1969 - Gloria Diaz (Miss Universe)

The Question: “In a next day or so, a man will land on the moon. If a man from the moon landed in your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?”

The Answer: “Oh, just the same things I do. I think if he has been in the moon for so long, I think when he comes over he wants to change, I guess.”

1973 - Margie Moran (Miss Universe)

The Question: “Let's make believe that all of a sudden you had a million dollars. What's the first thing you would buy and why would you buy it?”

The Answer: “A house and lot, because it’s the most expensive thing and I can’t afford it. If I had a million bucks, I’d buy a house and lot and live by myself, and other people of course.”

2015 - Pia Wurtzbach (Miss Universe) 

The Question: “Why should you be the next Miss Universe?”

The Answer: “To be a Miss Universe is both an honor and a responsibility. If I were to be Miss Universe, I will use my voice to influence the youth, and I would raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness, that is timely and relevant to my country, which is the Philippines. I want to show the world—the universe, rather—that I am confidently beautiful with a heart.”

2018 - Catriona Gray (Miss Universe)

The Question: “What is the most important lesson you’ve learned in your life, and how would you apply it to your time as Miss Universe?”

The Answer: “I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila, and the life there is very poor and very sad. I’ve always taught myself to look for the beauty in it, to look for the beauty in the faces of the children, and to be grateful. I would bring this aspect as a Miss Universe to see situations with a silver lining, and to assess where I could give something, where I could provide something as a spokesperson. If I could teach also people to be grateful, we could have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster, and children would have a smile on their face. Thank you.”
