When I was four years old, my mother put me into a school for early music education where you get perfect pitch and harmony and composition.

I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.

Remember love. Remember our hearts are one. Even when we are fighting with each other, our hearts are beating in unison. I love you.

The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.

When I hear music, my body just starts to move. It has nothing to do with training or anything. That's just me. That's just my body. And I was like that as a child, too.

We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.
Yoko Ono

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.

Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky

When you are totally depressed, you should try giggling. Just make yourself laugh. Force yourself to laugh.

Losing my daughter was a very serious pain. There was always some empty space in my heart.
Yoko Ono
Image
Sometimes I have compared myself with a scientist or something: when you discover something and you don't expect the whole world to understand it. I always thought I was doing that kind of activity, in art and in music too.

Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.

There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.

There's many women now who think, 'Surely we don't need feminism anymore, we're all liberated and society's accepting us as we are'. Which is just hogwash. It's not true at all.

When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.
