In retrospect, Abbey Hoes thinks she "should not have done" some of the nude scenes she has done in the past. "I've been on mokkels.nl since I was fourteen because of my role in the film Tirza." The actress tells in conversation with a magazine that there are people who think that "it's part of the game" if you are an actress. "But I don't think being on a dirty porn site is part of the job. If I had wanted that, I would have become a porn actress."[4]
