Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.
John Lydon
Image
You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry!
John Lydon
Image
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
Image
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

'Lollipop Opera' is the backdrop to Finsbury Park. A place that is very thriving, interracial and lot of music stores, Greek, Turkish, all sorts of immigrant music. It's utter Englishness. It blends the Jamaicans, the Irish. It's like what Jim Reeves did with American country music.
John Lydon
Image
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
As a human being, I'm work in process.
John Lydon
Image
There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
John Lydon
Image
Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
