Quote

I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.

If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.
Yoko Ono
Image
You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.
Yoko Ono
Image
People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.
Yoko Ono
Image
I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.
Yoko Ono
Image
I just like to explore all sorts of different forms - no, 'explore' is not even the word - enjoy. You don't want to limit yourself to a particular form.
Yoko Ono
Image
Every drop in the ocean counts.
Yoko Ono
Image
No one person could have broken up a band, especially one the size of the Beatles.

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
Image
Art is like breathing for me. If I don't do it, I start to choke.
Yoko Ono
Image
Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.
Yoko Ono
Image
If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
Yoko Ono
Image
The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.
Yoko Ono
Image
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
Image
I don't work for a long time on anything. I don't have too much time in life.
Yoko Ono
Image
I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.
Yoko Ono
Image
See what you can do. See what you want to do. See what you will do about it. Find your way out.
Yoko Ono
Image
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.
Yoko Ono
Image
Tape the sound of the moon fading at dawn. Give it to your mother to listen to when she's in sorrow.
Yoko Ono
Image
I trust in my inspiration, really, and that's difficult because sometimes you would rather be technical. And once you empty your mind, empty your brain, it's really incredible. I'm very caring about things that dash into my brain, and I make sure I don't just clog it.
