More quotes by 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
All you need is passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll create the talent.

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.
Yanni
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
Yanni
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.

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.

Yanni
I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.
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'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.
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
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
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
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
In Greek, we do not use just one word for love. We have many words that are specific to each type of love.
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 need a mind open to possibility, conditioned to love the creative spirit we all have inside ourselves.
Yanni
I realize it's possible in ways both large or small to make a difference in someone's life.
Yanni
When it comes down to music, I have no balance. I am 100 percent. It is like full throttle. Five hundred miles an hour.
