I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
Yoko Ono

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.
Yoko Ono
Image
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
Image
When you are feeling bad, do one thing a day to make your heart dance. It could be a simple thing like looking up at the sky.
