More quotes by 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

John Lydon
Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
John Lydon
Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.
John Lydon
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
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

John Lydon
When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole
John Lydon
You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.
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
Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
John Lydon
Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.
John Lydon
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon
