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

Now Daddy is part of God. I guess when you die you become much more bigger, because you're part of everything.
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

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.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
Sean Lennon

Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.

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…

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.

My favourite men's clothes are like Victorian British clothing.

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.

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.

The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.

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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.
