Image
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Lydon
Image
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.
John Lydon
Image
I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
John Lydon
Image
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
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.
John Lydon
Image
Some visualize the Pistols era in shades of black and white. It wasn't. Actually, the colors I envision are neon or army dirt green with fluorescent pink--anything that would annoy.
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.
John Lydon
Image
Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.
John Lydon
Image
I don't need a Rolls-Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't need to live in the south of France. I'm quite happy as I am.
John Lydon
Image
If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
John Lydon
Image
I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.
John Lydon
Image
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.
John Lydon
Image
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
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
John Lydon
Image
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
Image
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
Image
There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
