I like to cook, but mostly Greek. When I am confused or tired, I think about what I can cook. It takes you away from everything, as you are thinking only of your dish.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.

Once I was condemned to three months' absolute silence. As I could not speak, I wrote a book.

When I started to work with UNICEF, it was a new way of giving some love and care to the world.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

For my convalescence, I had to exercise my voice only with vowels. It is a medical rule after a long loss of voice.

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.
