Quote

I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.

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.
Yoko Ono
Image
I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono
Image
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
Yoko Ono
Image
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Image
You're filled with so much life. Is there any reason why all of us are not full of life?
Yoko Ono

Art for me is like breathing.

Music is like my security blanket.

Tape the sound of friends laughing together. Save it for a rainy day.
Yoko Ono

These days, DJ's are the ones who are bringing fresh sounds to the music world. In fact, they are creating a new spatial music. They are the space transformers of the universe.
Yoko Ono
Image
When you are feeling bad, do one thing a day to make your heart dance. It could be a simple thing like looking up at the sky.

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