Image
I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.
John Lydon
Image
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
Image
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
Image
Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.

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.

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

I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.
John Lydon
Image
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
All the things that you would have thought would have made me a professional A1 criminal... wrong. I decided that was too lazy and easy, and because of the way British society is, quite frankly you were denied an education, so I got one of my own.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon

If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
Image
My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.
John Lydon
Image
Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
Image
I never take any commitment lightly, and I certainly don’t take my wife lightly. I never did and I never will. That’s permanent. That’s true love.
John Lydon
Image
I keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.
John Lydon
Image
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
John Lydon

I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
