Yoko Ono Creativity Quotations

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity.

I always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically. Back in the 1960s, I was calling for 'Unfinished Music,' number one, and number two, with my artwork - I was taking unfinished work into the gallery. And that's how I was looking at it.

Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.

I think people place limitations on each other and on ourselves. There is a great fear of expressing ourselves, of making creativity happen.

It's better to dance than to march through life.

I really feel that artists or musicians are controversial people. Controversy is part of the nature of art and creativity. If people are not doing that, they're not artists - they're artisans.
