I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.

Everybody's an artist. Everybody's God. It's just that they're inhibited. I believe in people so much that if the whole of civilization is burned so we don't have any memory of it, even then people will start to build their own art. It is a necessity -- a function. We don't need history.

The opposite of love is fear, not hate.

Marriage is a gamble, let's be honest.
Yoko Ono

We are very lucky really, because we can create our own reality, John [Lennon] and me, but we know the important thing is to communicate with other people.

We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.

Dance in your dream. Go out into the street and hug everyone you meet. Tell them how beautiful they are. Dance together.

The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.
