More quotes by John Lydon
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
John Lydon
The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
John Lydon
'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.
John Lydon
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon
Britain's an island it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
John Lydon
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
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!
John Lydon
Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.
John Lydon
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
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
I could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.
John Lydon
