Nana Mouskouri

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

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

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

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

"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."
