More quotes by Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
Yanni
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.’

Sometimes the knowledge you've been given in school or by an elder - 'this is just the way it is' - keeps you from accomplishing because it traps you in a box in your mind and limits your freedom to deliver.
Yanni
I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.
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.
Yanni
A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy.
Yanni
You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.

Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
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
The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.
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
I’ve always lived in the moment.
Yanni
Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.
Yanni
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
I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.
Yanni
The greatest things in life - truth, creativity, imagination, love, kindness, compassion -are already inside us, and they're all free.
Yanni
The love I have for my daughter is completely unconditional, and it is the most important love in my life.
Yanni
I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.
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
I don't really like to explain my songs.
