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
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
If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.
Yanni
I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
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
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
We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
Yanni
All you need is passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll create the talent.
