More quotes by Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.
Yoko Ono
If I was a Jewish girl in Hitler's day, I would become his girlfriend. After ten days in bed, he would come to my way of thinking.
Yoko Ono
I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.
Yoko Ono
Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity.
Yoko Ono
When you go on a stage, before you go on a stage you're really scared and you're really frightened. You don't know what to do. Why did I say yes to this? But once you're on the stage you think, Okay.
Yoko Ono
Japanese are very proud and workaholics. Proud workaholics.
Yoko Ono
People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
Yoko Ono
What we do really affects the world. Most of us think we can't do anything, but it really isn't true.
Yoko Ono
I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.
Yoko Ono
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Yoko Ono
Every drop in the ocean counts.
Yoko Ono
It's better that you're criticized than complimented as a person.
Yoko Ono
Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.
Yoko Ono
The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.
Yoko Ono
I always thought that I was an important musician. If you don't have that confidence, why would you go on and do it?
Yoko Ono
Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it.
Yoko Ono
I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
Yoko Ono
