My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions.

Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.
John Lydon
Image
If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
John Lydon
Image
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

I'm not able to tell you what the best song is yet, because there's more to come. I feel that in me. I can still feel the burning energy and the desire to create and create and create.
John Lydon
Image
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
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
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
John Lydon
Image
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
Image
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
Image
I don't need a Rolls-Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't need to live in the south of France. I'm quite happy as I am.
John Lydon
Image
I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
John Lydon
Image
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Lydon
Image
I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon

For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.
