Every time I would open my mouth to sing, everybody was paying attention to me. It became a habit.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

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.

When I was very young I was the ugly duckling. I had a lot of complexes. My sister was wonderful and I was nothing.

My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.

I was born a singer. I need to do that.

All children are my children.
