I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.
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
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.

Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.

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.

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

Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
Image
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
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 find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.

Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon

I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.

U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.

I've never said I'm a communist.

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.
