If you put all the European countries together, we are the biggest economy in the world.

We have made major reforms in Greece. When I took over after a landslide victory we had a mandate for change and I knew my major focus would be re-organizing the state.

Unfortunately, corruption is widespread in government agencies and public enterprises.

I am proud of being a Greek of the diaspora.

The Greek people do not want to exit the euro, and I believe the Greek people already have shown that they have made major sacrifices to stay within the Eurozone.

Greece's history in the drachma was an up-and-down history, a roller coaster.

Despite the deep reforms we are making, traders and speculators have forced interest rates on Greek bonds to record highs.

There are certain moments in the history of a nation when the choices made define the decades to come.

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.

I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.

If you are stupid enough to cheat, then definitely dumb enough to get caught.

Hell says hallelujah when fools say amen without understanding or applying truth to their lives.

God loves us the way we are but too much to leave us that way.

Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.

We always pay dearly for chasing after what is cheap.

Sometimes it's better to live through someone's work than the person themselves, and to realise that every human being is flawed, but through art they can be perfect.

Nature's great book is written in mathematics.

The reason they keep it so tight is that no one liked them, so that without each other, actually, they couldn't exist. They support each other. They support their flaws and everything else.

I discovered you can get closer to a characters thoughts and feelings in a book than in a film.

A sewer is a cynic. It tells All.
