press. A sex scene that featured Tanya and an Irish pro-athlete became the tabloid fodder across England and Ireland.
Capitalizing on her skyrocketing career, Tanya ventured to the adult entertainment capital of the world; Los Angeles. There, Tanya began filming for top tier adult companies such as Digital Playground, Vivid, Wicked Pictures and Brazzers. Tanya has also been an FHM magazine cover model and seen in the theatrically released documentary, from acclaimed photographer Deborah Anderson, Aroused. After firmly establishing herself as an in-demand performer, Tanya made the move to the director’s chair specializing in lesbian-themed erotica for Filly Films. In addition to her film work, Tanya hosts her own weekly radio show on Vivid Radio and has her own Fleshlight; a sex toy for men molded from her most intimate parts.
Tanya has also become a noted “geek” personality stemming from her high profile hobby of cosplay and pop-culture filled blog JustaLottaTanya.com. |
