As long as I feel I am doing what I think is right and just for my country, for the Greek people, that is enough for me. ↗

I am not a politician but I have dedicated the biggest part of my professional life to economic policy both in Greece and Europe. ↗

I never thought about becoming a politician. But during the military dictatorship, my grandfather was put in prison six times and my father twice. If my family and my country didn't have this history, I might be a professor somewhere today. ↗

Greece has given Europe the opportunity to fix a defect in the euro zone, that is the fact that we did not have a fiscal union. Now steps have been taken to begin that process. And there is more solidarity from nation to nation, and that is a good thing. That has been Greece's gift to Europe. ↗

I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up. ↗

I have a small Thai boy who dresses me and every year I let him pick what campaign I am going to work on. It saves me having to worry about it and, bless him, it makes him feel involved in the struggle for global liberation. ↗

I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it. ↗
