It seems like the more I punish myself, the better it's been. What it is, I'm relentless and I never give up. I never take the easy way out.
John Lydon
Image
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.
John Lydon
Image
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.

I'm not going to pontificate and tell you to execute your government at dawn, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.

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

I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
John Lydon

I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

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

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.
