That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.

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'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
Yanni
I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.
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
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
Everything great that has ever happened to humanity has begun as a single thought in someone's mind, and if anyone of us is capable of such a thought, then all of us has the same capacity, capability, because we're all the same.
Yanni
There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.
