If you could travel to any destination in the world, which would you choose, and why?

I think I would choose the Caribbean islands, mainly because of the tropical weather, and the scenic surroundings. I have always been fascinated by the beauty of far away exotic islands. I think that palm trees and dense tropical vegetation is the most beautiful thing that nature has created, not to mention the lovely lagoons in which I would swim all day. As I already said, I like those areas because of the high temperatures, so that I would never have the problem of not knowing what to wear. That is the last oasis of untouched nature on earth.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

(laugh) This is more of a philosophical question, which even the world’s leading minds do not have an answer for. A chicken carries eggs, and chickens come from eggs. My answer is just as puzzling as your question.

Are you superstitious?

I am not superstitious, even though in some situations maybe a little. I will not get mad if a black cat crosses my path, but if I see the hands of a clock cross over, I like to think that somebody is thinking about me. However I would not call that superstition, but women’s entertainment.

Which media is more powerful, the television or the internet?

Definitely the internet, because it offers a limitless amount of possibilities, unlike television, which for me is static. By this, I mean that television releases information at an exact time, whilst on the internet, they are released continuously. Unlike television, you can find almost everything you are interested in, which is not the case for television. In the future, the internet will certainly “eat” television, or it will become interactive.

Have you thought about posing for Playboy?

I would not pose nude for any money. A person’s body is a gift from God, and I consider that it is not okay to sell it. In my opinion, posing for a men’s magazine is another form of prostitution, that is, making money from breasts and your backside and other female attributes. I am not against erotic photos, if they are made with style and are at an artistic level. As far as Playboy is concerned, I would not want my nude photos to be the possession of every truck driver.
