I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.
Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.

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.’

It’s like flight, you’re flying… When you’re hitting something that’s turning you on, you get goose bumps. It’s a rush. It’s very exciting and that’s what I’m hoping to do to the audience.

It’s really strange, but they speak to me — the notes and the chords. So when I hear other people’s music, I can feel the composer. Whoever created that, I can see in their soul.

You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.
Yanni
We're all capable if we have faith and passion.
Yanni
It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.
Yanni
We need to learn how to love each other. If we cannot do that, then we need to learn to respect one another. If we can't manage to do that, then we must learn to tolerate each other.
Yanni
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Yanni
Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
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
That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
Yanni
Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.
