SAKIS INTERVIEW IN DOWN TOWN MAGAZINE ( JUNE 2009 )
'' I FELT SORRY . I APOLOGIZED '' .
«If you go first in Eurovision, the image will receive a major blow». This was the view that some people had before May 16. Perhaps such a provision have been, but the people who thought it did a very important and so frivolous wrong ... They forgot that they spoke for Sakis Rouvas.
Last season, admittedly, has seen everything change around him. He saw himself to be developed and we all witnesses of this development. Particularly fanatical followers, who now «plunder» posters of impressions in Thessaloniki in order to take them home - which certifies the validity and permanence of the phenomenon «Rouvas». «Certainly, this year was the most packed in my career. To tell the whole truth, was the most full and different in my entire life. Do not forget that apart from the unprecedented feeling of presenter, where he realized that television is really hard and you have to be even tougher to handle, he felt the incredible feeling of being a father. The arrival of my daughter was a change in my life, as each day passes I realize it even more. But, again, I feel it will never reach the absolute. It will constantly surprise me, it will always make me excited ».
Passing to the capital of Eurovision. «I was honest from the beginning that our goal was the 1st place. Last time I had come third, so what could i hoped for? I said I would give anything to return as winners. And so i did, I saw myself going over my limits and to withstand a pressure and an energy that few occasions I experienced in my life again. For some, however, the stimulation is caused by the result. The non-conquest of 1st place positions and views created by specialists and unskilled. The reason of not getting the 1st place » became the flag of many, which argument actually was destroyed upon his apology in the most simple and humane manner . I remember that then a friend was wondering whether his apology was just a communication trick . I had no answer then. But Sakis had : «i felt really sorry for not been able to win, not been able to bring back to Greece ESC . I would love to give this joy to the world, returning in this way the faith that they have on me . I felt the need to say that i was sorry . That me as Sakis felt sorry. That is why I felt the need to apologize and so i did it spontaneously. I did not do it under a strategic thinking, but from a true feeling. I did what I felt from the first day I started to prepare for the Eurovision, until the last second and the last note of "This is our night" the night of the final. And I did what I felt when all finished and then returned to Greece ».
Chapter X-Factor he does not want to discuss yet . There is the plan, there is a proposal, but he doew not want to prejudge anything, it is not the right timing. Acceptable. Moreover, until the talent show of ANT1, film DURESS will appear on the big screen , where Sakis impersonates a serial killer. It is stressful, waiting for the numbers in box-office?«Stress in this sense I do not have i just want to see however, the artistic result of the work done ». But Sakis movie stuff are not stopping here. By autumn ihe will have completed shooting another film of a Greek production , with a love story between a couple. Completely different issue with Duress. «But the substance is mainly to do things differently in order to cause to move forward and evolve. To end up filling filled. And if you want to continue the comparison with the long jump, to say that the pit is as big as you see the big himself. And the biggest dimensions it has, the expectations get higher and so does your field of vision ».
