Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
Image
You know, I've been to some superstars' houses, and I've been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They're just there on the walls glaring at you when you're trying to be occupied with other things.
John Lydon
Image
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
Image
My words are my bullets.
John Lydon
Image
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Lydon
Image
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
Image
Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.
John Lydon
Image
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!
John Lydon
Image
For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!
John Lydon
Image
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
Image
I somehow hope - naïve though I may be, utopian, possibly - that my music has some kind of calming effect on the universe, that it's somehow beneficial to people.
John Lydon
Image
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.
John Lydon
Image
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
John Lydon
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon
Image
Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
