africa asia black great hero john liked musical people performer playing quiet simple singing white
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 John's passing, John has transformed into something else. People in Asia think of him as their hero. People in Africa think of him as their hero. He was a hero for the whole world, and not just a white hero. So it's great to have a black performer singing as John. For me, this play is a revolution, a quiet revolution.

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.
I'm just being normal. A normal woman. Well, I don't know what a normal woman is, but I'm a woman and I'm Yoko and I've never changed that.
I must say that I always thought I had a voice, even when I was 4 years old.
appreciate john love music opens people remember time
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.

(When) I read about the battle of the widows, I thought 'I'm not John's widow, Yoko is John's widow,
happy john means week
This week has been hard. Depressing. Now I'm smiling. I'm here. I see all your faces. John would have been so happy that you acknowledged his achievements. This means so much to us. It would have made him happy that you acknowledged our partnership.
