More quotes by Yanni
Continuing to create music and perform is so important to me for many reasons. I love the interaction and connection I get with people when we perform live. Nothing is more rewarding for me.

I really and truly believe that music represents humanity’s soul.

I tend to stay up very late at night, so I wake up later in the day. This allows me to be in the middle of my workday when I am onstage at night.
Yanni
The live concerts are everything and I’m very grateful that most of my career, I’m a live artist, I’ve been doing this. So I’ve traveled quite a lot, played in - I never stopped playing.
Yanni
The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.

My mother loved everyone she came in contact with. She always shared her love and was able to heal those around her with it.

My father once said, ‘If the whole world wants to go left and you feel like going right, go right. You don’t have to follow. You don’t have to make a big deal about which way you’re going. Just go. It’s very easy.’
Yanni
We're all capable if we have faith and passion.

We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
Yanni
Everything great that has ever happened to humanity has begun as a single thought in someone's mind, and if anyone of us is capable of such a thought, then all of us has the same capacity, capability, because we're all the same.
Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
