Slater: I don't know, I don't think Pamela was comfortable.
Trip: YOU ARE ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY WOMEN EVERYWHERE YOU GO. THEY SEEM TO THROUGH THEMSELVES ALL OVER YOU. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THIS?
Slater: It can be complicated at times. I have to reject girls that lose control. There is a limit to harassment and many overstep it.
Trip: WHAT WAS IT LIKE HERE IN BRAZIL, FOR EXAMPLE?
Slater: Intense. Sometimes I look at it from outside and it's actually funny. But no different from France, Japan, etc.
Trip: WHAT ATTRACTS YOU MOST IN A WOMAN?
Slater: First the looks, there's no other way around it. After talking to her and getting to know her, what attracts me most in a woman her security, knowing what she wants, being able to lead her own life without asking me every minute.
Slater: Her breasts (laughing). Pamela is someone who'd do anything to help a friend for example. And while we were together it was for real. I forced her to try to lead a normal life, go to the market, walk on the beach. I think it was important for her.
Slater: I'd like to be. But really I suffer a lot.
Trip: WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD PAMELA WAS GETTING MARRIED?
Slater: I felt like shit for a day, then was cool about it (laughing). No, what can I say? I didn't like to hear about it, but it was her decision. I think to this day she still asks herself the same question: "Who's that bum surfer?".
Slater: I think nine months with Pamela Anderson is the greatest test a man can have in this sense. And I think I survived.

Slater: (Serious) I know Pamela, she dislikes cameras, she was uneasy. But what can I say? I know many couples who film themselves having sex; she did the same.
Trip: DO YOU BELIEVE THE TAPE WAS ACTUALLY STOLEN, AS THEY CLAIM?
Slater: That's what they say.
Trip:
HOW MANY WOMEN DID YOU TRULY LOVE?
Slater: Somewhere between 500 and 600 (laughing). I'd say three;
Pamela is one of them.
Trip: HOW IMPORTANT IS SEX IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR YOU?
Slater: AS long as I'm single, sex hasn't been very important to
me.
Slater: I have gay friends and am cool with it, but I don't think people are born gay, as people often say. Childhood is crucial in the process. I often discuss this with my friends.
Trip: HAVE YOU BEEN ACCOSTED BY MEN?
Slater: Yes, but I don't like the way they kiss (laughing).
