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

When I heard his first songs, Dylan was answering certain questions that I had all my life been asking myself.

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.

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

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

My friends gave me the first songs which was the first food in my soul for me.

Wherever you turn, there is always something wrong with the politicians. They have everything they need to save the world, and they don't save it.

It's nice to look good, but the most important thing is to be you.

I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language.

When you want something very dearly, you make the time.

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

The secret is to cook the aubergines the day before and let them dry of all the oil they drank in cooking. When you cook aubergine, they eat a lot of oil. It can be very heavy.

One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.

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.

There were wonderful moments when I was singing for the first time in the Olympia Theatre and I was pregnant with my son, which was very, very strange for a singer.

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

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.

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 think sometimes you are born with a song.

The Berlin Wall go down, that was the most wonderful thing that could happen, absolutely. I celebrated with everybody in Berlin that day when the Wall was down.

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

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

The idea of the European community is never face a war again.

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.

UNICEF has made the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my life.

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

I grew up thinking that singing was my security.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.
