"I like them all. They're all pictures..." - Quote by Paul Simon

“I rate each album as better than the last one. That's how I see it.”

“By the time I was 12 or 13, I felt that I was special, because I could play the guitar and write songs.”

“You know, life is what you make of it- so beautiful or so what.”

“Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.”

“Yes, I am a thorough republican. No other form of government is so favorable to the growth of art. ...because of the importance it places on the individual, their liberty, self-expression, creativity, and personal responsibility.”

“A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.”

“I still don't know how to express the really delicate personal stuff. People think that Plastic Ono is very personal, but there are some subtleties of emotions which I cannot seem to express in pop music, and it frustrates me. Maybe that's why I still search for other ways of expressing myself. Song writing is a limiting experience in some ways - writing down words that have to rhyme.”

“Always tell what you feel. Do what you think.”

“Be yourself! And then tell us about it! And then let's dance!”
