More quotes by Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
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
The love I have for my daughter is completely unconditional, and it is the most important love in my life.

The studio work that I do allows me to connect with people around the world. You can't perform live for everyone, so having the ability to share my creative vision with others is very important to me as well.
Yanni
As I understand life at different levels, I can use music to express what these levels feel like to me. Hopefully the listener can be transported to this understanding by listening to the music.

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

We're all capable if we have faith and passion.
Yanni
I am so happy that I didn’t go to school and I didn’t have anyone to tell me how to position my fingers on the piano correctly.
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
While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
Yanni
There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.
Yanni
I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.
Yanni
My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.
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.
