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.

I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
John Lydon
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
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
I like lime-flavoured yoghurt. The end. There is no religion. It’s a man-made fabrication. Once you understand that, you’ll be a happier individual. Atheism is as pointless as satanism.
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.
John Lydon
Britain's an island it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.
John Lydon
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.
John Lydon
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
John Lydon
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
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
Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.
John Lydon
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.
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
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
Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.
John Lydon
It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
John Lydon
