I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.
John Lydon
Image
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.

Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
John Lydon
Image
I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.
John Lydon

You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.

I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon
Image
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
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

It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
John Lydon
Image
I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
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.
John Lydon
Image
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
John Lydon
Image
For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.
John Lydon
Image
Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.
