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 think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
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.

Only the fakes survive.
John Lydon
Image

John Lydon
Image
I could never be a member of a single party. I want the best of all worlds, thank you.
John Lydon

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.
John Lydon
Image
I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
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
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
John Lydon
Image
I will always pay respect and homage to my early years, because that's what gave me the initial push to go on and do what it is I do. That's where I learned the love and respect for music.
