Nevertheless, Grey came to enjoy acting, and she started taking lessons early on and continued to do so for a decade.
After high school, Sasha Grey moved out and worked at a steak restaurant during a year that changed her intellectually -- and bend her physically -- in a myriad of ways. Through a series of college arts classes and her own interest, she was introduced to the cinema of French director

Just a few weeks past her 18th birthday in 2006, the newly single, forever-existential and brazenly sexual Sasha Grey moved to Los Angeles with her eyes peeled on entering the adult industry. Living in a house without an air conditioner or a proper kitchen, she found agent Mark Spiegler through the internet and filmed her first scene in Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge for director John Stagliano. Although Stagliano was a veteran of the business, he and Grey's scene partner, Rocco Siffredi, were unprepared for what happened next. In the heat of the moment, Grey asked the male talent to punch her in the stomach, to which he refused. The incident rippled across the industry and left everyone pondering who this young woman was -- and why she wanted a tummy ache.
Sasha Grey finished her first year in the adult film industry $200,000 richer with an award from the X-Rated Critics' Organization for Best New Starlet. It was only the beginning. In three years, Grey would make over 100 adult movies, pose as a Penthouse Pet of the Month, open her own L.A. Factory Girls agency, and be named 2008's Female Performer of the Year, according to both XRCO and the Adult Video News. Why so successful? Some of it was her willingness to look at the camera and "connect" with viewers, and a big part of it was her flat-out fearlessness about what she would do on camera. While some (like Tyra Banks) cried degradation, Sasha Grey cried feminism and argued that it was her idea!
