Music is like my security blanket.
Yoko Ono
Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
The Beatles were a group made up of four very complex men, and my small hand could not have broken these men up.
Yoko Ono
And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.
Yoko Ono
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
Yoko Ono
Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.
Yoko Ono
We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
Yoko Ono
I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.
Yoko Ono
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.
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
Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.
Yoko Ono
When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.
Yoko Ono
Power is not something we should be afraid of. Power is great, power is energy. And in terms of energy, the most important energy is human spiritual energy and when I say spiritual, I feel like have to be very careful, I don't mean religious, I mean the energy of the mind, the energy that exists within us.
Yoko Ono
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Yoko Ono
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Yoko Ono
Art for me is like breathing.
Yoko Ono
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
Yoko Ono
The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.
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
