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.
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.
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.
art thinking wizards
Artists are magicians and I definitely think John Lennon was a Wizard.
thinking negative situation
When you go through a negative situation, don’t think about it. Make it positive.
war thinking people
Some people are saying there's going to be a third World War. I hope not. I really think this is a time that people can start to mend things by negotiations, dealings. We know about dealings, don't we? We have brilliant lawyers. Why don't we have brilliant lawyers standing up and working for peace?
beautiful growing-up thinking
We're growing up together, the human race. And we've discovered a lot of things that we didn't know. We're finding our way. Instead of thinking about doomsday all the time, think about how beautiful the world is. We're all together, and together we're getting wiser.
thinking giving people
I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.
block thinking artist
I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.
thinking stay-calm might
I don't think you should always stay calm in a tense situation, because you might not ever confront the problem. Maybe it's better to actually let yourself be tense - and find a solution.
simple thinking breathing
I think something that's very important for us to communicate is usually very simple. Like breathing: Breathing is very simple. You don't do a dissonant 9th harmony or something in breathing. You just breathe, you know. I think that's how it is with very important messages.
ambition simple thinking
I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.
girl thinking way
If I was a Jewish girl in Hitler's day, I would become his girlfriend. After ten days in bed, he would come to my way of thinking.
thinking earth infinity
Think of the Earth as a turning point in eternity. Think of the Earth as a meeting point in infinity.
