Quote

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.

All the things that you would have thought would have made me a professional A1 criminal... wrong. I decided that was too lazy and easy, and because of the way British society is, quite frankly you were denied an education, so I got one of my own.

People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.

Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.

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

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.

The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.

Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. It's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the Dr.Martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. Very anarchistic!

I don't believe in anarchy, because it will ultimately amount to the power of the bully, with weapons. Gandhi is my life's inspiration: passive resistance. I don't want to live in the Thunderdome with Mad Max.
John Lydon
Image
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.
John Lydon
Image
Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

I've never said I'm a communist.

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.

My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions.

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

Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.

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