Quote

Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.

I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
Image
I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
John Lydon
Image
I love conversation and the sharing of different thoughts and philosophies. That kind of stuff always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them.

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.

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.

If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.

I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.

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.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
Image
For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

Britain's an island it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.

The country you're born in is where your passport comes from. No, not according to Donald Trump! No, not at all. I resent that kind of extremism of any kind. Left wing, right wing. Anyway at all. Anything that judges other people so harshly and across the board stupidity-wise. I got no time for that.

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
