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.

It’s a cliché - but true - that life is not a dress rehearsal. You get to do it once, so do it well.
Yanni
Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
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
If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.

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.
