More quotes by Sean Lennon
For me, songwriting is something that I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration I try to write a little bit every day.
Sean Lennon
It's a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn't get someone else to play me, that would've been stupid.
Sean Lennon
The one thing I do find about serious reviews is that usually they tend to have a point, and that's what I find hurt so much about discerning critics. If the reviews hurt they're probably right on some level.
Sean Lennon
Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. But when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word “clean” takes on a disturbingly Orwellian tone. Don’t be fooled. Fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy.
Sean Lennon
If the reviews hurt they're probably right on some level.
Sean Lennon
You can't just pay attention to the short term, you just have to keep publishing.
Sean Lennon
I wouldn't even say Imagine is political. I think it's…more just sort of declaration of humanity. I don't find his political songs to be the ones that I go home and listen to. And I would say that of any artist. They're not the ones that interest…
Sean Lennon
I'm always surprised that people make such a fuss about Italian tailoring and French design houses. I think traditional British tailoring for men is so good. Everything's the right cut, the fabrics are good.
Sean Lennon
I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] of rock music.
Sean Lennon
The most important thing in art is taste.
Sean Lennon
Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.
Sean Lennon
We live in a pretty bleak time. I feel that in the air. Everything is uncertain. Everything feels like its on the precipice of some major transformation, whether we like it or not.
Sean Lennon
I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true.
Sean Lennon
I've always been cool, basically. I was cool in utero.
Sean Lennon
I don't like when people dress intentionally ugly. Personally that's not my thing.
Sean Lennon
I'm not that in control of myself that I could be specific about exactly the way I'm doing everything as it happens. I'm just trying my best
Sean Lennon
I was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.
Sean Lennon
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art - it's a fun group activity.
Sean Lennon
I actually think in music, learning technical stuff doesn't matter. You can be as technical as you like, but still sound awful.
Sean Lennon
I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.
Sean Lennon
