It's so easy to find someone who would walk around me like a shadow and do everything for me and never be tempted by other men, so obviously I'm not attracted by that type.

When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud." (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)

Freedom. I will not give you up.

This is a very fickle business. It's really about how much you value the other things in your life. I still value too many other things more than I do fame.

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

I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
