Image
I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile.
John Lydon
Image
I come from the school of do it yourself mate. Unfortunately over the years there's been quite a few of, Can you do it for us Johnny, so we can grab all your glory?.
John Lydon
Image
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
John Lydon
Image
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.
John Lydon
Image
There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.
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
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
Image
Let's escape the past. The past didn't work. All we have is the future, and I'm the one who wrote no future for you! Don't let the irony be lost.
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
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
It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.
John Lydon
Image
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
Image
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
John Lydon
Image
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
John Lydon
Image
I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
John Lydon
Image
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.

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

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

Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.
