- Born on the same day of the year as his father.
- Father John Lennon kept a jukebox full of classic 45-rpm singles for Sean in his playroom, wanting him to always have a musical environment. He kept no memorabilia or records from The Beatles around the house, though, and Sean only learned of John's former life when he saw Yellow Submarine (1968) at his babysitter's. John later gave Sean one Beatles single (title unknown), to satisfy his curiosity.
- His godfather is Elton John
- His father, John Lennon, wrote the song "Beautiful Boy" for him.
- At 16 years old, Sean and Lenny Kravitz rewrote John's song, "Give Peace A Chance", to reflect on society in the Cold War era. He and his mother invited their friends to participate in a video for the song. The star studded video included Randy Newman, Lenny Kravitz, Cyndi Lauper, Duff McKagan, Peter Gabriel, 'Michael "Flea" Balzary' and his daughter Clara Balzary, Sebastian Bach, M.C. Hammer, LL Cool J, Iggy Pop, Tom Petty, ETAL.
- [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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.
