You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.
John Lydon
Image
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
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.

I don't listen to music. I hate music.

Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.

Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.
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
Image
For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.
John Lydon
Image
I never take any commitment lightly, and I certainly don’t take my wife lightly. I never did and I never will. That’s permanent. That’s true love.
John Lydon

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
Image
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
Image
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

The country you're born in is where your passport comes from. No, not according to Donald Trump! No, not at all. I resent that kind of extremism of any kind. Left wing, right wing. Anyway at all. Anything that judges other people so harshly and across the board stupidity-wise. I got no time for that.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
