Ang tanong sa kanya ng pageant judge na si Nigel Barker: “As an international ambassador, do you believe that speaking English should be a prerequisite for Miss Universe? Why or why not?”
“For me being Miss Universe is not just about knowing how to speak a particular language, it’s about being able to influence and inspire other people. So whatever language you have as long as your heart is to serve and you have a strong mind to show to people that you could be Miss Universe.”

It gives us a platform to voice our choices and opinions, and makes us strong, independent that we are today.”

MPULE KWELAGOBE
Si Miss Botswana ang nanalong Miss Universe noong 1999.
Tanong: If Miss Universe would have become pregnant during her rein, should she be allowed to continue as Miss Universe?
Personally, I think Miss Universe is a symbol of a woman as well as she is celebrating her femininity….. And I believe that if she got pregnant, it will not in any way interrupt in her duties. I believe that as a woman, she should celebrate her femininity.”
MIRIAM QUIAMBAO
Nanalong First Runner Up ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Miriam Quiambao noong 1999.
Tanong: If Miss Universe would have become pregnant during her reign, should she be allowed to continue as Miss Universe?

And I believe that the Miss Universe, if ever she becomes pregnant, I believe that she should continue with her reign if she has been a good example to be a Miss Universe, she has pursued all the goals that she had in the first place and I believe that she should continue.”
SUSHMITA SEN
Miss India ang nanalo ng titulo noong 1994. Idinaos ito sa Pilipinas.
Tanong: “What for you is the essence of being a woman?”
“I think being a woman by itself. The very fact that you’re a woman is a gift of God, which all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother and is a woman. And a woman is the one who shared love and shows the man what love, caring sharing is all about.”

Tanong: “Do you believe men or women have an easier life?”
