In his last interview, which he gave to Maleviziotis in September 2023, Theodoros Katsadramis explained why he does not usually speak in public: "What should I do with interviews?

Besides, I don't know if I'll have time to give another one."
About his wife, Keti Papanika, he said, "What can one say about Ketoula? She was the joy of life. Adorable, talented, and active, she helped many, was a happy person, and was beautiful. She gave me a remarkable and good child, my son, Dimitris, who takes care of me. Ketoula will always be missed."
