If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
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.

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!

When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.
John Lydon

It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
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
You should never, ever be understood completely. That's like the kiss of death, isn't it? It's a full stop. I don't ever think you should put full stops on thoughts. They change.

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
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.
John Lydon
Image
There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
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
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
Image
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
Image
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.
John Lydon
Image
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
Image
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.

Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
