If you give people more perspective of one object, they start to see it more clearly.

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.

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.

I've always been cool, basically. I was cool in utero.

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

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 like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.
Sean Lennon

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

I was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.

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.
