More quotes by John Lydon
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
I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
John Lydon
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!
John Lydon
As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
Let's escape the past. The past didn't work. All we have is the future, and I'm the one who wrote no future for you! Don't let the irony be lost.
John Lydon
For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.
John Lydon
Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.
John Lydon
I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.
John Lydon
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
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
I love conversation and the sharing of different thoughts and philosophies. That kind of stuff always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them.
John Lydon
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.
John Lydon
I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
John Lydon
