Not giving any.

You like romantic movies? Peace and Love♥
I like films that are made well. Romantic movies quite often do not meet the standard.

Does color function the way sound does for you?
Of course. It is very much like the black and white keys of the piano. The black and white keys have all the sounds you want in them.
RHONDA K @RHONDAMARIEK
What did you want be when you grew up?
I was just going day-by-day.
vicki vardaman @vvardama
How has surviving a nuclear holocaust influenced your art?
I don’t think of any influence on my art. That’s for the critics to write about.
Madeleine. @MadiJonesCasey
what made you so intrested in having peace in the world, and how will the world know when we do have world peace?
I don’t like to see children being maimed and losing homes and parents.

Will your music videos ever be released, especially the “Starpeace” tour?
That was a good one, wasn’t it? I just haven’t had the time to get around it yet. But now since you mentioned it, I’ll ask somebody to find it.
James Holborn @amraktnatsni
What has been your most memorable experience in the past year?
It was a very difficult year. But at the same time, the whole year was most memorable.
Paul Wood @PJWOOD1983
What is the craziest idea you did not (but wish you had) seen through
There were so many, I do’t remember it.

Keep being nervous and you will be tired of it.
Scott Corden @bvViewierSumo
Bagism. Why not Boxism?
A bag is softer than a box, and therefore, it is more versatile. Don’t box me in!
Maarit Hakonen
Yoko How are you feeling this friday?
Not bad. Since I am going from one country to another, and packing, unpacking, packing, I just never thought how I was feeling. Good, I suppose.
Ulash Thakore Dunlap
What is your inspiration behind your current project/work Our Beautiful Daughters in India?
I just had a vision of those women.
Christopher McDaniel
What is your earliest childhood memory?
My childhood was not easy.
Joseph Nicolas Zecher
What do you find different about yourself that the Yoko in the 70s would not believe if you told her
That life will be so “interesting” in the way the Chinese say it.
Brian Mcquarrie
did john learn any japanese? a few phrases?
Yes. he did. Read the book of his drawings caled Ai.
Edward Krosney
What is your favorite piece to play on the piano?
My own when I’m composing it – and not when it’s already made.
Jim O Donnell
Its fantastic you read Jim Douglas’ JFK and the Unspeakable. What were Johns views on the assassination of JFK. Do you have suspicions concerning John? Sorry if the questions a bit personal. I saw John’s piano in Dealey Plaza it makes a bizarre pilgrimage there every odd year.
I still get choked up when I think of JFK and the Unspeakable for many complex personal reasons.
Varya Vontaggen
Hi Yoko! I just wanted to tell you I met you at Cranbrook in ’94 and you left a lasting impression. I loved your performance/installation you did in the gallery and the lecture too. I have always loved your art, esp Grapefruit and the Fly. “I Love You.” keep rockin’ you’re an inspiration. x
Thank you for your encouragement, You keep rockin’ too. Okay?
Nik Trontelj
Dear Yoko! I saw a nice photograph of John, Julian and you sledging in the Central Park on a winter day. I’m wondering if you could share a memory of how were you spending winters in those years? Nik Trontelj from Slovenia, Europe
Both John and I loved snow. And we loved Central Park. So you can imagine how we felt when we were sledging down the hill in Central Park. It’s interesting and sad, that we never ever thought the turn of events will change our lives.
Angela Marie Bird
What is your favorite item in your wardrobe Yoko? XO
I love all of it!
Jeremy Greenwell
Do you believe sound can actually manipulate, heal, destroy and/or enhance cellular structure?
Of course it can. But we can do better than sound. Believe in your power.
Shriya Malhotra
What is the last thing you do before going to sleep and the first thing in the morning ? do you listen to music at breakfast?
By the time I go to sleep, I am so exhausted I drop like a log. Don’t disturb me with your music when I am still half in my dream world in the morning. Man-made music is so indelicate! The only thing I cherish hearing at breakfast is birds singing.

yoko what does it mean ” I’m in phase 9 now”,( your response to fact you don’t cook but put energy else where) what is is significant about the # 9? Does John’s Revolution #9 share a meaning?
with a handshake in thought.

Thank you so much for answering my question Yoko
Joseph Martin john is a light that will never go out for all you need is love will continue to feed this light
he was a poet, songwriter, composer, a father, a champion for peace but most of all he was just a man. unlike paul m. he could feel and write a…bout pain and longing and reach the depths of dispair and somehow it was beautiful Help i need somebody, so i sing a song of love for julia, mother you had me but i never had you, women you understand the little child inside a man, i was dreaming in the past and my heart was beating fast, if you want money for people with minds that hate all i can tell you brother you’ll have to wait, war is over if you want it, no need for greed or hungar a brotherhood of man,but most of all IN MY LIFE I LOVE YOU MORE
happy birthday john you are loved and i and millions more will miss you
Yoko, your message is beautiful and we still believe in Peace.
Here in South America we fight everyday for our beliefs, our ideals, our peace motives and for the beauty of life.
Sometimes is very hard to swim against the currents, against over consumption, against the media, against the powerful and their money.
But when i saw you and your willpower to keep screaming for peace and love for everyone, i feel alive now and i’ll keep yelling and working to build a better world for us all.
Thank you Yoko. Mata ne!
Felipe Nadeau.
i need your help!…i’m in a big emotional crisis and i don’t think i’m handling too well….
[...] I relation till händelsen med Gloria Emerson är det intressant att läsa Yoko Onos svar på en fråga från RMG_Design på twitter om vad hon tror om de ständigt växande sociala mediernas roll i att skapa ”worldpeace and harmony”. Yoko svarar: [...]
Hello Yoko, thank you for being available. I was at MoMA this past weekend…I screamed and made a wish. Thanks for bringing me full circle…and thank you for your he(art). I will be thinking of you and John tomorrow. Xo jen
Hi Jen! It’s nice that you participated in the scream piece and screamed. Your scream joined all the other screams of that piece performed in MOMA, and is sending out a strong vibration and making a strong statement to the world. love, yoko
Many years ago in NY you and John did a TV show on channel 13 which I attended. I have never heard anything relating to this show. Could you please let me know why.
Love and God Bless
That show still exists as a video and is played once in awhile by the TV station.
My next cd with my poems / music will be dedicated to you and John. This because of the good vibes you’re givin’ to the world. More than thanks, and with lovin’ greetings from The Netherlands,
Jos Witteman
Once again thank you very much for taking the time to answer the questions your much appreciated n loved..cheers, thanks.
Live forever
HI Yoko,
I am doing a write up on Cut Piece. I was wondering what is a message or representation you were trying to say with this piece?
Thanks,
Kallie
There are many layers of statements in that piece. It is not just one. yoko
Thank you for the answers that you shared to me especially about questions related when you were expecting a baby with John.. One of my favorites is you are craving meat and cabbage and about morning sickness.. hope if you don’t mind I could post some questions that was bugging in my head. it is all about Sean when he was not yet born (I mean inside your womb)… again thank you…
Love your response to my query, thank you so much for your work. You’re absolutely right about love.
Yoko, God bless you, love nessus
Yoko, one day I drove through Florida and felt incredibly sad, for no apparent reason, later, I found out Nam June Paik had died, how did you feel on that day? do you remember?
Yes. I felt sad. He was a good friend. yoko
Love your work Yoko !!!
Yoko, do you believe in “an eye for an eye”? those who kill should be killed in return or anything like that?
No. Watch this.
Thank you Yoko for taking the time to answer these questions. Your ideas inspire me.
