I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.
John Lydon

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.

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!

Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.

The sounds of anger are not melodic.

Image
The greatest achievement of my life is enduring a disease that nearly killed me. I came out of it a better person. It's my one great accomplishment - more so than anything else I've done.

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

I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.

When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole

Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
Image
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
John Lydon
Image
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
John Lydon
Image
I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
John Lydon
Image
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
John Lydon

'Lollipop Opera' is the backdrop to Finsbury Park. A place that is very thriving, interracial and lot of music stores, Greek, Turkish, all sorts of immigrant music. It's utter Englishness. It blends the Jamaicans, the Irish. It's like what Jim Reeves did with American country music.
John Lydon

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.

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.

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.
