Some people don't listen to my music because they say that I am an artist. And some don't want to go to my gallery shows, because they say I am a musician.
Yoko Ono
Image
Music is like my security blanket. The first medium that I learned was music.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.
Yoko Ono
Image
There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.
Yoko Ono
Image
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
Image
Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.
Yoko Ono

Transform jealousy to admiration, and what you admire will become part of your life.
