Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
Yanni
I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.
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 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
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Yanni
You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.
Yanni
We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
Yanni
In the English language, I can love my car, or my house, or my daughter, or traveling, but in Greek and how I grew up, love is described with different words.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
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 truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.
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
My new question was, What do you do when your dreams come true? My answer was: Find new ones.
