More quotes by Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Yoko Ono
I don't really believe in going with somebody to have tea and chat. I don't do that. It's just a waste of time.
Yoko Ono
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible
Yoko Ono
Many of my songs were dance orientated from way back. That's because I love dance! When I hear a dance number, just hearing the first eight bars, it immediately makes my bod start moving and dancing.
Yoko Ono
I feel sad that he's just a voice now.
Yoko Ono
If I hear dance music, my body starts to move. Whatever the dance music is, I can't help it. With all that, I still felt, well, rock is a little higher art, but it wasn't. Right now, because I have so much experience with dance charts, I started to realize that it's incredible art. This is going to be known one day as high art.
Yoko Ono
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
Yoko Ono
I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.
Yoko Ono
I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Yoko Ono
I'm into indie music. I think indie is going to bring back the spirit in music. There was a time when it was all about accommodating the music business, the music was getting tasteless, but the spirit is back.
Yoko Ono
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Yoko Ono
Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.
Yoko Ono
You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.
Yoko Ono
Marriage is a difficult project. When seven years have passed and all your body's cells have been replaced, you're meant to experience that seven-year itch.
Yoko Ono
I never wanted to be a professional artist I think that's limiting.
Yoko Ono
Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.
Yoko Ono
I respect Lady Gaga very much.
Yoko Ono
You know, something happened to me when I became 70. I started to feel a tremendous love for the human race, and life and this planet, the universe, the whole shebang.
Yoko Ono
I never thought I would go into the dance charts.
Yoko Ono
