Quotes

Yoko: When I met John I was at the point of disappearance, in the eyes of other people and myself. Where could I go after I'd done the silent music and they still didn't catch up on it? You see, the things that I did then I feel were in a field that no one has really touched on yet. I think I had something to offer but people did all sorts of things to misunderstand me and I was very lonely. I just can't stand that loneliness and always being at the point of disappearing. So I'm quite happy screaming and all that, making my presence clear, and it's a healthier thing to do. (edit)
Yoko: (on John Lennon) He was always jumping on the newest things and new media. He would be creating art on computers now. That's where he'd go. (edit)
Yoko: (on John Lennon) He was very astute about his work. If he didn't like it he'd immediately throw it in the trash can because he was fully aware that he was famous and it might get out there someday. (edit)
Yoko: I think John's art, for the most part, represents old-fashioned family traditions. He made a lot of social statements, but there's a lot about the family in his works. Sean was his main inspiration. From the moment he was conceived, John was gloriously happy. (edit)
Yoko: (on John Lennon‘s life) His life was a very driven one, a very compressed one, ... In his very short life, he did a lot for us. (edit)
