My tendency is to be very experimental.
Sean Lennon

I like music because it's the only invisible art form.

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

I don't like when people dress intentionally ugly. Personally that's not my thing.
Sean Lennon
Image
Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.
Sean Lennon
Image
It's a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn't get someone else to play me, that would've been stupid.
Sean Lennon
Image
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 was always nervous to play my father's [John Lennon's] songs.
