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

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

For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.

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

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.

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

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.

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!

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon

Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon

U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
Image
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.

If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.

It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.

My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
