More quotes by Yoko Ono
In the '60s we fought for peace, when the Vietnam war was on. We were against the cops and against the politicians, and there was a lot of waving banners and all that. And I think in a way, just as they were enjoying that machoism of war, we were enjoying the machismo of being anti-war, you know?
Yoko Ono
Our thoughts determine our age.
Yoko Ono
I don't particularly consider myself just an artist. I'm a woman - I'm a human being.
Yoko Ono
I'm a politician. Politics is just a convenience for our life and we just have to create a beautiful world together that would be very convenient for us and just enjoyable.
Yoko Ono
Long, long time ago, I declared that all my works are a form of a prayer/a wish.
Yoko Ono
Cosmetics is a boon to every woman, but a girl's best beauty aid is still a near-sighted man.
Yoko Ono
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Yoko Ono
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.
Yoko Ono
The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.
Yoko Ono
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken. A stick becomes a flute when it's loved.
Yoko Ono
Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism they couldn't do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.
Yoko Ono
When you go on a stage, before you go on a stage you're really scared and you're really frightened. You don't know what to do. Why did I say yes to this? But once you're on the stage you think, Okay.
Yoko Ono
But only art and music have the power to bring peace.
Yoko Ono
Nobody's life is a bed of roses. We all have crosses to bear, and we all just do our best. I would never claim to have the worst situation. There are many widows, and many people dying of AIDS, many people killed in Lebanon, people starving all over the planet. So we have to count our lucky stars.
Yoko Ono
You can't dance if you got too much muck in your head.
Yoko Ono
I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
Yoko Ono
I never wanted to be a professional artist I think that's limiting.
Yoko Ono
My life was pretty rough.
Yoko Ono
I feel sad that he's just a voice now.
Yoko Ono
I never thought I would go into the dance charts.
