More quotes by John Lydon

Image
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!
John Lydon
Image
Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!
John Lydon
Image
I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.
John Lydon
Image
I could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.
John Lydon
Image
The sounds of anger are not melodic.
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.

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.
John Lydon
Image
You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.
John Lydon
Image
What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.
John Lydon
Image
I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon
Image
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.
John Lydon
Image
It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.
John Lydon
Image
My words are my bullets.
John Lydon
Image
Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
John Lydon
Image
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon
Image
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
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
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
