More quotes by John Lydon
I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
John Lydon
Punks in their silly leather jackets are a cliché. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.
John Lydon
My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.
John Lydon

John Lydon
I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
John Lydon
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Britain's an island it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.
John Lydon
I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.
John Lydon
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
John Lydon
Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you.
John Lydon
One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.
John Lydon
Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
I come from the school of do it yourself mate. Unfortunately over the years there's been quite a few of, Can you do it for us Johnny, so we can grab all your glory?.
