STAR MUSCLE

Sakis is a star and contradicts anyone who believes that the top is
reached by people who have not met happiness.

He claims that he is happier and more balanced than ever. It seems
that maturity suits him but he prefers the term "evolution" instead
of maturity. During our meeting we had the chance to discover that
apart from his inner peace he was more impressive, physically than
ever. Sakis is in a state of tremendous alertness this spring, he
has already decided what his next big steps are going to be, he is
preparing for long journeys and his new CD is already at the CD
stores. In this interview Sakis is relaxing in his dressing room and
he confides …

FOR SUCCESS
I don't manage success, I live by it! What I desire more than
anything else is to live every moment, to enjoy every day. I am a
very lucky man. I am glad and happy and I feel that I have found
myself. I do what I like and I live what I want. I feel people's
love and that has been a catalyst in my life. I am grateful for all
the good things that have happened to me. Although I am not one of
those people who like to give advice, I recommend patience,
persistence and mostly lots of hard work to whoever is determined to
succeed.

FOR HIS CAREER
It is truly difficult for me to express what I have taken from my
career. What I consider most important is that I have discovered
myself. That's not a little thing. I discovered the true Saki. At
least that's how I feel.

FOR HIS PRIVACY
I am very often alone. I am alone for the better part of the day.
Don't believe that I am constantly surrounded by people … I read
books, but not something in particular. If I am moved by what I am
reading I finish the book.

FOR MATURITY
I think that as we grow older, through our experiences we change. I
don't want to use the word "mature" I say we evolve we become better.

FOR LEADERSHIP
I truly don't feel like a leader, maybe because I never took the
time to discover what the characteristics of a leader are. I imagine
that a leader is someone who is basically charismatic, who opens new
roads and has dynamic and pioneering ideas that other people wish to
follow. I never felt like a leader in my field and I don't intend to
be.

FOR STRESS
I don't get stressed. I don't get annoyed easily or at least for no
reason and I deal with difficulties with humor. Laughter plays a big
part in my life.

FOR FRIENDSHIP
I have lots of co – workers and friends. I don't make any kind of
distinctions; time shows and proves who is a true friend and who is
not. Instinct, of course, plays a big part in this as well. My
criterion is quality in every level. Quality in things, environment
and mostly to people we have around us.

FOR EXERCISE
I exercise a lot, but not as much as I used to in the past – when I
was an athlete. I prefer sports. I play tennis; I ski in the
mountains and the sea… Anyway all sort of sports. I adore sports and
the sense of danger excites me

FOR HIS INTERNATIONAL CAREER
I don't understand why all these rumors are about… During my career
I have never stopped going abroad. I constantly do things that
involve my career. I am informed; I look for new things, new
associates, and new projects. The truth is that I never stopped
making those trips and I intend to continue …

FOR ACTING
I have often had offers to participate in the movies and TV series.
Generally speaking, I am a man who discusses everything. I wouldn't
say no to something for no reason. Time will tell.

FOR AUTHORITY
My crowd, my friends belong to all social circles. I am not involved
with authority and politics, although as a citizen I stay up to date
with current affairs.

FOR THE MEDIA
I think the press is the mirror of our society. There are all sorts
of people there and naturally I don't expect them all, to treat me
in the same way. I have detected all the types of behaviors:
positive and more extreme, that doesn't bother me now as much as
they used to.

FOR HIS NEW ALBUM
I think that "S' eho eroteftei" is a very good album. I have worked
with some of the leading names in the Greek music and lyrics
industry. I believe this CD will be a surprise.
