The work I've done, I'm really feeling the effects of it.

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.

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

Sean Lennon
Image
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
Image
I have a piano and a guitar, and I tend to switch back and forth between those two instruments to help me get inspired.
Sean Lennon
Image
I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.
Sean Lennon
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

The most important thing in art is taste.
Sean Lennon

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
