You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.
Yanni
I really and truly believe that music represents humanity’s 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.

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.

I don't really like to explain my songs.
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.
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
That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
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
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
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
I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
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
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
My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.
