    He says that in a relationship, one person is more in love than the other. Then, the presenter ask him why he usually breaks up with a girl. He replies that people break up when they think that they cannot go on together. He adds that love and eros (falling in love) is unique for every person. The presenter then mentions that he had once said in an interview that he has stayed single for periods at a time by choice. She asks what would make him stay single. He replies that he is not a calm person, he needs changes. The presenter then asks if his mother was a famous singer in Sweden (she is Swedish) and asks how she decided to give up her career for family. He says that it was an easy decision for her and that his father first kissed his mother when she said yes to his marriage proposal. He was never a calm person, but he has never hurt anyone. She then asks why he had so much trouble getting his driver licence. He replies that he couldn't pass the theory exams (he failed 14 times...). Nino is a cancer... (born in 1981)... The astrologist says that it is a great year for the cancers... He says that he cannot understand how the stars can affect one's life... Then they talk about his experience in Fame Story (a reality-combination of Big Brother and American Idol).

    Hope I helped...

    I translated the whole interview. If it sounds complicated or like it doesn't make much sense, it is not my fault, it is how they are actually talking.


    Eleni: Or have you changed now, because the interview was in 2006.

    Nino: I have the same opinion since I was 13 years old. But love…what I said was that one person is always more in love that the other, always something like this happens.

    Eleni: Ok, but this is not a bad thing.

    Nino: Ok.

    Eleni: Usually is it you that you are more in love? Or the others?

    Nino: Alright, now, I don’t know if it is me that I am more in love. You can never know that, you just understand that you broke up in the end!

    Eleni: Why do you usually break up with someone, Nino? Is it because it just ends? Is it because it stops being so intense? Or maybe because other type of issues occur?

    Nino: What do you mean?

    Eleni: I mean that usually do you end a relationship because the feelings are not so strong anymore, there isn’t the same passion, do you both get bored, only you get bored? Or because you spot other things about the character of the girl that you are with, which you didn’t spot in the beginning?

    Nino: My Eleni, two people break up when they shouldn’t be together any more, isn’t it like that?

    Eleni: Yes, but I am asking why.

    Nino: I am asking you. I don’t think you want to talk about this topic right now. But…

    Eleni: But your relation with my issue is not related in any way, because my issue is a marriage and yours is just a relationship.

    Nino: Yes, but I considered the relationship as a marriage!

    Eleni: Did you concider all your relationships as a marriage?

    Nino: I am only joking, ok.

    Eleni: Oh, I was scared there for a moment, I thought you are serious.

    Nino: No…

    The other guy: Is it because due to boredom (that you end a relationship), is it due to tediousness, what is the problem? Or do you see something else and you say…

    Nino: How did I trap myself in this topic? Tell me!

    The other guy: Come on, that is not a bad thing.

    Nino: I know.

    Eleni: We are not talking about something specific here, just generally.

    Nino: Love is something unique, it is something that everybody is experiencing it in a completely unique way, everybody experience it differently, the only common things is the word “love” and that love turns you into a “dumb” person, that is how I feel, you dedicate yourself only to that (love).

    Eleni: In past, you said in an interview, that you have been through periods of time where you where single by choice.

    Nino: Yes.

    Eleni: Why can someone be single by choice?

    Nino: Look, I am an uneasy person, and I say that in the mildest way that I can express it, I am an uneasy person and -he turns to the other guy- what are you laughing about?

    The other guy: No, you are right.

    Nino: I can’t be comforted and say, well, this is my life and that is it. I want that there is always a change, but with the same goal and the same target and the same reason also serenity is created. I don’t know… -to the other guy again- do you disagree?

    The other guy: No.

    Eleni: So, your mother was a singer in Sweden and a well known one.

    Nino: Yes, she was a singer. I want to send kisses to my mother and my father, I love them both. Also to my sister and my brother and my granny. My granny is the moral support of all our family.

    Eleni: Oh, really?

    Nino: Yes, yes. I also send kisses to my aunts, my cousins, to everybody. I am only saying that now because I haven’t seen them for a long time.

    Eleni: I understand, I understand. And I know how close you are sentimentally, to your family. Your mother, what did she tell you now that you are all grown ups? How difficult was for her to abandon her singing career? I think that it was something that she really enjoyed doing.

    Nino: She didn’t think about it, not even for one second.

    Eleni: Because she was in love.

    Nino: She didn’t think of it even for a second. You see, now I don’t know if I am accurate about this because all this happened 35 years ago, but my father kissed my mother for the first time, when she said yes to his marriage proposal.

    Eleni: Really?

    Nino: I mean, he knew her, but that was the first time they kissed each other. They are two of the most enamored persons I have ever seen and I have this as the ideal image of love, so it is a little bit hard for me to… (laughing).

    Eleni: We saw in the previous video that we played, that in school you were rather uneasy too as a student.

    Nino: Yes, I was uneasy all my life.
    Eleni: Why?

    Nino: But I was uneasy in a good way, I never hurt nobody. I have never harmed anybody. I love everything there is on this earth. The plants, the flies, the ants, everything, I am telling you the truth.

    The other guy: You also got your driving license pretty easily too.

    Eleni: Why did they fail you at your driving license examinations, Nino?

    Nino: I don’t know, last time I was at a driving license examination was…

    Eleni: Didn’t they (your examiners) got bored of seeing you there so often?

    Nino: Yes, yes, that is true, the last time it was…

    The other guy: It was the 14th time.

    Nino: Yes, yes, maybe, I don’t remember exactly.

    Eleni: Did they actually fail you when you were examined for your driving skills or for failing to recognize the traffic signs?

    Nino: No, I failed to pass the traffic signs examination, while driving I was…

    Eleni: You were great!

    Nino: I am still.

    Eleni: You are.

    Nino: They failed me because…

    Eleni: Because you obviously were doing something wrong, it is not that they had anything personal against you.

    Nino: One time I said to the guy sitting next to me to tell me all the right answers. So he was saying: the first answer is “a”, the second is “b” etc. But I wrote down the answers starting from the second question, so I wrote everything wrong! (laughing). This is what I remember intensely. So I went to show my papers at the examiner and he said to me: “the first answer is “a”, this is correct”. He looks at me and says: “you made the same mistakes so many times, let’s see now”. So at the second question the answer was “c” and I had written down “b”. Only the first answer was correct and all the rest were wrong!

    Eleni: But how did you manage to fail that 14 times?

    Nino: I don’t know. I am telling you, I wasn’t focused, I just wanted to have my driving license, couldn’t they just give it to me?

    Eleni: (laughs)

    Nino: I couldn’t study.

    Eleni: But you do know the traffic signs now, right?

    Nino: Yes, yes, of course I know them. Do you want to test me? –he asks the other guy-

    The other guy: No, no, don’t bother, I would rather walk!

    Eleni: However, I also was examined twice in order to pass the traffic signs examination. Of course, that happened years ago but I remember that I was also examined twice.

    Nino: Look, 14 times doesn’t mean that I went there 14 times and I was so stupid that I failed all 14 of them. I didn’t even go to the examination about 3-4 times because I had something else planned the same day, so I couldn’t go. I went again after 15 days, and then again, and so on…

    Eleni: And every time you went there, what did they say to you? “Welcome Nino, why don’t you sing us a song instead?”

    Nino: (They said to me) Good morning, would you like some coffee?

    The other woman: When Nino saw the traffic sign that is an exclamation he thought that they were saying to him bravo, my boy, you are doing great.

    Eleni: Nino’s zodiac sign is Cancer, and he was born between the first days of this zodiac sing, if I recall correctly.

    Nino: I was born on June 29th , 1981.

    The other woman: Ok.

    The other guy: You too are getting older too, Nino.

    Nino: Ok, I am 29 years old.

    Eleini: Come on, don’t talk to him like that.

    The other guy: I am just kidding him.

    Eleni: So tell us few words about the sing of Cancer.

    The other woman: This is a good period for you, with Aphrodite affecting your zodiac sign.

    Nino: Yes.

    Eleni: Explain to him what does it mean.

    The other woman: Yes, right, eh…

    Nino: Look, until now this year has been pretty good, generally.

    The other woman: Bravo, this is a good year for Cancers because Zeus is affecting the Pisces, and this is very favorable for their career, they can expand their horizon, and from the other side, this exact period of time that Aphrodite affects your zodiac sign, is a very good time for the promotion of your work, your popularity.

    Nino: Can I ask you something?

    The other woman: Yes, tell me.

    Nino: I never understood how it is possible that the stars can have any influence, for example they say, don’t spend much this week because the Zeus is affected by the moon…

    The other woman: This is requires a very big discussion, but I am going to say only one thing, on earth as it is in heaven (saying from the Bible).

    Nino: I can say that I feel a thrill that I see next to you the nutritionist that was in Fame Story.

    Eleni: Oh, really, why didn’t we meet back then?

    Nutritionist: Where you too in Fame Story?

    Eleni: In the first one, tell us Gregory (the other guy).

    Nino: Yes, she was there.

    The other guy: Yes, we were there every day, I haven’t notice you either. Is that true, Nino?

    Nino: Yes.

    Nutritionist: I was a teacher of proper diet.

    Eleni: Isa that true, Tasos (the nutritionist).

    Nutritionist: Yes, Nino was my student.

    Eleni: But of course he didn’t really need you, he was slim anyway.

    Nino: Tell us, did I use to come to the classes, was I a good student?

    Nutritionist: Do you think he was a student that never missed a class?

    Nino: How many times did I come to the classes, tell us the truth.

    Nutritionist: Well, he came to many classes but he had an incredible question that we, the nutritionists use to write down in our notebook. There was this lecture about what a singer should eat before he goes on stage. A usual symptom of the singers is that get have stomach swelling. So they must have food rich in probiotics as we call them and one of those foods is sour milk. So Nino says: “Professor, I have a question. This sour milk is sour?” And I say yes. So he says: “I bought that once accidently from the store and I throw it away because I thought it was spoiled.”

    Eleni: So I presume that you like milk, Nino.

    Nino: Yes, I like it, I drink a lot.

    Eleni: Is there a problem now?

    Nino: No, nothing, I just wanted some water so I put some.

    Eleni: Ok, drink your water.

    Nino: Cheers.

    Eleni: Gregory, do you remember anything of the period that Nino decided that he wants to leave Fame Story? That Fame Story was insane!

    The other guy: It was a mess. First of all, I think he (Nino) was the only one that left during the game and went to a live music club one night and people were looking for him.

    Nino: But that was the reason I wanted to leave, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

    Eleni: We were also looking for him because we wanted to have him at the show next morning.

    Nino: I couldn’t stay there any longer.

    The other guy: Where is Nino, he was at Romeo (the name of the club) enjoying his drinks.

    Nino: I couldn’t because there was my friend, Girgos Giannias, that was singing there that time.

    Eleni: Nino, tell us after now years after, why did you leave, you were the star of Fame Story n.1.

    Nino: Why did I leave?

    Eleni: I mean, it seems really impressive to me how a boy that knew that has everybody’s attention…

    Nino: I didn’t know that back then, my beautiful Eleni.

    Eleni: Didn’t you?

    Nino: No, I didn’t know that everybody’s attention is on me. When I went out of the house I went to the first kiosk. Outside my house was this kiosk owner that I owed to him 40000 drachmas (117,39 Euros). Every week I owed to him the amount of money that my father sent me and then again and again, which means that I always owed money to him. So I went to the next kiosk down the street because I owed money to that one, to Stefanos, kisses to Steafons, may he be well. So I go to the kiosk and as I always used to go, I say: “hello, I would like to have a Coca cola” and he says to me “Wait!”, I didn’t know that he knew me. And I was scared and I say to myself, what happened, who does he talk to, something is going on. I didn’t realize that by the TV, how can I say that…

    The other guy: Yes, because they were isolated then and they couldn’t realize what was going on.

    Eleni: That was Fame Story n.1, right?

    Nino: Yes.

    Eleni: Oh, that is why you weren’t aware of what was going on outside.

    Nutritionist: Anyway, I think for Nino it was obvious since back then, I mean it was a common
    ground between teachers, that he had “a star”, as specialists call it.
