Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!

More quotes by John Lydon
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
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.
John Lydon
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
John Lydon
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
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
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Lydon
There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
John Lydon
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.
John Lydon
I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.
John Lydon
Some visualize the Pistols era in shades of black and white. It wasn't. Actually, the colors I envision are neon or army dirt green with fluorescent pink--anything that would annoy.
John Lydon
Books are like my one and only joy.
John Lydon
