Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world, and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.

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

I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true.

It's a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn't get someone else to play me, that would've been stupid.
Sean Lennon

Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.

The most important thing in art is taste.
