When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole
John Lydon

For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.
John Lydon

When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
John Lydon

I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
John Lydon
Image
You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.
John Lydon
Image
You should never, ever be understood completely. That's like the kiss of death, isn't it? It's a full stop. I don't ever think you should put full stops on thoughts. They change.

Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.

Image
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon
Image
You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry!
John Lydon
Image
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.
John Lydon
Image
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
Image
I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
John Lydon
Image
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!
John Lydon
Image
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.
John Lydon
Image
As a human being, I'm work in process.

I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
