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

More quotes by John Lydon
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
John Lydon
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
The greatest achievement of my life is enduring a disease that nearly killed me. I came out of it a better person. It's my one great accomplishment - more so than anything else I've done.
John Lydon
My words are my bullets.
John Lydon
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
Let's escape the past. The past didn't work. All we have is the future, and I'm the one who wrote no future for you! Don't let the irony be lost.
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
Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.
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
If you are pissing people off, you know you are doing something right
John Lydon
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.
John Lydon
Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
John Lydon
I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
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
Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
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
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!
John Lydon
It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.
John Lydon
