[1983] Peace is a good thing, and so is salmon when it's smoked.

[on being compared to his father, John Lennon] I'm so used to it. I'm more taken aback when I'm asked something that isn't about my dad. That's when I get really surprised. I mean, my whole life has been responding to questions about him. It doesn't bother me at all. It's beyond being bothered. You can't be bothered by, you know, wind. Show less «

I feel like part of me is very strange- a real weirdo. That's probably the artistic side. I think I have another side that's more integrated and sociable. There's a sort of battle between my anti-social and my social personalities. Show less «

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. Show less «

The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.

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. Show less «

I'm trying to use the language of today to express a general existential crisis that I think the world and I are going through.

There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.

I'm not that in control of myself that I could be specific about exactly the way I'm doing everything as it happens. I'm just trying my best...Show more »

I like songs that go to different places and then come back.

I try not to do anything by formula.

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. Show less «

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.

Growing up, I fantasized about being a rock musician and that somehow it would be really easy. I didn't realize that it's so much work.

I feel like I've been way overexposed in the press. I'd rather play shows and represent myself in person.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.

I have a piano and a guitar, and I tend to switch back and forth between those two instruments to help me get inspired.

For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.

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

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

I'm lucky that a lot of my friends are in the entertainment industry.

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

Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.

I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.

My tendency is to be very experimental.

Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.

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

Putting out commercial pieces and promoting them and trying to sell them to people is not necessarily what it means to be an artist.

There's no single movement out there. It's not like in the '60s, when "Revolver" came out and that's just it for the next year.

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.
