Let’s just say I don’t know if she has my number.

We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children.

My life was pretty rough.

I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.

Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.

Then he started to do it, and I’m very glad I said that.

Art is my life and my life is art.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence.Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.

How could he be a friend when he was indicted for grand larceny and took so many things from us?

Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.

I hope the press will keep their respectful distance and give Olivia and Dhani the space they need now. George has given so much to us in his lifetime and continues to do so even after his passing, with his music, his wit and his wisdom.

Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.

All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

If he’s observing me from up there, I’m sure he’s proud of me. It’s going to go on and on. This is what I love now, so it’s great.

When you go to war, both sides lose totally.

True artists are prophets. I don’t want to be that prophetic in that sense because it’s so lonely.

The cynicism that you have is not your real soul.

No one person could have broken up a band, especially one the size of the Beatles.

Marriage is a gamble, let’s be honest.

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music – that makes it exciting.

Being alone is very difficult.

I said, ‘You’re a good songwriter. It’s not June with Spoon that you write. You’re a good singer, and most musicians are probably a little bit nervous about covering your songs,’

Cosmetics is a boon to every woman, but a girl’s best beauty aid is still a near-sighted man

Memories of John Lennon,

War is over if you want it.

(When) I read about the battle of the widows, I thought ‘I’m not John’s widow, Yoko is John’s widow,

You are waterI’m waterwe’re all water in different containersthat’s why it’s so easy to meetsomeday we’ll evaporate together.

Imagine the clouds drippingDig a hole in your garden to put them in

We’re all water from different rivers,That’s why it’s so easy to meet,We’re all water in this vast, vast ocean,Someday we’ll evaporate together.

You killed my man, you bastard!

No Rodgers and Hammerstein on Broadway now. Only Juke Box.

At this time I think it’s important that we remember John for what he contributed to the world. For people who still love John’s music and for those now getting into John’s music, this opens up a whole new world in which they can appreciate John’s music again.

This shows the timelessness of John’s prophetic, visionary songwriting.

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don’t want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

So many people have approached me and said, ‘Can I do a musical of John,’ … It’s a very simple idea, you know – wow, a musical of John! But I’ve said no. This time, I said yes, because I liked the idea of having these different actors playing John. Because in the years after...

When I turned 60, it didn’t bother me at all.

People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.

If your life changes, we can change the world, too.

I’m not going to doubt my life.

Imagine a dolphin dancing in the sky. Let it dance with joy. Think of yourself at the bottom of the ocean watching.

Each time we don’t say what we wanna say, we’re dying.

He was very generous about it. I just wonder where those drawings went.

If we had a big Apple Records lawyers meeting or something, and we were sitting there and John was bored to death, he would start to (draw). The lawyers would later say.

I’d like to know how I feel towards her now. I’d really like to have a decent conversation to get to know this woman who has changed the face of musical history in many ways.

Spread the word. Spread the peace.

[Confronted for the first time by the sight of her husband and his lover,] rooted to the spot in shock and pain … John said, indifferently: ‘No, thanks.’

Mothers are not supposed to give guidance, right’ Sean’s doing his own thing.

Life with another person is always difficult.

At least I had that, one guy understood me.
