I wonder why men get serious at all. They have this delicate, long thing hanging outside their bodies which goes up and down by its own will. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.

Hide until everybody goes home. Hide until everybody forgets about you. Hide until everybody dies.

I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.

Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.

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.

We created a thing called culture and civilization, and now we're about to lose it because we're trying to destroy everything. And I kind of miss it. I miss culture and civilization.

Image
I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

I'm not going to doubt my life.

Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.

The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.
Yoko Ono
Image
There is an incredible love in creating art unless somebody is saying, 'Hey, let's just make money,' because it doesn't work when you do it that way. If you are aiming for that, forget it.

What all of us artists are doing is using our pain as material to create our work.
