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
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 have been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to travel the world and come in contact with many different cultures and people.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yanni
Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.
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
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
All you need is passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll create the talent.
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
When I create music, it is a reflection of my soul, my experiences in life and my relationships with other people and cultures. Psychology, and understanding who we are as people in this world, is present in almost every creative thought I have.
Yanni
I realize it's possible in ways both large or small to make a difference in someone's life.
Yanni
I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.
Yanni
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Yanni
A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.
