More quotes by Yanni
I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.
Yanni
We need to learn how to love each other. If we cannot do that, then we need to learn to respect one another. If we can't manage to do that, then we must learn to tolerate each other.
Yanni
That adage about genius being 5 percent inspiration and 95 perspiration - it's true.
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
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
Music is like creating an emotional painting. The sounds are the colors.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
Yanni
I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.

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.

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 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 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 realize it's possible in ways both large or small to make a difference in someone's life.
Yanni
You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.
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
You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.
Yanni
I know that our world is going through a very difficult time right now, but I will never lose my faith in humanity, and our incredible ability to overcome just about anything.
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 most important battle is one to conquer yourself.
Yanni
I’ve always lived in the moment.
