This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves; the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.

I'm not the kind of woman who would love to make soup or knit sweaters. I never cherished that so much.

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?

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.

All I can say is, it's not very easy for a woman to be associated with The Beatles.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

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