I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.
John Lydon
Image
If dolphins are so intelligent, how come they ain't got Walkmans?
John Lydon
Image
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.
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
Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
John Lydon
Image
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
John Lydon
Image
It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.
John Lydon
Image
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
Image
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
John Lydon
Image
You have moments of grief in life, and if you can put pen to paper and capture that, that's something wonderful. I can revisit actual songs about past deaths, and I know that emotion is as true now as it was then.
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
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.
John Lydon
Image
The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
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.
John Lydon
Image
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
John Lydon
Image
Love is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of squishy sounds.

Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you.
John Lydon
Image
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
Image
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.
