If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
John Lydon
Image
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
Image
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
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

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
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.

It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
John Lydon
Image
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
Image
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

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.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
John Lydon
Image
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
Image
I don't believe in anarchy, because it will ultimately amount to the power of the bully, with weapons. Gandhi is my life's inspiration: passive resistance. I don't want to live in the Thunderdome with Mad Max.
John Lydon
Image
My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.
John Lydon
Image
What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.
John Lydon

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon
Image
I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon

I never take any commitment lightly, and I certainly don’t take my wife lightly. I never did and I never will. That’s permanent. That’s true love.
