When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.

More quotes by John Lydon
It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.
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
Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
John Lydon
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
I keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.
John Lydon
You should never, ever be understood completely. That's like the kiss of death, isn't it? It's a full stop. I don't ever think you should put full stops on thoughts. They change.
John Lydon
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
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
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
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
John Lydon
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
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
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon
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
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
'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
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile.
John Lydon
