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.

These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.

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 can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.
John Lydon

My words are my bullets.
John Lydon
Image
I'm very open about my politics. I don't believe in any political party at all, none of them.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
Image
I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Lydon

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
John Lydon

For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.

Books are like my one and only joy.
