Sean LennonSome people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist.

But I think he was unique in being able to do that.

Sean LennonThe idea of using media for expressing yourself artistically is kind of something I learned from my mother and my father. So for me, I think growing up wanting to be an artist, I always imagined myself sort of crossing over or mixing media and so it was a natural evolution for me to try to express in a filmic way or in a visual way. It just kind of seems like a natural sort of progression for me in terms of what I'm trying to do as an artist.
