More quotes by Yanni

Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.
Yanni
I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.

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
My goal is to connect with people emotionally. I take life’s experiences and translate them into music — music that hopefully creates an impact on the listener.

Yanni
My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.
Yanni
Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.
Yanni
I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.
Yanni
While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
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
I believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.
Yanni
You need a mind open to possibility, conditioned to love the creative spirit we all have inside ourselves.
