interview

� You can read here some lines from the first (and last) interview with Don Juan ever published� in a newspaper.

Question: Why did you invite the statue to dinner?
Don Juan: I hate eating alone.

Question: Is Leporello's list of women real?

Don Juan: As real as Leporello himself.

Question: Don't you find this list... well... immoral?

Don Juan: Immoral? Why do you think it's immoral? I am sure you

have a phone book with the numbers of� your friends.
Question: It's true, but in your time the telephone didn't exist.

Don Juan: That's indeed why I needed the list.

Question: You lie to women...

Don Juan: Never! That's infamous! I never told lies to a woman... How could I? Every woman is a whole universe.� One cannot tell lies to the Universe.

Question: So you did love all of them? All 1003?
Don Juan: Certainly. Fact is, I am not so sure about the number. It could be 1004 or only 1002...

Question: But you left each of them.

Don Juan: Only to fall in love with another one!

Question: You must be careful if you go to the United States; you could be charged�with sexual

harassment, it's a serious offense.

Don Juan: Don't laugh like an idiot! Of course it's serious! But I am the last man in this world to be charged with sexual harassment. My cousin, the Count of Almaviva, yes, he could, but not me. I never harass women, I always conquer them. I seduce them. It's an enormous difference!
