If a woman writes about a domestic situation, everyone automatically assumes that it's about her.

I don't think you make a choice to be an artist. There was no decision for me. I've been expressing myself this way since I can remember.

Watch the sun until it comes into your body and stays as a tiny sun. It will keep your face shining even in the coldest of winter.

In the Second World War, I was a little girl. I was evacuated in my country.

You can't love someone unless you are in an equal position with them. A lot of women have to cling to men out of fear or insecurity, and that's not love - basically that's why women hate men.

When people don't understand my work, I don't feel like explaining.

When people get cynical about love, they should look at us [Yoko and John Lennon] and see it is possible

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.

After my husband John Lennon passed away, I tried to smile for my health.

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.
