I never thought, I'm going to be an artist. When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist, which is true.
Yoko Ono
Image
I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it's more casual but more interesting.

Many incredible artists die before they were famous.

Image
I should think that people would be more interested in politics and all that is happening, rather than two lovebirds who are looking to wed. I think it's very nice that in an age when love is so scarce that people are willing to gamble on getting married.

Your private life is really very important for you. You know, all of us, you know.

World peace is one project that we have to do together.

Music is like my security blanket.

The first idea, the first art piece I ever did, was when I was four. I cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. And I never stopped.

Image
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.

When you go to war, both sides lose totally.
Yoko Ono

Anger is an emotion that is very energetic. It is an ideal emotion to turn it around to make it work as a positive force.

The universe is a space bigger than all of us we are part of.
