There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

The greatest achievement of my life is enduring a disease that nearly killed me. I came out of it a better person. It's my one great accomplishment - more so than anything else I've done.

John Lydon
Image

John Lydon

Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.
John Lydon
Image

John Lydon
Image
All the things that you would have thought would have made me a professional A1 criminal... wrong. I decided that was too lazy and easy, and because of the way British society is, quite frankly you were denied an education, so I got one of my own.

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
Image
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
Image
It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
