There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
John Lydon
Image
For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile.
John Lydon
Image
I could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.
John Lydon
Image
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
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.

Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.
John Lydon
Image
For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.
John Lydon
Image
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.

If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
John Lydon
Image
Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
John Lydon
Image
Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.
John Lydon
Image
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
Image
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.
John Lydon
Image
For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.
John Lydon

The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
