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.

More quotes by John Lydon
I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.
John Lydon
I've never said I'm a communist.
John Lydon
I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.

John Lydon
Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!
John Lydon
It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
John Lydon
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
I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
John Lydon
There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
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 applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
John Lydon
Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.
John Lydon
If you are pissing people off, you know you are doing something right
John Lydon
Books are like my one and only joy.
John Lydon
If the Royal Family was going to assassinate someone, they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago.
John Lydon
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
I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
