Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono

Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.

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

When I was 4 years old my mother put me into an early music education school. That's where they taught you perfect pitch and harmony and how to write music and all that. At that time, one of the homeworks was to listen to all the sounds and the noise of a day and transfer that into musical notes.

DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.

My beauty secret is... nothing! I don't drink too much water. I don't eat very well. Sometimes I cheat and grab some chocolate. The best thing is to eat what you want, but not very much.

I have been known as the minimal and conceptual artist for over five decades. I think I haven't changed much.

I was born into a very important family in Japan. My grandfather was a descendant of the Emperor, and we were very wealthy.

I have to be pretty inclusive. I have to be pretty much inside of me rather than going out and finding out what people are doing. I don't have the time to. I just listen to my mind, in a way.

Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
