Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.

Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
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
I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.

If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
John Lydon
Image
I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
John Lydon
Image
I don't listen to music. I hate music.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!

If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.

I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.

'Lollipop Opera' is the backdrop to Finsbury Park. A place that is very thriving, interracial and lot of music stores, Greek, Turkish, all sorts of immigrant music. It's utter Englishness. It blends the Jamaicans, the Irish. It's like what Jim Reeves did with American country music.

Some visualize the Pistols era in shades of black and white. It wasn't. Actually, the colors I envision are neon or army dirt green with fluorescent pink--anything that would annoy.

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.

I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.

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.

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.

You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry!
