Convicted killer Karla Homolka is out of prison and one of her first stops was an interview with Radio-Canada's Joyce Napier.

Homolka told Napier how she hid in a car to get past the reporters who were waiting and watching the prison. She said she was nervous, and anxious, and the fact she was now free really hadn't sunk in.

She admitted she plans to make her new life in Quebec, but wouldn't say where. The entire interview was conducted in French. Asked if that was because Quebec had a different attitude towards her, Homolka said no, but that she had noted the media in Ontario were, in her mind, more sensationalist.

She said she felt great remorse, but that while she felt she had legally paid her debt to society, she said her emotional and social debts had not been paid, that she would like to spend the rest of her days helping people.

She said "I don't want people to think that I am a dangerous person who is going to do something to their children"
Napier asked Homolka what was the first thing she would like to do, now that she was free after 12 years in prison:

"I know this sounds stupid, I would like to have an iced cappuccino, an iced cappuccino from Tim Horton's"
