I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.
John Lydon
Image
As a human being, I'm work in process.
John Lydon

You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.

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

I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.

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!

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.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.

This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.

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 have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon
Image
I keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.

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.
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.
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.

Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
Image
I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.

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

I'm not able to tell you what the best song is yet, because there's more to come. I feel that in me. I can still feel the burning energy and the desire to create and create and create.
