Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.

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

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.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

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

I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.

I like lime-flavoured yoghurt. The end. There is no religion. It’s a man-made fabrication. Once you understand that, you’ll be a happier individual. Atheism is as pointless as satanism.
John Lydon

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
John Lydon

As a human being, I'm work in process.
John Lydon

I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.
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.
John Lydon
Image
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
John Lydon
Image
Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.
John Lydon
Image
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
Image
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
Image
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
