More quotes by Yanni
Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
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
The live concerts are everything and I’m very grateful that most of my career, I’m a live artist, I’ve been doing this. So I’ve traveled quite a lot, played in - I never stopped playing.
Yanni
You need a mind open to possibility, conditioned to love the creative spirit we all have inside ourselves.
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
We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
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 believe we're responsible for everything that happens to us.
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
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
It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.
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
The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.
Yanni
Whether a person is spiritual or not, we all seek to get away from the stress, anger, and anxiety of everyday life. Some people drink, do drugs, or do worse to escape, and they hurt themselves in the process. Some people listen to music, mine included, and feel better.
Yanni
Continuing to create music and perform is so important to me for many reasons. I love the interaction and connection I get with people when we perform live. Nothing is more rewarding for me.
Yanni
I’ve always lived in the moment.
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
The love I have for my daughter is completely unconditional, and it is the most important love in my life.
Yanni
I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.
Yanni
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
