Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.
John Lydon
Image
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not going to pontificate and tell you to execute your government at dawn, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.

As a human being, I'm work in process.

For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

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.

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.

This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.

I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.

Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
Image
What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.
John Lydon

I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
John Lydon
Image
I will always pay respect and homage to my early years, because that's what gave me the initial push to go on and do what it is I do. That's where I learned the love and respect for music.

Books are like my one and only joy.

It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
