My reputation is a media creation.

I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy or die.

My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.

Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.

I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.

I've always despised the hippies.
