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. ↗

If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions. ↗

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

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

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. ↗

I grew up thinking that singing was my security. ↗

I left the table where there were important people and had lunch with my husband and a few friends. The reception was organised in my honour, so it was rather amusing. ↗

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness. ↗
