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.

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

I don't like when people dress intentionally ugly. Personally that's not my thing.
Sean Lennon

You can't just pay attention to the short term, you just have to keep publishing.
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.
