First let's do a little questionnaire, like in little children do at school, and then we will turn to more serious topics. Name?
: Well, everybody knows that.

Surname?
: That's a bit more complicated question. It could easily have been Milosevic! No, it's not what you think... My grandmother was Milosevic, so I wanted to change my surname to show my gratitude to her. But, as the whole procedure was too complicated, and I had meanwhile reconciled with my father, I'm again using my own - actually, my father's surname - Sukara. It will soon probably be changed into a new, Greek surname. I am just waiting to get my papers.

What greek surname?
: Grekos. Nela Sukara Milosevic Grekos. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Your occupation?
: Well, it's also complicated. All my occupations are actually my hobbies. I can say that having a good time is my sole occupation.

Birth date?
: 15.December.

Year?
: Ha ha! Do you really think I would reveal when I`m born?

How did you start to play the violin?
: My parents took me to a music school and made me play the violin. I never liked to practice, they always made me do it. All I always wanted was just to play, but for some reason parents do not allow that to children. Now I can finally play, and I do it.

How did you start with striptease? What do your parents think about it? Do you have a boyfriend? What kind of men do you like?.... I'm kidding, I guess you are sick of that kind of questions.

: Absolutely right. Journalists always keep asking the same questions. It's a real pleasure finally not having to answer to them.

Can you divide your life into some important periods?
: My early childhood was fantastic. Actually, all the periods I will mention were fantastic, except some little crises that I have forgotten. So, until the age of five I was loved very much, I had a lot of toys and nice clothes. Then, my brother was born, and he is one of the most important men in my life. In primary school, I have already freaked out. Teachers always called my parents, because I was making mayhem every day. In high school (mine was one of the most perverted schools in the world) I discovered sex - and since then sex is my God. I am a sexual maniac. The period of ten years of friendship with a very important man in my life, and the period from July 16, 1996, the day of my best sex, in my entire life.

How do you know that the July 16 was the day of the best sex in your whole life? You will maybe have even a better...
: No, I won't, I just know it.

Beside your brother, the friend you have mentioned and the man who fucked you the best in your life, what other men are important for you?

: Charles Bukowski, Freddy Mercury and Richard Gere. They have influenced a lot the way I am thinking.

Ok, men... and what about women?
: My mother in the first place, I'm even now under her big influence. There were some girlfriends, and my cat is also female.

Cat is not a woman.
: My cat is more a woman than I am, as she is already a mother.

Beside your cat, what else is very important in your life?
: There is a psycho-test that begins with numbering 16 things that you would take to a place where there is nothing. I do that test often, to find out what is most important to me at the moment. As 16 things would be too much, I'll mention a few -friends, lovers, opera, Belgrade, body exercises, TV, milk, beer, colour pink.

Friends and lovers - it is different?
: The Chinese Wall divides them. My friends can never be my lovers and the opposite.
Opera?
: I can't live without opera. Not the Belgrade Opera, of course, but the real opera.

What, Belgrade Opera is bad?
: I didn't say that. Belgrade Opera is great regarding how much money is spend on it. But, I don't want to talk about it.

What do you want to talk about?
: About sex. I always want to talk only about sex. I have a good ability to turn every conversation in that direction.

Then talk about sex...

: Sex is the greatest pleasure that we can have in our lives. And it's free and is not fattening. All you need is a partner, of any gender, and good vibrations. But this is beginning to sound like my recipes, which is for another column.... There are many things that people can do with it. I do all kinds of perversions, but only if I feel like it. What is basic, that's the common will (of both partners), and the maximum of giving. That is probably the same for everything, in general. To get the maximum of pleasure, we have to give the maximum effort. I'm lucky that I have found the person who can give me all that.

You mean that that's your boyfriend? (Sorry, I didn't mean to ask that question, but you led me to it)
: He sure is my favourite boyfriend. There are many men in my life, but nobody can be like him, he will always be The King of Kings, no matter if we will remain together or not.

That sounds rather straight.You should be weird, shouldn't you?
: I have never been trying to be weird. I just follow my nature.

Now, let's talk about the thing that people are interested in-the politics.
: What does it have to do with sex?

There must be something else, except sex...For example, friends, men, opera and the other things you have mentioned.

: Some friends and some lovers have emigrated from the country. Some of them I hardly got over. But, we always have to accept the loss. To realise that there is always something that we lost and that we will never have again, but there is nothing bad about it. We will have something new. Opera and Belgrade are mostly down, because of the whole political situation, but they are part of me. It's like when someone you love and have grown up with gets ill. You don't leave her/him, I suppose. Neither you run away, or abroad, to avoid being infected. I don't see that my exercises, bicycle and easy glider have much to do with politics... neither pink colour, but milk and beer are more expensive, and TV is getting worse.

Is there something you can do about it?
: All I can do against the general hopelessness is to influence positively the people I know. I am doing my best to amuse people. I hope that this will also amuse somebody. I only want to give pleasure and have fun in my life.
