Quote

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.

Do not stand in the middle, go to the right or to the left.

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.

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!

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!

Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.
John Lydon

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.

Meat isn't murder, it's delicious.
John Lydon

I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.
John Lydon
Image
The day I run out of ideas is the day I stop making records.
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
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon
Image
I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.
John Lydon
Image
My words are my bullets.
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.
John Lydon

If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
