The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Yanni
Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.
Yanni
There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.
Yanni
If you leave yourself open to learning, then you can benefit and enjoy an incredibly rewarding and insightful experience. These experiences are the driving force in my life, and they keep me alive and inspire not only my music but also my everyday life.

Ever since I left Greece more than two decades ago, it has been my dream to return and perform at the Acropolis. This project took more than a year and a half to plan and accomplish, and I would like to thank my band and crew and the scores of people involved in helping my dream become a reality.
Yanni

Yanni
Perhaps one of the most important lessons that I continue to have reinforced is to always have faith and believe in yourself. To never lose sight of who you are and to know yourself.
Yanni
