 5. Your favourite Bond actor? (leading male role) Why?
Pierce Brosnan is a very good Bond actor, but I also like his roles in other films. He is a very smart actor.



6. Your favourite Bond film? Why?
I like “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969) because this is my strongest connection to the world of 007. But I also like the latest film "Skyfall" (2012) very much, because it’s very much “back to the roots”.



7. Which is the best place where you have traveled so far? Why?
I had a wonderful time traveling in Norway and I am a big fan of traveling in Florida. In business I very often travel to China, which I absolutely like!



8. Which is the place where you would like to visit but have not yet been? Why?
I would like to travel to South Africa and Australia. South Africa is planned for spring 2016, Australia might be realistic in summer 2018.
