I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.
Yanni
I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
Yanni
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
