“I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.”

I’m surprised that I’ve survived my own dysfunction, really.

There are very few things in my life that I can’t have if I want them. So when I see something that I can’t have, immediately I’m obsessed by it.

I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.

This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I’d say it’s a great drug – but obviously it’s not very healthy.

People, you can never change the way they feel. Better let them do what they will. For they will, if you let them, steal your heart.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 – in certain parts of the world anyway.

I don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.

[My family] is one of the strongest families you’re ever likely to see.

Change is a stranger you have yet to know.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

I just hope that I’ll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.

I’ve done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I’m dead, so I might as well write the script.

When someone is always going to be there for you. I meet people like that all the time, but I have this unfortunate attraction to people I think I have to fight to become friends with.

Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it’s the place where we find the deepest heartache.

From the first day I joined that family, nothing could be done naturally any more.

My biggest role model? Def my Mom and my sisters!

I have four elder sisters, and being the youngest, I was pampered.

I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

Family is the most important thing in the world.

I leave my circle tight and keep my family close.
