More quotes by John Lydon
For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!
John Lydon
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
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
Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
I don't understand the art of compromise, and it's a shame the politicians don't understand that as well, you know, we might have a better, clearer world. But then saying that, we might also get a lot of Donald Trump's running left right and centre.
John Lydon
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
John Lydon
Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.
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
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
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
For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.
John Lydon
I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
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
Only the fakes survive.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
John Lydon
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.
John Lydon
Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.
John Lydon
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
