The biggest mistake Yoko and I made... was allowing ourselves to become influenced by the male-macho 'serious revolutionaries,' and their insane ideas about killing people to save them from capitalism and/or communism (depending on your point of view). We should have stuck to our own way of working for peace: bed-ins, billboards, etc.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I make plenty of mistakes and I'll make plenty more mistakes, too. That's part of the game. You've just gotta make sure that the right things overcome the wrong ones.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start a new.

I've never made a mistake. I've only learned from experience.
