More quotes by John Lydon
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.
John Lydon
I'm not able to tell you what the best song is yet, because there's more to come. I feel that in me. I can still feel the burning energy and the desire to create and create and create.
John Lydon
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.
John Lydon
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.
John Lydon
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
John Lydon
You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.
John Lydon
The country you're born in is where your passport comes from. No, not according to Donald Trump! No, not at all. I resent that kind of extremism of any kind. Left wing, right wing. Anyway at all. Anything that judges other people so harshly and across the board stupidity-wise. I got no time for that.
John Lydon
I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.
John Lydon
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
John Lydon
Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.
John Lydon
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
I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.
John Lydon
I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.
John Lydon
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!
John Lydon
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
I will always pay respect and homage to my early years, because that's what gave me the initial push to go on and do what it is I do. That's where I learned the love and respect for music.
John Lydon
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
I love conversation and the sharing of different thoughts and philosophies. That kind of stuff always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them.
John Lydon
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
