If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart, thy love for me still waits for my love.

It takes time to get rid of all this garbage that I've been carrying around that was influencing the way I thought and the way I lived. It had a lot to do with Yoko showing me that I was still possessed. I left physically when I fell in love with Yoko, but mentally it took the last ten years of struggling. I learned everything from her. ... It is a teacher-pupil relationship.

The only people that you really have, that I learned, are your family, because they love you no matter what.

Wherever you go - in every country, or in every continent, people yearn and hunger for only one thing, to love and be loved. Love transcends international boundaries and heals the wounds of hatred, racial, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. It is the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Be humble, believe in yourself, and have the love of the world in your heart.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.
