The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.

I was born into a very important family in Japan. My grandfather was a descendant of the Emperor, and we were very wealthy.

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.

You are beautiful. Don't ever think you are not. It may be such a compliment that does not come from a man too often. They are shy, proud, and rude. Give yourself some love. And walk as what you are - a beautiful woman. All your life.

Life with another person is always difficult.
Yoko Ono
Image
I get very nervous before I get on the stage, but once I'm on the stage, I'm just, you know, me. Nothing hurts me.
Yoko Ono
Image
Kill all the men you have slept with. Put the bones in a box and send it into the sea with flowers.
Yoko Ono
Image
Everyone is an artist and a genius, I think. If we don't choose to limit ourselves then we are totally accomplished.
Yoko Ono
Image
We mustn't be traditional in the way we communicate with people - especially with the Establishment. We should surprise people by saying new things in an entirely new way. Communication of that sort can have a fantastic power so long as you don't do only what they expect you to do.
Yoko Ono
Image
You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.
Yoko Ono
Image
Faces can lie. Backsides can't.
Yoko Ono
Image
I don't think you should always stay calm in a tense situation, because you might not ever confront the problem. Maybe it's better to actually let yourself be tense - and find a solution.
Yoko Ono
Image
I want to incite people to loosen their oppression by giving them something to work with, to build on. They shouldn't be frightened of creating themselves - that's why I make things very open, with things for people to do.
Yoko Ono
Image
I have a woman inside my soul.

When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'
