Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don’t give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life’s problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.

When it comes down to music, I have no balance. I am 100 percent. It is like full throttle. Five hundred miles an hour.

Whether a person is spiritual or not, we all seek to get away from the stress, anger, and anxiety of everyday life. Some people drink, do drugs, or do worse to escape, and they hurt themselves in the process. Some people listen to music, mine included, and feel better.
Yanni
When I create music, it is a reflection of my soul, my experiences in life and my relationships with other people and cultures. Psychology, and understanding who we are as people in this world, is present in almost every creative thought I have.

That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
Yanni
My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.
Yanni
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
Yanni
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
You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.
Yanni
While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
Yanni
I don't really like to explain my songs.
Yanni
The greatest things in life - truth, creativity, imagination, love, kindness, compassion -are already inside us, and they're all free.
