You're filled with so much life. Is there any reason why all of us are not full of life?

I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.

This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.

We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.
Yoko Ono

Society tells you that when you're old you have to retire. You have to defy that.

True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
Yoko Ono
Image
People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.
Yoko Ono
Image
When I'm putting some communication out on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, I think that it's helping me, my brain, you know, because it's always somehow stimulated by people who are sending things to me. And it works both ways. It's great. My brain is very happy about it.

You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.

Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.
