Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon

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.
John Lydon

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
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.
John Lydon
Image
Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
Image
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
