More quotes by Yanni
There’s a very deep connection among human beings. All we have to do is open our minds to it.
Yanni
A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.
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
I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
Yanni
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.
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 tend to stay up very late at night, so I wake up later in the day. This allows me to be in the middle of my workday when I am onstage at night.
Yanni
You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
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
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
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
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.
Yanni
Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.
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
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
Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
