Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.

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.

Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.
Yoko Ono

The male society is letting the men think of the women as something pretty and soft and that kind of thing. So I just wanted to show what we were. Women are the ones who actually created the human race. I mean without us bringing up the new generation, there wouldn't be a human race.

Image
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.

I thought art was a verb, rather than a noun.
Yoko Ono
Image
There's a big difference between sending your art in a statement or something like that, and sending yourself there. When you send yourself somewhere, then you are sharing your information uncontrollably - like all yourself.

All I can say is, it's not very easy for a woman to be associated with The Beatles.

Image
You should do something that will make your heart dance once a day. If you can't do that because you're too depressed, then do something that will make somebody else's heart dance.

Image
You know, something happened to me when I became 70. I started to feel a tremendous love for the human race, and life and this planet, the universe, the whole shebang.
Yoko Ono
Image
I think if you give in and accept society's stereotypes, then you start thinking, 'I cannot dance till late at night because I'm 70.'

My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.
