You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.

More quotes by John Lydon
I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
My words are my bullets.
John Lydon
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
John Lydon
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.
John Lydon
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.
John Lydon
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.
John Lydon
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.
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
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
John Lydon
Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.
John Lydon
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
John Lydon
Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you.
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
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
