You know, I've been to some superstars' houses, and I've been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They're just there on the walls glaring at you when you're trying to be occupied with other things.

More quotes by John Lydon
For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.
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
I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
John Lydon
As a human being, I'm work in process.
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
There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
John Lydon
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.
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
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
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
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole
John Lydon
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.
John Lydon
Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
John Lydon
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
