More quotes by Yanni
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
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.
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
The greatest things in life - truth, creativity, imagination, love, kindness, compassion -are already inside us, and they're all free.
Yanni
Continuing to create music and perform is so important to me for many reasons. I love the interaction and connection I get with people when we perform live. Nothing is more rewarding for me.

If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.
Yanni
It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.
Yanni
I really and truly believe that music represents humanity’s soul.

I’ve always lived in the moment.
Yanni
Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.
Yanni
I don't really like to explain my songs.
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
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
Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.
Yanni
I realize it's possible in ways both large or small to make a difference in someone's life.
Yanni
I don't dwell in the past I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.
Yanni
Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
Yanni
I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.
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
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.
