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.

I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon

I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.

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.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
Image
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.

Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.

Michael Jackson plays the wounded puppy very well. 'I must be the loneliest man in the world'. Well, you're not a man. And the loneliness is self inflicted, so sod off you pathetic puerile pimp. I wonder what color his willy is.

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.

Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.

The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.

Image
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
If you can sort out why you feel the way you do then you might be in better shape to meet your maker.
John Lydon
Image
I could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.

I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
John Lydon
Image
Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!
John Lydon
Image
I somehow hope - naïve though I may be, utopian, possibly - that my music has some kind of calming effect on the universe, that it's somehow beneficial to people.

Image
For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.
John Lydon
Image
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'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
