children two people
Peace is here now. It's just that we don't recognize it. Let's say that 98 percent of people in the world are wanting peace. Now people say, even people from Siberia? Yes. We want world peace. The two percent is really tying to mess it up. It's so sad in a way, because by messing it up what are they going to get? Their children are going to suffer, their grandchildren are going to suffer, and they might even die before something gets good.
civilization missing trying
We created a thing called culture and civilization, and now we're about to lose it because we're trying to destroy everything. And I kind of miss it. I miss culture and civilization.
husband thinking way
I think I'm an observer in a way. And my life was not so - well, my life was bad too - but it's just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it's probably not that easy to cope if you're in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
feminist natural allowing
All women are feminists. Being a feminist is allowing woman to be natural, for what she is, whatever it is. All of us can be natural and we're all feminists in that sense.

Music is something that even when you close your eyes it gets into your body.

World peace is one project that we have to do together.

I have only one life, so I want to make sure it's a good one.
optimistic thinking luxury
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.
pain parent hungry
Perhaps one feels more pain when parents are there. It's like when you're hungry, you know, it's worse to get a symbol of a cheeseburger than no cheeseburger at all. It doesn't do you any good, you know.
mind realizing disappear
When you burn the chair, you suddenly realize that the chair in your mind did not burn or disappear
rapper white firsts
John would have been the first white rapper. And also he would have cherished the Internet.
communication thinking color
You know harmony only exists in music-isn't that amazing? I think that if you see earth from very far away, the color is blue. That is very interesting because blue is the color of communication.
believe tea waste
I don't really believe in going with somebody to have tea and chat. I don't do that. It's just a waste of time.
art thinking wizards
Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
