What national politician do you want to interview, and why?

I would cancel July and August - it’s too fucking hot!
What is your image of Holland?
Tall people, tall girls, windmills and marijuana.
What is your favorite spot?
I would say the national park of Nova Scotia - Kejimekugic, and New York.
If you would be able to export a characteristic of your people, what would it be?
Resourcefulness.
If you would be able to ban a characteristic of your people, what would it be?
Suspiciousness.
Who are you hoping to be the next president of the United States?
Larry David, or when I have to choose between the two real ones: Obama.
On which compatriot are you most proud?
My two year old daughter, Noa - still hope for her.
What will you be doing in ten years time and where?
Probably about the same with less hair and a few kilos more. I hope I will be happy!
