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

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.

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 that I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.

My tendency is to be very experimental.
