I'm not going to pontificate and tell you to execute your government at dawn, but it wouldn't be a bad idea.

We're Sex Pistols, we ain't fake.

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!

If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.

If my leg falls off, I'll get a prosthetic. There'd be no deep sadness about. I'd just get on with it! It's called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what.

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.

I'd rather give up my ears than my eyes, which might sound unusual for a musician.
