More quotes by 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've always been cool, basically. I was cool in utero.
Sean Lennon
Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane.
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 like songs that go to different places and then come back.
Sean Lennon
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
If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.
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
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
You can't just pay attention to the short term, you just have to keep publishing.
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
Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.
Sean Lennon
My favourite men's clothes are like Victorian British clothing.
Sean Lennon
I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
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 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
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
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
I don't like when people dress intentionally ugly. Personally that's not my thing.
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
