More quotes by John Lydon
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
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
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.
John Lydon
I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va! If I had had the money I wouldn't have spent it on shit like that.
John Lydon
The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.
John Lydon
The sounds of anger are not melodic.
John Lydon
Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!
John Lydon
My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions.
John Lydon
I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
John Lydon
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
John Lydon
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.
John Lydon
Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
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
Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.
John Lydon
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.
John Lydon
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!
John Lydon
These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.
