Yanni
I tend to avoid writing music about initial reactions to situations, like frustration or anger. I’d rather wait till I go through the problem, and write about the learning that took place.
Yanni
I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
Yanni

Yanni
I don't dwell in the past I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.
