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.

More quotes by 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
I don't like when people dress intentionally ugly. Personally that's not my thing.
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'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
My tendency is to be very experimental.
Sean Lennon
I like music because it's the only invisible art form.
Sean Lennon
You can't just pay attention to the short term, you just have to keep publishing.
Sean Lennon
If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.
Sean Lennon
Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.
Sean Lennon
The work I've done, I'm really feeling the effects of it.
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
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
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
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 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…
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
Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane.
Sean Lennon
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.
Sean Lennon
I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
Sean Lennon
I was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.
Sean Lennon
