Daphne interviewed Qaddafi in 1999.
The most memorable moment was, when she asked him:

At that moment, Qaddafi who claims that he does not speak English, became extremely helpful.
"It is not about me quitting” he responded to Daphne’s question without any proper translation, “after all – I am the head of a revolution…”
