I don't need a Rolls-Royce, I don't need a house in the country, I don't need to live in the south of France. I'm quite happy as I am.

You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry!
John Lydon
Image
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
John Lydon

Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.

My words are my bullets.
John Lydon

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

Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
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.

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon

I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.

Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
John Lydon
Image
I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va! If I had had the money I wouldn't have spent it on shit like that.
John Lydon
Image
Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.
John Lydon
Image
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
Image
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
Image
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.
John Lydon
Image
For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.
John Lydon
Image
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing.

As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.
