Quote

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

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.

You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.

I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.

I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
Image
The sounds of anger are not melodic.
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.

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.

I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
John Lydon
Image
As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not going to pontificate and tell you to execute your government at dawn, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.
John Lydon
Image
I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.
John Lydon
Image
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
Image
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon
Image
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!

Books are like my one and only joy.
John Lydon

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
