Quote

For me people are people, without meaning to sound corny, it's a plain natural fact, music is a universal language and I've always known that and observed that and treated music with great respect accordingly.

Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.
John Lydon

I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.
John Lydon
Image
If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
John Lydon
Image
When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.
