More quotes by John Lydon
I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.
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
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
John Lydon
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
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
One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.
John Lydon
Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.
John Lydon
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
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 come from the school of do it yourself mate. Unfortunately over the years there's been quite a few of, Can you do it for us Johnny, so we can grab all your glory?.
John Lydon
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon
I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
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
It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.
John Lydon
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.
John Lydon
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!
John Lydon
