I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
Image
I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon
Image
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
I somehow hope - naïve though I may be, utopian, possibly - that my music has some kind of calming effect on the universe, that it's somehow beneficial to people.
John Lydon
Image
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

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.

I'm not going to pontificate and tell you to execute your government at dawn, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
John Lydon
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 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.
John Lydon
Image
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.
John Lydon
Image
I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.
John Lydon
Image
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
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
Image
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
It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.

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