I don't work for a long time on anything. I don't have too much time in life.

Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.

We are never alone. We are all aspects of one great being. No matter how far apart we are, the air links us.

I think there is a big difference between the music business and music. And my relationship is to music, not music business. I think the business will keep changing, but music won't. Music will be there.

If everybody thinks of something, then it will happen. Your mind is part of the universe. It is connected, you can use its energy.

When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.

I never thought, "I'm going to be an artist". When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, 'I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist", which is true.
