My husband John Lennon was a very special man. A man of humble origin, he brought light and hope to the whole world with his words and music.

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.

You have to release your emotion in order to keep your sanity.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

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.

Most people think that I am too optimistic, but my optimism is based on the thought that negative thinking is a luxury that we can't afford.
