Quotes by Gianna Angelopoulos (?)

“I don’t believe in the impossible. I have always believed that if you take your passion and transform it into the energy and effort that are required to do whatever is necessary, then nothing is impossible. Sometimes I would overhear one of my staff say, “Please, God, make it happen.” I would get furious. “Stop that b.s.! It’s up to us to do whatever is necessary to make it happen. Afterward, if you still want to pray to your God or your Buddha or whomever, well then that’s okay.”

“some advice George Stephanopoulos had offered me before we won the Games in Lausanne. He said it was the same advice he gave Clinton before he won his first presidential election. After you’ve won, he told me, “Tell them whatever you want.” And that night I said what I felt: Greece had without a doubt won over the world.”
