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

As a human being, I'm work in process.
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.

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

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.

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.

The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
John Lydon
Image
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.

I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
John Lydon
Image
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.
John Lydon
Image
For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.

When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole

As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.
John Lydon
Image
I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
John Lydon

I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry!
John Lydon
Image
I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.
John Lydon
Image
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.

Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!
