As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.

Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.

I'm not anti-American. I've lived with Kenny, a Texan, for six years.

"Yog" is an abbreviation - my real name is Yorgos, which is Greek for George.

I didn't expect to enter into tabloid trivia or anything like that. So I suspect my perspective and a lot of my ideas changed fairly drastically. It was also rather confusing.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
