The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.

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.
Yoko Ono
To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful - I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.

Yoko Ono
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
Yoko Ono
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.
Yoko Ono
Dance in your dream. Go out into the street and hug everyone you meet. Tell them how beautiful they are. Dance together.
Yoko Ono
If you're criticized then you can use it as an experience. Compliments, you can't use.
Yoko Ono
Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
When you're imagining peace, you can't kill anyone. That's good isn't it?
Yoko Ono
We get shy about saying things like I love you. Life is so short. It's crazy, that we hesitate to express our true thoughts to each other.
Yoko Ono
Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
Yoko Ono
