I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile.
John Lydon
Image
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.
John Lydon

John Lydon
Image
Let's escape the past. The past didn't work. All we have is the future, and I'm the one who wrote no future for you! Don't let the irony be lost.

I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.
John Lydon
Image
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon
Image
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
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
John Lydon
Image
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.
John Lydon
Image
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.

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