I never take any commitment lightly, and I certainly don’t take my wife lightly. I never did and I never will. That’s permanent. That’s true love.

I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
John Lydon

When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole
John Lydon

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.
John Lydon
Image
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
Image
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.

It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
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
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
Image
I don't understand the art of compromise, and it's a shame the politicians don't understand that as well, you know, we might have a better, clearer world. But then saying that, we might also get a lot of Donald Trump's running left right and centre.
John Lydon
Image
You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.
John Lydon
Image
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
Image
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
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 could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.
John Lydon
Image
If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
John Lydon
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

Punks in their silly leather jackets are a cliché. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.
John Lydon
Image
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
Image
It seems like the more I punish myself, the better it's been. What it is, I'm relentless and I never give up. I never take the easy way out.
