What makes you laugh?

Lea Beutnagel: My boyfriend, when he is fooling around and talking rubbish. I could double up with laughter every time.

What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?

Lea Beutnagel: Actually, I've always wanted to write a book. I have no idea, why I haven't done it so far. Maybe it was because I was afraid of rejection or failure.

Which person has influenced you most? And why?

Lea Beutnagel: My parents. They have always done everything for my two siblings and for me. They are the reason I became the person I am today. And for this, I am more than grateful!

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

Lea Beutnagel: I would provide more education, especially for diseases and disabilities that are not directly visible to people who have no disabilities.

What is especially near and dear to you?

Lea Beutnagel: Literature and music. Both are still the best medicine.

I would like to be ...

Lea Beutnagel: … healthy.

Which question would you like to be answered the most?

Lea Beutnagel: Why is there still so much resentment, discrimination, ruthlessness and selfishness in this world? Why can't we all just stick together? It would make things so much easier.

What I still wanted to say...

Lea Beutnagel: "To be yourself is not a crime" (Billy Talent)
