More quotes by 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?.
John Lydon
Only the fakes survive.
John Lydon
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.
John Lydon
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
My words are my bullets.
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
Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.
John Lydon
I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.
John Lydon
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.
John Lydon
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
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
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.
John Lydon
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.
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
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
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.
John Lydon
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
John Lydon
It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.
John Lydon
