More quotes by Yanni
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.
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
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
All you need is passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll create the talent.
Yanni
I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.

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.

No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
Yanni
I believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.
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 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
If you leave yourself open to learning, then you can benefit and enjoy an incredibly rewarding and insightful experience. These experiences are the driving force in my life, and they keep me alive and inspire not only my music but also my everyday life.
Yanni
Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
Yanni
I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.
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.
