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
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
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’ve always lived in the moment.
Yanni
I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.
